As homeschoolers, we are always on the look out for new products to enhance our children’s learning experience.
I thought it would be fun to share some of our homeschool discoveries; things that we’ve enjoyed using this month in our homeschool.
Please note: You do NOT need to buy any of these products to be a good mum, or give your child a good education!!! The chances are you’re already doing a great job with our without these products! However, if you are looking for something new and want to see what we’ve been using, please read on!
April’s Homeschool Favourites
Rush Hour Logic Game
There are different levels of difficulty, and it come with a handy draw-string bay to keep the pieces together.
It’s a great way to develop problem solving and critical thinking skills, and exercise little (and not so little) minds.
Fun Dough Arabic Letters
Everything inside is good quality, it’s easy to use and the play dough even smells like bubble gum!
Now that spring is upon us, we are spending more time outdoors. In particular, an important part of our homeschool curriculum is the study of nature.
We’ve been using these binoculars
A Drawing a Day
This colourful book by Usborne is filled with instructions on how to draw 366 different things; animals, vehicles, buildings, food…Plenty to keep your children interested.
It give simple step-by-step directions that make it easy for children to follow along and work independently.
There is plenty of space to draw in the book itself, and the pages tear out easily. It is very child friendly and lots of fun! I would recommend it for children over 5 years-old.
I hope you enjoyed seeing what products we’ve been using in our homeschool this month. I’d love to hear what some of your favourite products are.
Please let me know in the comments below.

We just established a small Islamic school for Muslim children around our neighborhood. We decided to have an Islamic school for them because Philippine International schools here in Saudi don't prioritize Islam and Arabic subjects in their curriculum.
Our teacher staff have been looking for interesting activities for the pupils, in shaa Allah will recommend this play dough set and will check out more of your posts.
JazakAllah khair.
