Ideas For Kids Over Break

It is spring here. You wouldn’t know that since there is snow on the ground and my children are home for the second day in a row. I am on the brink of insanity since I still have work to do. Then I got to thinking even though they do not have school. I bet I could find a way to teach them something.  I just needed Ideas for Kids Over Break.

Are you tired of hearing I am bored? Do you have a nervous breakdown when your kids are at home from school? (I do.) Do not worry I love mine to the moon and back but I can’t keep them entertained forever and more importantly I do not have the funds to buy them everything they think they want.  What I do have is a desired to help them learn new things. I love when they can find those gifts that they have and use them. I can’t tell you how overjoyed I am when they are excited and happy.

I have three kids, and they are all different. They differ in age, gender, and interest. They also vary in learning style so how did I find a resolution for all three children at the same time on a limited budget?

Am I magical?

It depends who you ask. I will share my magic with you and tell you my secret. It is Craftsy.com.

Why Craftsy.com?

• My kids love their devices. Craftsy uses their devices to teach them an important skill.
• There are no commercials or sales pitches on Craftsy.
• You can watch the videos over and over again and pause them when they need to clean room, eat dinner, or they want to try something new.
• The material you can learn is incredible. They can learn anything from baking with your help (oven), to drawing, sewing, and there is even a pet photography class.
• The materials required for the videos are affordable and usually stuff you already have.
• Craftsy also sells kits that can be sent right to your door.
• There are no limits to the number of classes you can take with the Craftsy Unlimited plan.

This is how we used Craftsy.com. I open up the website. I purchased the unlimited plan which is less than one child going to one week of camp. The program is good for one year. I had each child look up a class they wanted to take.

The oldest wanted to try a drawing class. The middle child wanted to try a drawing class for younger kids, and the youngest wants to learn to bake bread.

Then we went ahead and reviewed the lesson times. We made a plan based on what they will do when. I let them know this was their job. They were to learn new information and be able to show us how they did it.

What I like best about Craftsy.com is it is easy to use, and the topics they cover are enjoyable. I have watched several of the photography classes because that is something I am interested in. I also had a friend try one of the sewing classes, and she was able to start making a quilt.

Craftsy.com has so many Ideas For Kids Over Break they will be busy learning the entire time and with new classes being added all the time the possibilities are endless.

I thought I would share because spring break is coming up and so is summer. Craftsy is a fantastic tool to help you get rid of the phrase “I’m bored.” I love that my kids can learn something in our home and I do not have to drive them every which way, and I can easily afford the cost of the membership.
