10 DIY Potato Projects You Can Enjoy in Your Homeschool
We have recently released our Life Cycle of a Potato Unit Study, and Adventures in Ireland #1, which is all about the History of the Irish Potato, traditional recipes, and the beginning Adventure to start with when learning all about Ireland with kids! Because of these new releases, I have got potatoes on the brain, that’s for sure, and I wanted to share with you some fun ways you can use the potatoes in your house while using our Life Cycle of a Potato and Ireland learning resources in your homeschool or classroom!
What I love the most about using Potatoes in crafts, or other projects, is that they are so versatile, and you can bring them in for any season, or theme, or time of year. I have included some great seasonal craft ideas as well, so whenever you begin your #readpaintcook adventures in Ireland or dive into our Life Cycle of a Potato, you have some inspiration! And just so you know, we have loads of fun art projects found in our adventures in Ireland, on top of these optional ideas.
