But here’s the truth I’ve learned after parenting a 12-year-old and a 6-year-old through countless holiday seasons: you don’t need a ton of fancy craft supplies to make meaningful, memorable Christmas crafts with your kids. This year, I’ve embraced the simple, the easy, and the “we already have it at home” projects. These are DIY crafts that: Keep kids entertained without screens Use materials you already have around the house Encourage creativity and imagination Provide decorations or gifts that actually mean something I’m sharing my favorite DIY Christmas crafts that my kids and I have made together — simple projects, minimal prep, and maximum holiday magic.

By Nancy ~

Hi and welcome to my little corner of the internet! I’m so excited you’re here.

My name is Nancy, and I’m a homeschooling mama of two amazing kids — one in middle school and one just starting the early learning journey. We learn, create, explore, and grow together every single day. Cleverly Kindred was born from my love of all things home, education, and creativity.

This blog is where I’ll be sharing practical ideas, homeschool printables, family activities, and creative tools to make your days a little easier and a lot more joyful.

Whether you’re a homeschool parent looking for simple unit studies, printable planners, fun worksheets, or just a bit of encouragement along the way — you’re in the right place.

I also run a printable shop filled with digital resources made with love, from homeschool planners and alphabet tracing sets to seasonal activities and motivational cards for kids. Everything I share here is designed to support families who are doing things a little differently — who want flexibility, connection, and creativity in their home and homeschool life.

Here’s what you can expect from Cleverly Kindred:

  • Easy and fun homeschool ideas

  • Creative learning printables

  • Family organization tips

  • Behind-the-scenes of running a small digital shop

  • Encouragement and real-life experiences from our homeschool journey

If you're anything like me — trying to juggle learning at home, a love for creating, and running a household — I hope you’ll find inspiration, community, and useful tools here.

Thanks so much for being here! Make sure to subscribe and stick around — I can’t wait to share what’s coming next.

💕 With love,

Nancy at Cleverly Kindred ❤️

I’ll walk you through what our mornings typically look like, how we incorporate morning baskets and quiet time, and provide sample schedules for various age...
