Primary Years Home Education Activities and Ideas

Adventures in Learning for Primary Years Home Education from Ages 6-11

The primary years (ages 6-11) offer a beautiful opportunity to nurture your child’s natural curiosity while introducing more structured learning when they’re ready. In my 20+ years of home educating four children, I’ve found that this age thrives with hands-on projects, engaging stories, and real-world exploration.

This collection brings together our favourite activities, resources, and approaches that have sparked joy and deep learning in our home education journey. You’ll find everything from kitchen science experiments to creative writing prompts, math games, and project ideas that can be adapted for different learning styles and interests.

Remember, the beauty of home ed is following your child’s enthusiasm: these resources are here to inspire, not prescribe!
