Free Lessons & Live Experiences for Kids: Science, Math, Stories & More
So many artists are currently offering free lessons, live readings, printables and experiences for kids. I have put together a list for parents to easily reference. You can usually watch them after if you miss the live. I have also embedded one sample video, whenever possible. I am going to continue to update this post as I discover new offerings, so please check back. I also have a post full of free and reasonable educational resources that has already helped thousands of parents. Also, please share this post on Instagram, Facebook, in parenting groups and email lists. I want to help as many families as possible.

Artist Wendy Macnaughton has a wonderful daily drawing show called #DrawTogether that she is offering on IG Live every day at 12 CST. (You might know her work from the popular Salt Acid Fat Heat cookbook.) Adeline did a lesson today at LOVED it. I listened in and Wendy’s teaching and delivery are delightful.
