Whether you are diving into homeschooling this school year or will be supplementing your child's school's curriculum with at-home learning and virtual lesson days, we want to help. Although teaching our kids at home seems overwhelming, especially for the younger set who need to be read to or the older elementary kids who are learning concepts you truly can't remember, don't know how to explain, or have trouble understanding (Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? was a show for a reason!), there are supplies that can help along the way.
From organisational materials to workbooks and dry-erase boards, we've rounded up some of the best items we can find to help you teach your preschool and elementary-age children at home. Shop the list ahead, and hang in there, folks!
