Today I want to share 5 great gift ideas for the homeschoolers in your life for pre-k through early elementary ages! Whether you want to give a gift to kick off the first day of the school year, give intentionally to the homeschool family in your life on the next birthday or ‘just because’, or if you’re a grandparent of homeschoolers and want to give gifts that both show your love to your grandchildren, but also gift something the parents can also appreciate and use in their homeschool day, I hope this blog post gives you some practical and simple ideas!

1. Yoto Player & Story Cards –
A Yoto Player is a great gift to give your child when they are listening to audiobooks often, but you don’t want to hand over a tablet or your phone with internet access. This is also a fun, kid-friendly way to reduce screen time, and it even includes an app which you can control features like an awake-time clock, Bluetooth feature and more! Choose over 800 story cards which also include music, activities, sound effects, and podcasts. You can also purchase blanket story cards so you can add your own story and/or music if you don’t find what you’re looking for in their large Card Store. Add new story cards to your child’s collection as a stocking-stuffer, Easter basket, or other occasions throughout the year! Here’s 10% off a Yoto Player just for being here!
2. Art Supplies and Handicraft Kits –
One of the many treasures of homeschooling is the ability to include subjects such as art, and handicrafts. Gifting art supplies of great quality and handicraft kits are a sure way the homeschoolers in your life will improve skills, and enjoy another fantastic leisure of creativity and imagination!
Some art supplies might include:
+Crafting materials such as glue, felt, beads, yarn, string, sticks, ect.
3. Gifts To Explore Nature –
Homeschoolers love to explore! From their backyard to great adventures while camping, giving gifts for exploration is such a great way to encourage endless outdoor play and observe creation around them!
+ Butterfly wings and dragon tails
+ Bird feeders and bird houses
+ Games like ‘Match A Track’ or ‘Bug Bingo’
4. Memberships –
Local art museums, science museums, zoos, aquariums, recreation centers and so many other places require memberships and this is a great gift to be used throughout the year! Homeschoolers get the advantage of going to these places when it’s less busy, but the cost can sometimes be a factor to any family. This could also include any music, dance or sport lessons that your homeschoolers are interested in!
5. ‘Homeschool Funds’ Gift Card –
Probably the most simple, and practical gift you can give that will serve both the homeschooler and homeschool parents is a gift-card to be used for any of the above, curriculum, books, or those special treats out for an ice cream after lessons!
