All you really need in the way of supplies to help your child learn at home is a great stick and some sand to write in or a stub of pencil and a scrap of paper. – Add a library card and you’re good!
But if you enjoy teaching with hands-on manipulatives, using learning tools, incentives and great office supplies – we’ve got you covered! Browse below for fun hands-on materials to enhance your child’s learning at home.
Manipulatives are physical objects like blocks, magnetic letters, or counters that you can touch and move around to help you understand a lesson. Using hands-on items takes a different part of the brain, and helps a learner grasp new ideas more easily.

Chemistry sets.
Incentives, awards and rewards add a spark of fun to shake up routine, give small moments of joy, and provide a concrete picture of the progress being made toward goals. They give us a boost as we finish our work.
Incentives don’t have to be things, and don’t have to be purchased. Special time, an outing, an extra privilege like a later bedtime or a bit more screen time make great rewards.
For times when you want to spice things up with some hands-on incentives, awards and rewards, below you’ll find a variety of treats we’ve enjoyed using.
Office Supplies are great for organizing the learning space – and a special pen or notebook can add enjoyment to the learning day.
