Need inspiration for homeschooling kindergarten? Don’t miss the Build Your Bundle KINDERGARTEN Edition May 25, 2015 through June 1, 2015.
Kindergarten in our family is more about participating in what is already happening, learning a few basics, and having fun than following a rigid formatted curriculum. Our kindergarten homeschool curriculum consists of easy books, apps, printables, workbooks, and educational toys.
Our kindergarten studies tend to be thematic, either built around a holiday, letter, number, or shape. I organize the lessons for an entire year using file folders with one folder for each school day.
Easy Books for Kindergarten
- My First BOB Books: Pre-Reading Skills
- The Very Hungry Caterpillar
- Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
- Green Eggs and Ham (I Can Read It All by Myself)

Apps for Kindergarten
My children love having school time on the iPad, and honestly… it gives me time to focus on the older kids. So, I try to stock my iPad with fun and educational games.
- Motion Math: Hungry Guppy – Motion Math
- ABC Letter Toy – Letters & Numbers Handwriting Game for Kids – song zengqi
- Hooked on Phonics Learn to Read Classroom Edition – Hooked on Phonics
- MiniSchool – Divine ApS
Printables for Kindergarten
When the older children are working through a book or unit study and I can incorporate a similar theme for my younger children, I will create a Prek-K printable pack. All of these packs are available for free inside the Premium Member’s Library. You can get the membership for $25.

Workbooks for Kindergarten
You could spend a ton of money on workbooks for your kindergartener, but I tend to stick to those we find at the Dollar Tree. I take the books apart and stick the pages into the lesson file folders, following whatever letter or theme I have already placed together.
In addition to those workbooks I pick up from a dollar store, I create workbooks from the printable pages at Education.com. I also purchase Brain Quest Workbook: Kindergarten
Educational Toys for Kindergarten
We have tons of educational toys… and I do mean tons. I think I am more addicted to buying learning toys than I am curriculum. These are just a few of our favorites.
