Interactive Learning

By sharing memories, passions, and everyday life experiences — from video games to car shows to yard work, dads can spark curiosity, model problem-solving, and teach values that last a lifetime.

Art is often the subject parents skip, but it’s more than a “nice-to-have.” In this post, I explore why teaching art matters, how it supports thinking and creativity, and how you can integrate meaningful lessons even on a busy homeschool schedule.

Botany doesn’t have to be intimidating or just a list of facts. In this post, I break down what kids really need to understand about plants, why it matters, and how hands-on learning makes the science stick.

Copying teaches technique—but it’s not the same as finding your voice. In this post, I explore the difference between imitation and expression, and why helping kids discover their own style matters more than we think.

Make plant science hands-on, engaging, and academically meaningful. This botany workbook for grades 5–12 teaches real science skills while giving students space to explore, observe, and reflect — perfect for multi-age homeschool settings.

Stop feeling like art is just a “fun break.” This full-year art curriculum teaches real skills while fostering creativity, observation, and confidence — all designed for homeschoolers of multiple ages and abilities.

I didn’t set out to write a curriculum—I set out to give kids a way to really see. This art book grew from years of teaching, parenting, and watching students come alive when given space to create with meaning, not just mimic a project.

I didn’t write our botany book for perfect students—I wrote it for real kids. The curious ones. The distracted ones. The ones who ask weird questions and collect seed pods in their pockets. This is why hands-on, story-rich science matters, and how it changed the way I teach.
