Homework is inevitable. Whether you are a homeschooling family or a traditional school family. Homework is essential part of childhood schooling! Growing up we did homework on our beds or the kitchen table. It was sufficient, but I think a dedicated area for homework, like a Homework Station, can help in so many ways.
Homework stations are helpful for kids because:
- It will help kids focus on the homework in front of them, free of distractions.
- It’s hopefully quiet.
- It gives the child a space to spread his work out for optimum studying space.
- Supplies will have direct access. This is essential to not wasting time.
- It helps promote concentration and alertness.
We don’t have a specific location for homework yet because our kids are not in school yet. BUT they are going to be really soon. We’ve been researching homework stations and finding exactly how we want to set ours up. We know that organizing supplies can be super helpful for kids. Our Art Supplies Cart has been a testament to this! Having all of our supplies in one location helps save time and increases our children’s creativity. It can be seen as a portable homework station.
