As homeschoolers, we thrive on rhythms, flexibility, and those special moments of connection with our children. This May, I wanted to bring something fun, simple, and joy-filled to the homeschooling community, so I created the May Homeschool Activities Calendar!
This printable calendar is packed with 31 creative, seasonal activities to celebrate spring, explore nature, and sneak in plenty of meaningful learning through play and discovery.
Why a Themed Homeschool Calendar?
Spring is a time of renewal, curiosity, and growth not just for our gardens, but for our children too. I designed this calendar to:
- Bring structure without rigidity
- Spark curiosity and creativity
- Offer hands-on ideas using simple materials
- Give moms a break from overplanning!
Each day in May features a fresh idea to inspire learning through nature, storytelling, art, science, or movement. You can follow it day-by-day or pick and choose your favorites.
Weekly Themes to Look Forward To
Here’s a peek at how the month flows:
Week 1: 🌿 Garden Explorers
Plant seeds, learn about soil, and write garden poetry!
Week 2: 🐞 Bug & Nature Detectives
Hunt for insects, explore life cycles, and build a bug hotel.
Week 3: 🎨 Celebrate & Create
Celebrate family, kindness, and creativity with art and storytelling.
Week 4: ☀️ Outdoor Explorers
Make maps, study clouds, track the weather, and run obstacle courses.
Final Days: 🌈 Reflect & Celebrate

What’s Included:
Along with the activity calendar, I’ve also created bonus printable sheets to make the month even easier for you:

Gentle Encouragement for You, Mama
This calendar isn’t about doing it all. It’s about noticing, connecting, and making sweet memories together even if you only do a few of the activities. Let it serve as an inspiration board more than a to-do list.
