✏️ Top 5 Must-Have Tools for Homeschooling Little Learners
Homeschooling little ones is a joyful journey — full of curiosity, discovery, and plenty of wiggles! Whether you're just starting out or looking to refresh your routine, having the right tools can make all the difference.
Here are my top 5 must-have resources to make homeschooling smoother, more organized, and full of heart.
1. Books by Rimes Homeschool Planner
Staying organized is key when teaching young children.
Our Homeschool Planner was designed with real homeschooling life in mind — complete with monthly calendars, curriculum trackers, lesson plan pages, attendance sheets, and even space for reflections and future planning.
It's flexible enough to grow with your family’s needs and detailed enough to help you feel confident and prepared.
⭐ Tip: Set aside 10–15 minutes every Sunday to plan your week with the planner — it will save you time and stress!
2. Calming Journey for Little Ones Book Series
Big feelings are part of little learners’ days! Our Calming Journey for Little Ones books offer gentle breathing exercises, visualizations, and mindfulness tools that help kids settle their bodies and minds.
Perfect for morning meetings, transitions between activities, or winding down after lessons.
⭐ Tip: Start your homeschool day with a calming activity — it helps set a peaceful, focused tone for learning.
3. Hands-On Learning Materials
Young children learn best when they can touch, move, and play!
Simple tools like magnetic letters, counting bears, sensory bins, and playdough are perfect for teaching early math and literacy skills.
⭐ Tip: Rotate hands-on materials weekly to keep activities fresh and exciting.
4. A Cozy Reading Corner
Create a special space filled with picture books, cushions, and soft lighting.
A cozy reading area invites children to fall in love with books — which supports vocabulary growth, imagination, and independent learning.
⭐ Tip: Let your child help set up and decorate the corner to make it feel extra special!
5. A Positive Routine Chart
Having a simple visual routine chart (with pictures and words) helps young children know what to expect throughout the day.
It encourages independence, reduces anxiety, and makes transitions smoother.
⭐ Tip: Review the daily routine each morning with your child, and celebrate when they complete tasks independently!
Homeschooling little learners doesn’t have to be overwhelming — with a few thoughtful tools and a lot of love, you’re setting the stage for an amazing year of growth, joy, and discovery.
