New Homeschool Resource Links

Posted on August 18, 2006 by throwingmarshmallows

I thought that I would pass on some of my favorite online homeschool resources…they are now linked under Homeschool Resources (original, huh?).

Fun Books – An online independent bookstore run by a wonderful homeschool family in Maryland. Has a wonderful assortment of books and interesting items. Also hosts the John Holt Bookstore. (Coming to the VaHomeschoolers Conference in 1 week!)

PhysLink – Not specifically homeschool related, but you can find so many neat things including science supplies, kits, toys and gifts. I do a lot of my birthday and Christmas shopping here…and not just for the kids. I have found great stuff for Jeff too!Discover This – A great place to do birthday and Christmas shopping as well. Lots of fun educational toys…including Capsela building sets which my boys love.

Educational Innovations – Don’t let the website address of teachersource scare you away. This site is chock full of fun interesting items. Divided into different categories such as “Electicity! Magnatism! Engines!”, “Color, Light & Sound, and “Forensic Science”, you can find some really unique stuff there.

Rainbow Resource – Absolutely huge homeschool catalog with great prices. You can request their free print catalog as well…this is one time I actually prefer browsing through the print catalog rather then the online. Each item has a small write-up or review. Great place to see what is out there…and to get overwhelmed with!

if I find anything else fun, I will let you know!

About throwingmarshmallows

I am a homeschooling mom to two sweet, energetic boys although I am probably not exactly what you would expect (definitely NOT your stereotypical homeschooler, if there is really such a thing). I support progressive political causes (yes, liberals can and do homeschool!) and I have found a spiritual home in the Unitarian Universalist Church. I have no real idea of how I want to use this blog, but will probably focus on homeschooling, things that I am learning from my boys, personal thoughts and opinions and maybe some liberal politics thrown in, who knows!

    I love funbooks! One of my favorite resources. They had Rosetta Stone back before anyone else did!
