How can hands-on activities help with learning?

As kids prepare for another spring of homeschooling, hands-on activities offer a great way to facilitate learning.

Working with items that kids can touch and manipulate, helps kids better understand theories and ideas in real-world terms. Whether it’s building a model of a bee’s body as kids learn about the different parts of insect anatomy or experimenting with different plants while studying botany, doing hands-on activities creates an engaging learning experience.

Kids will remember the things they create or build with their own hands and how that relates to their lessons more than reading about it or being told. Get out your craft supplies and get busy.
