We homeschool/unschool 3 children ages 9, 6 and 3. Here are some of the resources we use for learning, whether we are at home in Arkansas or on the road in our skoolie!
Outschool.comAstrid teaches on Outschool (you can view a listing of classes here), and all three children take classes frequently from various teachers. We love Outschool for unschooling because you can find so many unique classes being offered at various times. Students from all over the world participate, which makes it a lot of fun as well.

Junior Rangers ProgramThe kids absolutely love collected badges at the state and national parks that we visit on our travels. Some are not just state parks, though; many historical sites also offer badges for children to earn. If you haven't yet joined, check out the National Park Service website, where you can locate your nearest park. If you don't live near a park, you can download and print the workbook, mail it in, and have the badge mailed to you!
Here is their website: https://www.nps.gov/kids/jrrangers.cfm |
Teachers Pay TeachersOne of my go-to sites for printouts and handouts! Sometimes I find a curriculum package for a subject my kids have expressed interest in, and they enjoy working on it. Since we unschool it is usually random, and often I just browse the free items to see what I find. You can also sign up to sell your own curriculum or printables if you like to make your own:
