Now here is a cool idea for a semester-long art program: Cognitive Drawing is a 90 day workbook that guides students through a unique step by step process. It’s engaging, and we saw improvements right away. We received our copy free in exchange for this review. It’s part of Timberdoodle’s 11th Grade Curriculum bundle, but…
As a small girl I used to bike up the hill a few blocks from my house to my friend’s house.* I’d drop my bike in his driveway, cheeks flushed, and bangs matted with sweat against my forehead. I’d push right inside, without a second thought, hunting down my playmate, in hopes that there was…

Quiet-time math worksheets? Place value practice? Extreme Dot to Dot helps with that too! I received the Woodland edition of the Extreme Dot…
When I was a kid, I spent most of my free time drawing. Actually, I spent most of my class time doodling too. So I’m not surprised that my middle daughter (10) has an artistic streak. Girl loves to draw, so I am following my dear child and preparing our environment to help that avocation…

Looking for a cool game to test your spatial and fine motor skill — and steady hands? We received Ice Tumble in exchange for our honest review, and honestly we loved this game. We played this together as a family at least a dozen times since the box arrived. The gameplay is simple to understand,…
Colorku, the color Sudoku puzzle, is great in theory. Terrible in execution. Timberdoodle sends us a ton of great items to review, and we’ve loved nearly everything, but this was a total miss for our family. My candid review follows. If you’ve played Sudoku, where numbers 1-9 must be contained in each row, column and…
Every October we do a Harry Potter homeschooling week for my Harry Potter crazed kiddos. I’m super fortunate to be participating in a Wizarding swap group right now: potions, charms, and other fun all DIY and delivered through the mail. I am so excited about this slapjack game; I’m posting it free here for you…
I have been a big fan of Timberdoodle for years now. To the uninitiated, Timberdoodle is a small family business that offers curated curriculum choices both secular and religious. They tend to offer very unique and hands-on materials. We’ve reviewed a few here. Usually I just supplement our school days, road trips and many hospital…
