HOME LEARNING IDEAS

Teacher, chef, playmate, chief cuddler… as parents we take on my roles. We can't offer you the extra six hours you need a day, but we can help you restore a happy balance when it comes to spaces for learning, play, and relaxation. We’ve also rustled up a whole host of free printable home learning resources and activities to help you keep your little learners entertained.

ZONE OFF A SPACE

We understand that space in busy family homes is often sparse and you may not be able to dedicate a whole room to homeschooling. A simple yet effective way to create a home learning space is to zone off an area with a desk, chair, and rug. Setting boundaries between home learning and play areas will help give children a clear understanding of the purpose of each.

Whether it’s a quiet study space for older children nestled in a corner of their bedroom, or a learning nook in your living room for early learners, we’ve got a wide range of sturdy desks, tables, and chairs to choose from. With options suitable for toddlers, teens, and in between, you can create a homeschool set up in no time with our rigorously safety tested desks and chairs.

Our children’s desks feature plenty of surface space to crack on with worksheets or sit down with a laptop for a virtual lesson. From roomy drawers to cubbyholes, we make sure they offer lots of storage too – our desks can house stacks of study guides, books, and stationery.

Create an inspiration station for your little scholar with fun desk accessories to stimulate their senses and keep their study space clutter-free. Our range of wooden Desk Tidies and Carry Caddies are fantastic for organising homeschooling supplies like pens, pencils, scissors, and notebooks. They’ll ensure their homeschooling supplies are always close to hand so there’s no excuse to stop mid lesson to nip off and find a pencil.

Another way to keep their home learning space tidy is to create an area for all their notes and papers. Hang a notice board above their desk and pin up important reminders, their homeschool timetable, their artwork, or postcards printed with motivational quotes. From traditional corkboards, to fun themed notice boards, our range features options to suit study spaces in shared family rooms or children’s bedrooms.

When it comes to desk accessories, why not let your child choose their own? The more their home learning space feels special, the more they’ll enjoy spending time in it.

Looking for a way to make a screen or textbook based lesson more fun? We’ve got some great little home learning ideas to help you out. Take our Count the Pennies Money Box – not only is it brilliant to help children learn about saving, it’s also an interactive tool that will encourage engagement with money maths. They’ll love watching the different compartments fill up as they count their coins. You could also incorporate this teaching aid into a role play game of bank cashier and customer.

Our fun homeschool ideas don’t stop there! We’ve got clocks marked with minutes, hours, and when it’s to and past, reward charts to keep them on track, and Children’s Calendars to help them learn about the days of the week and the weather. These interactive home learning tools offer a tactile way to increase their everyday knowledge and encourage independence.

If you’re feeling the pressure of coming up with new home learning ideas, one thing we can guarantee to be a breeze (compared to familiarising yourself with fractions), is reading with your child or setting aside a dedicated time where they read by themselves.

Reading daily will give your child’s brain a thorough workout. The words your child reads will inevitably become part of their everyday vocabulary, boosting self-confidence, social skills, and in turn writing skills.

Curling up with a book is also a great way to distract children from stress and anxiety. While reading a story they can snuggle up, relax, and let their imagination soar as they escape to story land.

To make story time special and something even reluctant readers look forward to, create a cosy reading corner. All you need is a soft wool rug, a squishy bean bag, and easy to reach book storage. Our front facing bookshelves help early readers find their favourites in a jiffy; our classic bookcases are perfect for an ever-growing collection of chapter books.

For an extra snug book nook, set up a teepee filled with cushions and blankets.
