My main goal is to help YOU, the homeschool teacher!
You will:
Save time: just print, hit play, and enjoy your cup of coffee ☕️!
Save money: one purchase can be used by every child in your household
Encourage low-pressure creativity: open-ended art activities ignite the imagination without an expectation. The goal is to think outside the box, be creative, and practice their hand-eye coordination.
How much time will it take?
⏱️ Each lesson contains about 5-8 minutes of video content. Most families spend around 30 minutes on each lesson because they will pause to discuss or work on the PDF pages. You can spend more time on each lesson if you are feeling like a curious cat and choose to dive deeper into the state on your own.
Each state lesson includes:
🎥 An original video lesson including information and fun facts about the state.
📄 A PDF packet that includes 6 printable pages to go along with the video lesson. Each lesson includes the following pages:
State info page with flag drawing activity
Map page to identify and color state location
Copywork page to practice writing the state nickname and motto
Did you know page of multiple choice fun facts
Word Search page of relevant words that were in the lesson
State outline for creative drawing exercise: draw the state as a CAT! 🐈

Help your child understand the world around them
This is why I've created my own maps to use for these lessons. Some maps give the wrong visual representation of our continent. I believe it is important to know which countries border our land, and where Alaska and Hawaii are located in relation to the 48 contiguous states.
By using state outlines as a base for their creativity, kids learn to identify the state shapes in ways they never have before!
