In March of 2020, after the spring break that never ended, we tried our hand at homesteading. Our neighbor lent us a small incubator and gave us some hatching eggs for our girls to learn about the development of chickens. That little science lesson quickly escalated into a full-blown farm addiction for the whole family. We dabbled in a little bit of everything; we raised rabbits, quail, sheep, goats, ponies, chickens and turkeys. We even had a llama for a time. We grew a little garden and fell in love with our new pandemic life.

As the school year began in August, I wanted to take on homeschooling. I created handwriting workbooks for my younger girls based on our new farm life as they were entering kindergarten and second grade. Turned out, I’m a great designer, great at taking on new challenges, like becoming an okay farmer – but not the greatest homeschool teacher. Both girls learned to write pretty well with these little books. Though it didn’t take long for me to realize that our second grader was showing signs of dyslexia. I had plans to have her help me teach her sister to read. I discovered that was going to be a struggle. Soon, the girls returned to the public classroom and I had these great little books as a result.

The workbooks feature farm life and a cottage-style handwriting house, inspired by the Abeka curriculum. I hope you enjoy these sweet little books available on Amazon.
