About

Full discosure: we've never been able to stick to just one curriculum.

Instead, we have a few favorites that we cycle through depending on the season or the mood. I'll share a simple list of what we like to use here - along with some discount codes. Don't be fooled by me being an affiliate, though - I'm picky. There's a reason this list is short!

And this also isn't to say there aren't other great curriculums out there, either. What and how your children learn is such a personal, customized choice, you know? So this is just my perspective, as a type B, a la carte, nature-based mom of 3 boys. Enjoy! :)

Peaceful Press

We've loved using Peaceful Press for Thom! He was ready for Peaceful Preschool around age 4, and is now starting their Nourishing Nature Kindergarten. We don't do every single activity, but he LOVES the activity printables - that's really his favorite thing at this age.

Gus seems to be more patient with reading and slowing down to be read to, so I'm glad we have the digital copy of this to just have re-printed when Gus is old enough!

Your Wild Books

Technically not a curriculum, but these books are FULL of nature crafts that we love to do & draw inspiration from! They also have extra activities like matching card games & other fun ways to learn about nature. We love and use just about everything in their shop!

Idlewild Curriculum

This is the first curriculum I ever used with Hudson - it's SO beautifully done and well-thought out! We did The Art Studies and The Organic Studies. Thom hasn't done these yet, but I purchased The Whimsy Studies to use when we introduce a younger cohort at Nature School.

THE BOOK LIST SHE HAS CURATED IS WORTH BUYING THE CURRICULUM FOR. Truly. We've discovered out absolute favorite books through Idlewild, and for that are so grateful!

Outschool

WE LOVE OUTSCHOOL. Not a curriculum, but a marketplace full of classes and courses. You can search any subject, any interest, and choose either self-paced recorded classes, tutoring, or group classes,

NOTHING has enriched our homeschooling experience more than Outschool and the wonderful teachers on there!

Hudson has taken chess, garden planning, survival skills, natural science, sign language. and so many more. Thom just recently started a Waldorf Kindergarten class and it's been SO SO good!
