This week I want to feature Spell Out Loud a homeschooling blog authored by Maureen Spell a homeschooling mom to six children. Maureen’s blog is full of activities and ideas that will inspire you and spark some creativity into your homeschool. You will find toddler and preschool arts and crafts, lapbook projects, reviews, digital scrapbooking and free printables.
When you visit her blog you are entering a delightful world of arts, crafts and home school knowledge. Her blog is easy to navigate with many interesting posts and sections. I love her Toddler Time because she shows you how to engage toddlers and keep up with their fast paced imagination. The ideas are fantastic and she explains thoroughly and provides pictures of all the activities. The activities are so much fun that you will rush to teach your toddler his colors and shapes.
If you want your jaw to drop and your heart to go pitter patter with the excitement of FREE quality printables, click on over to her Free Printables tab. I guarantee you will be visiting her daily as you load up on quality fun printables for your little student. She provides free printables for bible study, lapbooks, letters, geography, holidays, toddlers, preschool and more!
Maureen knows her way around teaching little ones and she gladly shares it. One nice thing about her ideas and arts is they are economical. She shares wonderful ideas on how to make learning letters special from making a no-bake cupcake craft to have a wild time in the jungle when you hit the letter “J”. So if you are an experienced homeschooler, day care provider, or teacher or just starting out, you will benefit from visiting her blog.
Maureen is also an experienced product, toy and curriculum reviewer. Her reviews are fair, honest, and useful to moms. She reviews privately and for the TOS Homeschool Crew. In addition to her blog she writes Squidoo articles focusing on education and crafts and is a regular contributor to Totally Tots in the bi-weekly ABC column.
