Best Homeschool Gifts
For Christmas

Wasting hours struggling to find the best homeschool gifts for Christmas this year? Christmas shopping is sadly going to be a totally different experience and many of us will be stuck trying to pick from a bewildering array of small online images with reviews that aren't always ones you can trust. So I asked 3,000 homeschooling families to help out with their top choices that are both fun and educational.

Please note that the product links are affiliate links so if you buy you will pay exactly the same price as you would have done but I get a small percentage of the sale (which usually adds up to about a cookie.)

If you would prefer not to support this site in that way, just go to Amazon and search for the book yourself.

Hard to beat a Classic!

Simone from my Courageous Homeschooling Facebook group was excited to discover there is a Christmas version of Monopoly.

Board games are top of the list for best homeschool gifts; they are a wonderful way of bringing the whole family together over Christmas.

Best Board And Card Games To Teach Math

If you want to slip math into Christmas without anyone noticing, board and card games are the way to do it!

Science

I am certain that science is easier to teach at home than at school.  After all, the main thing you need to awaken is curiosity, which is what lies at the heart of everything.

One of the most exciting kist I've found is this Smart Labs Squishy human body model.

It is aimed at 8+; I suspect younger children would enjoy it too. The kit has:

• 21 realistic vital organs, bones, and muscles
• 12” clear plastic human body model, stand, 9 squishy organs, 12 plastic bones & muscles, forceps, tweezers, body part organ-izer mat
• STEM anatomy/Biology book

Animals: Becoming A Vet

If your child is dreaming of becoming a vet, I have the perfect gift for you.

Vet Academy is highly recommended by Jodi from my Courageous Homeschooling Facebook group. Because she knows it's hard to decide whether a book is any good or not she's posted lots of sample pages for you to see.

Dinosaurs have to be one of the biggest hits in our homeschool, as you can see from this giant lapbook we made covering all our living room walls!

Factual

Lego

When you're looking for best homeschool gifts you can't go wrong with lego!  Here's another example of a toy which teaches so well and so much.  Every year a lego set was top of the Christmas list for my son William. And my friend's son wants to show off his jet fighter:

Lego teaches so many skills; here is a page with more than seventy different learning activities.

Snap Circuits are a fantastic way to get hands-on with science and have fun with buzzers and bells.
