Minimalist Ideas for special & fun Spring Break 2025 in The Woodlands

simple spring break
You don’t have to engage in ALL the crazy-cool happenings going on around town to have a wonderful, meaningful time with your family this season. Perhaps you prefer a more laid-back approach. Maybe you don’t have a partner to help you corral a couple of rowdy kids through a sea of other families. You could be low on cash, low on energy, or both. Or even more, maybe your idea of fun is just a slower paced, quieter time connecting with your child.

7 Poetry Books you and your kids will LOVE

IMG 7227
Poetry is so much fun to read with kids! My family did a weekly poetry tea time for the longest, then we took a long summer break, and now the kids are requesting it again. This month we'll be starting a poetry "hot cocoa" time, to change things up a bit.
 
Do your kids like poems?

  • Poetry doesn't take a long time to read, so you can start and finish multiple poems in one sitting.
  • Poetry can provide comfort, improving your child's mental health.
  • Poetry can also improve your child's vocabulary.
  • Poetry can give your child a new perspective on the world and help with creative thinking.
  • Some poems can make you laugh out loud, which is always a welcome treat.
Throughout our years of homeschooling, my kids have memorized dozens of poems. Memorywork is just one of those curriculum ideas that I never took off the schedule, even as my oldest girls advanced into high school. How nostalgic it is for them to recite an old poem from memory - at the drop of a hat. It's an especially useful skill when we get a Tornado Warning alert, and we all have to pile into the same closet for safety.
 
Here are some old and newer favorite poetry books to add your your family's collection (affiliate links included):
