Want to do more creative activities in your homeschool, but not sure where to start?
My kids and I created a 30-day family creative challenge when our art and craft supplies were gathering dust, and it was just what we needed.
We chose a Skillshare lesson a day. And each day, we painted, drew, baked, photographed, or folded. (Origami, if that last one had you scratching your head).
It had a huge effect. We finished the challenge, but kept on creating.
And we did it as a group – over 250 families joined us from all over the world, shared pics on Instagram and had a great time creating together.
Because it was so incredibly positive for everyone we turned it into a challenge you can do anytime.
Simply sign up, join Skillshare’s free trial, and get started. You’ll get a full schedule with direct links, a supplies list, and weekly emails to help keep you on track.
So if you and your kids want to make creativity a habit and learn lots of new skills, sign up – it’s free!
Share it with your friends, let’s get as many families as we can creating!
You can check out all the shares on Instagram by checking out the #familycreativechallenge hashtag – or keep scrolling past the FAQ for fantastic finished examples of the activities we did.
FAQs
Q. Do I need to pay for Skillshare?
A. You can sign up for a free 2-month trial, which will cover our challenge. You do need to enter payment details for the trial. If you decide not to continue on simply cancel your trial.
Q. Do I have to do all 30 days?
A. Nope. We’re going for progress, not perfection. If you miss a day just jump back in the next day and carry on.
Q. Do I have to be on Instagram?
A. No. You’ll get all the details you need via email. If you want to share your results just reply with your photo and details and I’ll post them here for you!
Q. Do I have to be part of a family?
A. You can definitely do this by yourself if you live solo or if your family isn’t interested. I imagine it would be much more relaxing.
