Want to do more creative activities in your homeschool, but not sure where to start?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We chose a Skillshare<\/a> lesson a day. And each day, we painted, drew, baked, photographed, or folded. (Origami, if that last one had you scratching your head).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It had a huge effect. We finished the challenge, but kept on creating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we did it as a group – over 250 families joined us from all over the world, shared pics on Instagram<\/a> and had a great time creating together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because it was so incredibly positive for everyone we turned it into a challenge you can do anytime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply sign up, join Skillshare’s free trial<\/a>, and get started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

See below for your list of 30 creative activities – just click on the title of each to be taken directly to the lesson!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Q. Do I need to pay for Skillshare?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A. You can sign up for a free 1-month trial<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. Do I have to do all 30 days?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A. Nope. We’re going for progress, not perfection. If you miss a day just jump back in the next day and carry on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. Do I have to be part of a family?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 than managing a horde of children \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n
