Health and Wellness Resources for Homeschoolers
As a homeschooling mom and a holistic wellness teacher, one of my passions is to share my love of natural health with my children.
There are many incredible resources available today for homeschooling families, but one of the subjects that I’ve had a harder time finding exceptional and suitable resources for is health and wellness.
Thus I wanted to put together a list of a few of our favorite books, games, and references to help parents and children explore the world of anatomy, biology, nutrition, fitness, botany, herbs, and health.
Whether you are a homeschooler, or just desiring to inspire your children’s or grandchildren’s love of wellness, investing in kid’s health education has life-long benefits.

Games are a great way to have fun while learning about all kinds of subjects. There are an incredible amount of games available for almost every subject. Here’s a few beautiful games to enjoy while learning about herbs, botany, mycology, and biology.
Gardening Activity Kits
The best way to learn about biology, botany, and mycology is to get hands-on with watching the growing process and getting to enjoy the fruits of one’s own labor. These activity kits will get kids excited about vegetables, greens, and mushrooms!
Cookbooks for Youth
One of the best ways to set our children up for lifelong health and vitality is to teach them how to find, prepare, and enjoy delicious healthy food. Cooking is a great learning experience for children that involves reading, comprehension, formulas, math, science, and activates all the senses.

There are so many ways to incorporate learning about health into your child’s life and education, whether they are passionate about cooking, gardening, sports, outdoors, or gaming.
