After watching my son struggle to focus at school I decided to withdraw him and jump into homeschool. I knew he understood The curriculum they were doing at school because he was also doing it at home with no problem. So when I had multiple conferences with his teacher about him not being able to do his school work I decided it was time to do it myself. We are now a year into homeschooling and he is thriving. Sometimes school can be overwhelming for kids and it's not natural for them to sit down for 7 to 8 hours. I focus on a lot of interactive learning and it works well for my 2-year-old and my 6-year-old. I have listed some products that have really been key opponents to thriving in our homeschool experience.

Everything is from Walmart + Target (so no endless scrolling a dozen websites), and I update this list each season to keep it fresh. Think of it as your shortcut to thoughtful, affordable gifting without the budget hangover.
This is a list of everything I got my son for Christmas last year. Everything was a hit 🙌 I also added some of the things on his wish list that he didn't get because it's always good to have some extra ideas!
