Free Arts & Crafts for Home Learning (Recommended by our friends Sam and Jake!)
Did you know that students who study art are four times more likely to earn academic honors? Arts and crafts have been around for centuries, and there are many different ways that you can make art. From scrapbooking and sewing to painting, sculpting, and drawing, there are lots of different types of arts and crafts to enjoy, and you can explore many of them at home.

Seasonal Coloring/Puzzles
Celebrating different holidays and seasonal events throughout the year is a common part of any school year, so plenty of students have found themselves coloring in pictures of pumpkins or doing worksheets or puzzles about Earth Day. There's a reason these sheets are a schoolroom staple. People tend to categorize certain experiences with certain seasons and holidays. There are lots of printable puzzles, crafts, games and pictures to color at this link for a wide variety of holidays and for the seasons.
