November is one of my favorite months to slow down, cozy up, and make beautiful memories with my kids. The air turns crisp, the leaves crunch under our feet, and our homeschool naturally takes on a gentler rhythm.
To help you make the most of this cozy season, I’ve created a free November Homeschool Activities Calendar! It’s filled with simple, seasonal ideas for every day of the month and easy activities that encourage learning, creativity, and connection without adding stress to your days.
A Month of Simple, Seasonal Learning
Each day includes one gentle activity, which is something you can easily fit into your homeschool rhythm or family life. You’ll find a mix of:
🍁 Nature study and outdoor exploration
📚 Cozy read-aloud and learning moments
🎨 Hands-on crafts and art projects
🍲 Simple kitchen and family activities
These ideas are meant to inspire you, not overwhelm you. You can follow the calendar day by day or simply pick and choose what works for your family!
