I used the drawing with children book in a very basic way. Pretty much skimmed the first sections and focused on the elements of shape,and some of the bird drawing exercises. It changed my life. Seriously, I just needed to be shown a way to see what feels complicated in a simple way.
Drawing with marker instead of pencil was a big deal. Lastly, I had to immediately show someone my work whether I liked it or not….just to kill my fear and pride issues. My stuff is not noteworthy by any means, but I finally like it and that has really changed me.
Now, I’ve gained the confidence to start a nature journal. :)
I need to try thrift books! I am just loving your new channel! ❤️
Thank you so much!! 💗
We love Story of the World. My favorite history is Beautiful Feet Books or pulling resources myself, but this my youngest did Story of the World with her cousins once a week, and it was so sweet to do together! Looks like a great stack of books! What a sweet thing to do a giveaway! There's a few out of print books that have been on my wishlist for a while (like the Cranberry series)! I'd probably add those to our home library.
Beautiful Feet Books seems like it would be right up my alley!
Oh man! I just splurged on a few of these book hauls! Thank you! I am totally going to keep my eyes peeled for some of these awesome Bible resources and other great recs!
I found the same copy of the book of virtues at my local thrift store and have bought other books that I already own because I feel like a good book is worth having multiple copies in the event that I meet someone I’d like to gift it to. Or if you want to keep a copy to use in your decor. 😄
Welcome to the amazing life of homeschooling! I have so many of these great books already and you are going to love them. I would love the book Drawing with Children since I'm working on adding more art to our homeschool. ❤📖
Thank you! It’s been a wonderful journey so far!
I love ThriftBooks! Great selections at good prices. I’ll have to look into The Book of Virtues. I’ve been a homeschool mom for 14 years and so thankful for all the time I get to spend with my kiddos.
The time together is such a blessing!
Drawing with children is in my wishlist right now. Definitely going to get the drawing with shapes and circles for my daughter.
It's a great little book!
All of them...all the books! 😆😂 I took a number of screenshots for books you were showing that I was like “ooooh I want that one” 🤣
That’s me watching videos like this too. 😂
So happy to see someone else that
loves books and deals!!! Also just wrapping up our first year of homeschooling with 3 kids (13, 11, and 6). Thank you for sharing you finds and enthusiasm. Would love love love visual dictionary of ancient civilizations or the story of the world books as we are planning for world history next year. Many blessings to you and your family.
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it. Blessings to your family as well!
Great haul! I love Thriftbooks as well. We recently got the book "Material World: A Global Family Portrait" and I highly recommend it. It would go great when you're studying how people in other areas live as it has pictures of families around the world with all of their belongings set out to be included in the photo. It's beautiful! Also, if you don't end up thinking Story of the World is going to work, we use History Quest and LOVE it! It is also more of a story-telling curriculum and the study guide is full of fun projects (we recently made a mummified apple in our study of Ancient Egypt).
Oh! And for music lessons, if you have a Let's Play Music teacher in your area it is a FANTASTIC program. It's a 3-year program (first year kids can be between the ages of 4-6 but some teachers may make exceptions for a 7 year old). My 7 year old completed the program and now composes her own songs on the piano and knows high school level theory. My 5 year old is just finishing up year two. They teach music through play and it really internalizes the concepts.
Thanks for all the great recommendations! Material World is on my wishlist, and I heard about History Quest in the past month or so and have been really intrigued by it! I haven’t heard of that music class, but that sounds awesome!
Such a great haul. We love any and all books but are most excited for some new nature books for the summer.
You can never have too many nature books!
📚I love books too! And I love getting them at a great deal. I love the Usborne and DK books too! Can I just say, “ I want them all.” I’m so excited to have found your channel. Looking forward to more videos!!
Excited to have you here! 🥰 And I LOVE a good deal!
Those nature and animal books look so fun! We get library books according to the unit study we are currently doing. We just finished US History 1 from gather round and starting Oceans on Monday! My kids have a whole bunch of topics they want to learn about this summer, so I ended up buying reference books to encourage their learning and to use with fun-schooling journals on Fridays and during summer: Fortnite, Space, Dogs, Birds, Seaside Science, Surivival, U.S. History, Cooking, Animals! It’s funny, I was never a book person until I started homeschooling this year and now I want all the children books, especially DK, Nat Geo and Usborne! 😂
Same! Homeschool books have been a whole new obsession!
We have the children’s book of virtues which is smaller but we love the pictures.
Next on my list to read is honey for a child’s heart.
Usborne and DK has so many great books. I love that you thrift for them too. Definitely loving all your book picks.
We have that one, as well!
I've being eyeing those Story of the World books!
I think my kids would love them.
I know so many people love them! I'm glad to have my hands on them to really see if I think it would work well for us. There are a couple of other history curriculums that have caught my eye as well though.
We love story of the world too and the activities book has some great ideas in it and coloring pages. 📚
That’s nice that there’s an activity book so you’re ready to go!
Oooo! The Usbourne field guide looks perfect! I have the daily nature book. I forgot about it. I need to pull it out and put it to use. Thanks for the video! ❤
I am super happy with that field guide!
I LOVE books too. I have a huge wishlist of books. The Book of Virtues is on it.
I just got my first book haul in for next year too! That 365 days of nature book looks great!
I’m excited to use it!
I love Usborne books and am a consultant as well. Love your book haul!!! I have an older kindergartner and we are going to do geography/maps/culture/around the world stories this year. I'm super excited about doing this with my son (mostly creating it own on my own with books) and curious what you are doing with your youngest.
I would love to see what other books you have as I think we have similar tastes 🤪Anyway, love all books as well, and especially would love the map books and nature books!!! All the books📚! Thanks for this video.
I am doing something very similar with my two girls! I’m excited to learn together as a family.
My mom just thrifted the book of virtues for me and I’m so excited to get my hands on it! I also try to thrift or buy used for books as much as i can. All. The. Books. 📚
Yay for books!!
Thank you for sharing. Loved it all.
📚 great finds!! I love DKbooks also, they are super informative and engaging. I buy all my books on thriftbooks or ebay....it just saves so much money. Thanks for sharing!
Yes! Buying used when possible definitely saves us some cash and is better for the environment. Win-win!
📚 this year the books that have made it to my list are our personal heritage books. my children are half Cambodian and half Scott Irish so we’re diving deep into learning about our different cultures and heritage for them this year!! 😊😀😀
Oh, I love that!!
Btw your personality and smile is infectious! How can ai be grumpy watching you 🥰🤣
You’re so sweet! Thank you! 🥰
Oh my, I want so many of those books! We are starting SOTW this fall. I can’t wait!
Hope y’all enjoy it!
I’m such a bookaholic! This is a great list! I have several of these, but that Ken Ludwig book is one I NEED! He was on the Read Aloud Revival podcast and it was excellent (episode 171). I’m also going to need to pick up the Nature Spotter’s Guide, the DK animals (although, maybe I already have it?), the daily nature one and the drawing with shapes. Oh, and the DK Ancient Civilizations. Our community will be focused on the ancient world next year, so that would come in sooooo handy!
I’m so excited to dig into the Ken Ludwig book! I will definitely have to listen to that podcast!
I get the biggest thrill finding Usborne books ar thrift stores! My most proud homeschool book thrift find is The Big Book of Bugs. I was so excited.
That’s a fantastic find!!
📚I am so happy you started this channel! I have followed you since mommy archive days:) I homeschool and I am crazy about books as well. I love to borrow from the library and find books at Salvation Army. There are so many good books you introduced me to today. I am definitely going to be searching for them lol A couple I thought I would try to find are People and Honey for a Child’s Heart!
So glad to have you over here on this channel! I appreciate your support so much! Books are so fun to explore. I love when I find a great deal on one that I’ve been searching for!
You won the giveaway!! 🎉 Please give me your email or Instagram account to reach out to. 😁
I love to get the DK Encyclopedia of Animals ❤️❤️ My Nephew loves animals so much!! Also, done following on ig ✨❤️ So excited for this giveaway, can’t wait 💖Stay safe always and stay generous. Lovelots 💞
I would love the Atlas of the World! We are new homeschoolers from the pandemic as well. And I love it!
So glad you're loving it! It's been such an unexpected surprise for us!
📚
Currently have probably over 100 books on my wishlist 😭
Trying to be conservative and have a game plan of what to buy for when and not get too ahead of myself. Luckily we have a good library system however we have a lot of homeschoolers so I already had an issue trying to get some books last year so I’m definitely going to be buying a lot of Native American/American History books for our library.
Girl, my wishlist is perpetually growing, haha! We have a great library system too, but some books really are just great to have on hand at any time, especially if they tie into your curriculum. I do take full advantage of our library though!
We are big fans of Usborne and DK books as well! The book I will be adding to my list is “Drawing Shape by Shape” for my 5 year old. She is a big art lover. My 7 year old would love any of the animal books. Thanks for the inspiration!
Those two publishers are just so fantastic!
I just found your channel and can very much relate to you as a person. I LOVE LOVE LOVE books! Especially if I can find bargain books ( Friends of the Library, anyone?). This video gave me some more books to add to my list of things to keep an eye out for. Love it!
I’m so glad to have you here! I’ve loved being able to connect with like-minded mama here. 💕
My wishlist is so long! Christian Heroes then and now books are at the top, then several from Book Outlet and Usborne!
My wishlist is definitely ever-growing!
Thriftbooks is my favorite! I put 6 books from your video in my cart including the encyclopedia of animals and the drawing books.
My ThriftBooks wishlist is perpetually growing!
@@TheHomeschoolConvert The number of items on my wishlist surprises me every time I see it. Lol
Yayy! I have my eyes out for a few nature resource books 🙂
Those are always on my radar!
The Ancient Civilizations DK book looks amazing...and I've already purchased 4 of the books you've mentioned from ThriftBooks while watching this. I order from them more than I do from any other place :)
Hope you love them all! I'm constantly adding books to my wishlist when I watch videos like this!
Love your channel!! The story of the world, is on my shopping list!😊
Thank you! 🥰
Love your channel. I have been looking for the seven continents of the world book. So if thriftbooks has that I would definitely purchase it. Thanks for your videos.
It’s such a fun book!
Loved all these recommendations! I am interested in the usborne nature guide. Never considered searching for used Usborne books but I shop ThriftBooks all the time and will start searching for some! 📚
I’ve scored some great deals buying Usborne books secondhand!
Great haul! Its funny, right before I started watching your video, I was looking at William Bennett's The Book of Virtues. I found his children's version for a quarter but would like to find that version as well. And at 99 cents, that's a steal!
I definitely didn’t feel bad picking up a second copy for that price, haha!
I think it's a great idea of Introducing Shakespeare at the young age. And the Usborne Stories from Shakespeare looks awesome for that! Thanks for sharing.
I LOVE thriftbooks! I have a continual wishlist to build our home library.
I am most excited to buy some more of the "Christian Nature Readers" or some of the books by Thorton Burgess!!
I’m always adding books to my wishlist too!
If you didn't know they have a "Children's Book of Virtues" too that is awesome! We use it with out daughter and I had it as a kid.
Yes, we have it too, thanks! 😁
I have been wanting to get The Story of the World and to pick up some of the DK books.
We will be adding Children’s Book of Virtues in our morning time this year. I found my copy at a yard sale along with other great finds. I would love to find the Usborne nature books you shared. 📚❤️ My husband thinks I am a book hoarder. 🤷🏻♀️
My husband is asking where we’re going to put more books as we buy them. I told him I guess we’ll have to buy more shelves. 🤷♀️ 😂
@@TheHomeschoolConvert 😆 The same thing I say.
I really want to get a dk book ! Most likely the animal one ! I love 📚! The books on my wish list is the poem sing of song of season ! I’ve seen a lot of homeschool moms getting that one and I love poems, corrie ten boom had such beautiful poems
I just borrowed Sing a Song of Seasons from the library to see if we’d like to purchase it and add it to our collection! We love poetry, as well.
I definitely have a large wishlist on thrift books so I would order a couple of those for sure. I love to look through that site. I also followed you on Instagram ❤️
I’m always adding to my ThriftBooks wishlist!
Love ur book choices. You have so many great ones it’s hard to pick a favorite. Story of the world has been on my list for a while.
Every time I go to the library I’m finding more that I want to add to my personal collection!
I would love to read the Usborne Spotter's Guide to Nature because whenever I spot a bird or a plant in nature, I had to click a picture or search on the internet by describing it's features and that is not a wonderful experience. Even though this book won't contain everything but I believe it would be a wonderful book for a nature lover. I also loved the Encyclopedia of Animals because who doesn't loves encyclopedias.
"I'm excited about every book" That's me. All me. Right now we're relishing the picture book/storybook stage of life with my littles, but I'm thinking in investing in some more nonfiction books in the non-too-distant future! :)
Do y’all have a favorite? I know it’s so hard to choose! We read tons of story books too, mostly from the library.
📚 I have been on a book buying frenzy. Just got the Mapmaker Chronicle series for my soon to be 12 yr old and the Pet Vet series for my soon to be 6 yr old from Usborne. I definitely want to expand my reference section. Love DK publishing as well.
There are just so many great books out there!
I enjoyed seeing your finds! We have the illustrated version of Book of Virtues. My son loves it! I may have to get the mega book too. lol I’m interested in Children’s Book of the Bible. It reminds me of a children’s version of Rose Publishing books (which I love!)
Does the Usborne Nature book have American birds and plants, or UK?
We have Usborne’s Complete Illustrated Stories of Shakespeare and I love it! We only read the first two so far (both comedies) and we enjoyed them. It has a two-page layout of the characters before each play, which I flip back to a LOT while reading! lol I want to get the Shakespeare trivia game by Simply Fun.
I think the Usborne nature book probably has versions for both US and UK depending on the country you’re purchasing from.
I love finding read alouds for my kids. I’m always on the hunt for books to add to our homeschool shelf. The Children’s Book of the Bible looks beautiful!
Same here! I’m going to need more shelf space very soon!
I would love the Drawing with children book...my daughter is now super interested in art! I also followed you over on instagram! Thanks for doing this giveaway, I've been meaning to try out thrift books! 📚
Good luck! 😁
If you use The Story of the World, please buy the Activitiy books that accompany those books! Keep in mind that I don’t love history and my kids love hands on things. The activity book and the audio version of the books you have has made history SOOO easy for me! There’s a coloring page and a map that comes with every lesson as well as even more hands on activities and book recommendations with every lesson in the Activity Book. My kids color the coordinating page while they listen to the lesson, then I ask them the suggested questions to make sure they understood the lesson/we’re paying attention, next we do the map activity! It’s SOOO easy! Can you tell I’m a fan of the Activity book for Story of the World? 😜
Haha! Thanks so much for the insight!
Just found your channel. Great video! We are relatively new to homeschooling and I would love to figure out how to regularly use the Virtues book.
Welcome, and thank you! I'm glad to have you here! I plan to use the Virtues book as part of our character/habits study, but it'll definitely be new territory for me!
We've been enjoying Story of the World Vol. 2 this year! I definitely want to get the Children's Book of Virtues :)
That’s good to hear!
📚 We LOVE Usborne too! The Bible reference you have looks great. I'm hoping to get my hands on another homeschool mama classic- Mother Culture!!
I need to look into that one!
Great books haul 📚. I would like to purchase some animals and history books for my son. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching! 💕
We love the encyclopedia of animals!! We would also love the art books you have chosen! Great picks!
I’m so happy to finally have it in my collection!
The book of virtues book, the DK animal encyclopedia book and the teaching your children Shakespeare book all look great. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
All of the nature books look amazing! And, no, you can never have too many nature books!
Right?! I think so too!
So many amazing books!! 📚 I’d love to get some more encyclopedias like the DK books
Yes, love living books! Looking to get the Julia Rothman anatomy books this year!
I’ve been considering those, as well!
This is a great list! Particularly the Shakespeare books. I've been having discussions with my homeschool mom friends about how to approach it with young children and I'll be definitely checking these out! Thanks for the research! 😉💕
I’m so glad it was helpful! 💕
We started homeschooling this last year too and fell in love as well.
It's been such a wonderful, unexpected blessing!
I have been wanting to get the “over and under the rainforest” by Kate Messner ANd OMG! While checking Amazon for this book I just saw she is releasing a new one called “over and under the canyon” SO EXCITED 😆
Those both sound awesome!
@@TheHomeschoolConvert i love the over and under series!
I think my kids would really enjoy books about different people in different time periods. And Story of the World is something I’m interested in.
Just put the book of virtues in my Amazon cart! I’ve been meaning to order it, thanks for the reminder 😜
Haha, you’re welcome! 😉
I think my kids would love the Nature Detective book. My kids loves exploring under rocks and in dirt. Also Usbourne is a totally win 😁👍
I think we’re going to have a lot of fun with that one!
I’m so intrigued by the Story of the World. My oldest is only in kindergarten, but I kind of want to get it and read it for myself 😆
We’ve been doing American history this year, but I just checked out volume four from the library to include the last few weeks of the school year and give it a try!
We are using volume 1 with my 7 and 5 yo and they love it. Definitely get the activity book because there are so many great ideas for enrichment. They also give reference books and literature to read along side it!
Great choices. You might also like 'Tis the Season for Poetry: Through the year with poems and activities for children and their families.
📚 yaaay! I enjoy your videos so much! I'm super interested in A child's book of virtues and The children's book of heros
Thanks for continuing to watch! 🥰 We have both of those books on our book shelf!
The world map from 20 centuries looks amazing!
It’s so intriguing!
I always love seeing what people love reading! My boys really enjoy read aloud time.
Read aloud revival has such good recommendations and I’m trying to push myself to do more wordless books like the red bag.
Also, I thought the book of virtues was a really small book! I guess I was wrong.
There The Children’s Book of Virtues, which is much smaller. Perhaps you’re thinking of that? And I don’t know why, but I find wordless books intimidating, haha!
@@TheHomeschoolConvert yes! Me too. So Sarah McKenzie at the Read aloud Revival (you can find her podcast) tells you all about how to “read” those to kids.
I also suggest her episode on What happens to the brain when you read to children.
Thanks for the recommendations!
I have a big wishlist on thriftbooks so I would order something off of it or a DK or Usborne book. I love those two publishers.
They are so great!
I would like to get the children's book of the Bible and the story of the world books to check it out. Also several of the nature books you showed! I need to find a good used book store near me.
I’ve even found some great things just at thrift stores!
The Story of the World has been on my wish list for a while. So many great books!
I know so many people love SOTW! I was so happy to find the first two volumes for a great price!
Book of virtuous sounds like something we will enjoy in our homeschooling :)
I love the kids nature book!!! So cool that it’s literally 365 days of ideas.
I thought that was so neat too!
Oooo, I need to add the "People" book to my list ♡
I’m excited to have it in our collection!
Added The Children's Nature Book to my thrift books cart! :)
The Shakespeare ex-library book is from my local library! What a coincidence!
Too funny!!
We are in search of a great nature study book! We LOVE Thrift Books!
I would like the book of virtues I have heard it is great!
As a book lover myself, I really enjoyed this video but I do want to say that you really need to put in a warning before you show a close up of a big spider illustration 😂 I’m going to have nightmares now! (I’m joking of course, it was a great video!)
Hahaha!! Note taken. 😉😂
Spotters Guide to Nature or Kids Nature Book! We have recently become a travel trailer/camping family and love talking with my boys about the plants and animals we have encountered so far. I enjoy incorporating nature hikes into our homeschool when on the road at various parks and campgrounds.
We are looking into getting a camping trailer at some point on the future!
📚
Another nature style book to add to your arsenal is a local field guide for birds, plants, and animals. Slowly you begin to be able to recognize things and they become lifelong friends. ❤
Great tip!
I honestly have so many i wouldn't know what to choose. But I'm sure it will be something to do with homeschool and maybe a book im missing in my Trixie Belden Mysteries lol
My wishlist is always growing!
Which book would I like???? Can I answer ALL???? Talk about a Sophie's choice!!! Okay maybe two choices???😂 We just started memorizing catechism so Training Hearts, Teaching Minds would be fantastic OR Honey for a Child's Heart. Don't disqualify me because I picked two titles. You made it reaaalllllly hard to pick ONE!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha!!! Pick them ALL, mama!!
i homeschool my granddaighter who is in Kinder. She would love any books about geography...that girl loves maps ❤
My fascination with geography has really grown this year!
Any advice for pre-K? I’m excited for the sharing nature with children book. My daughter will love that one. One of our favorite things to do, outdoor adventures.
We did pre-k pretty gently. I mainly focused on learning the alphabet, the main letter sounds, and numbers. Rowan does our morning time with us as well and has learned so much just from us all reading books together.
@@TheHomeschoolConvert Thank you for the advice. We do enjoy our alphabet flash cards and reading books daily. Did you start activities that encourage writing skills? We do a fair amount of coloring and art.
We did do some handwriting practice. I have a video reviewing all the curriculum we used this year if you’d like to check that out! It covers all the resources we used for pre-k. 😁
@@TheHomeschoolConvert Fantastic, I’ll check it out. Thank you
DK is wonderful!!! I loved!!!
Their books are so great!
I love that People book by Peter Spier!
It’s great!
Hahhaha! I love the double copies of the virtues book!
I couldn’t help myself. 😂
📚 I'm obsessed with books too! It's a problem but a good one!
There could definitely be worse obsessions, haha!
Also wanted to share with you a gem of a find for nature journaling...John Muir Laws has a series of youtube videos sharing his knowledge, experience and tips. His books are amazing!!! Planning to incorporate this into nature journaling unit studies. Thinking about watching the beginning intro videos with the kids, as my kids are HUGE fans of his work. Hope this interests you 😊
That sounds fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing! I’ll definitely be looking into that.
