Things To Strew

Home >> Home School Ideas >> Strewing >> Things to strew

Have some homeschool fun by strewing some items and allowing your child to find and investigate them.

Strewing is a wonderful way to spark your child's interest and curiosity - whether you are an unschooling or homeschool family. Here are my ideas for fun things to strew to get you started;

Home School Ideas

Stamps

Travel brochures

A book, toy or game they haven’t looked at in ages.

An article cut from a newspaper or magazine

A left open encyclopaedia or reference book. Good ones are ones with card games, or magic tricks, or knots (leave some string too!)

A small basket of craft stuff

A tube of glitter, a scrap of fabric or yarn.

An old watch - even better, take the back off it.

Leaves, flowers, twigs, acorns, pebbles,shells

Forms - from the post office or bank

Old coins or notes, or foreign money

Blank index cards - or write a foreign word on one.

A box of ‘interesting’ things you find around the house

Unusual shaped vegetables, bunches of herbs, jars of beans, or an unusual fruit.

A telephone book or dictionary

Rolls of wallpaper or paint samples

Labels - from tins, wine

Bowls of snacks

Old photos, postcards or maps. For postcards from around the world - see Postcrossing.com

A picture they drew when they were younger

Old keys

1/2 played game of solitaire

large old blanket, or sheet.

I am sure you can think of lots more ideas! And its not just things you can strew. How about going a different way home? Or popping into a different shop to buy your groceries? Or have some homeschool fun re-arranging the books on the bookshelf by color?
