Amazing FREE Resources for the Frugal Homeschool Mom

My family is on a rather tight budget so I totally understand the need for conservation when it comes to homeschool resources. In fact, this year we are using printables, Easy Peasy Homeschool, and our local library for at least half of our curriculum. About the only things we bought this year were our math and reading books. That’s it! So yes, it is possible to homeschool frugally and homeschool well. Here are a few resources to help you get started on your frugal homeschool adventure.

Printables

I love printables. While I wouldn’t recommend using printables exclusively in your homeschool, free printables can provide a great supplement to almost any subject. Here are a few free resources to get you started.

To be “in the know” on many other free printables across the web, I also encourage you to check out Free Homeschool Deals. Jamerill is always posting amazing freebies that can help your homeschool.

Websites

There are several websites that can provide everything from a full curriculum outline to supplemental resources. Here are a few of my favorites:

Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool–a complete free online Christian homeschool curriculum
Ambleside Online–a complete free Charlotte Mason curriculum with a little help from your local library
One Humongous List of FREE Online Education Games Listed by Subject–hundreds of resources for online supplementation

Places

Your Local Library
Museums–While some have a fee, several are free, if not all the time, at least on Free Museum Days
Virtual Tours–Hundreds of museums provide virtual tours online for free. Do a google search to find a few of your favorites.

Hi Kathy…I just discovered you on Google+, and I’m delighted to make your acquaintance! My kiddos are grown now, but I still love encouraging homeschool moms. Here’s a post I wrote called “21 Low or No-Cost Ways to Homeschool on a Budget” which might help your readers:

We are using a wonderful free Bible Curriculum right now from http://www.apcurriculum.com. It is open source, comprehensive and covers many age groups!

Wow. That’s a new one to me. Neat! Thanks for sharing.

We’re on a budget too. We also use Easy Peasy. We love it. We’re new to homeschooling so we were so thankful to find it! And I also love printables. But who doesn’t? Thank you for sharing all of these great resources! Bookmarked!

Have a great week!
