Want something that brings a little beauty and breathing room back into your homeschool day? Culture & Craft by Jeannie Fulbright offers a gentle way to do just that!
This 28-week enrichment program helps elementary children grow in their appreciation for art, music, nature, and thoughtful living—not by rushing, but by slowing down and noticing the truth and beauty in the world around them. Along the way, they’ll listen to classical music, read poetry, try watercolor painting, explore nature journaling, and even practice simple, meaningful life skills like how to greet someone kindly, make eye contact, and use good table manners.
One of the things you’ll love most is how flexible this program is—you can follow it as a full 28-week plan or simply pick and choose the lessons that best fit your season. The core learning typically takes just 15-20 minutes, making it easy to fit into your day. Some hands-on lessons—like watercolor painting, nature journaling, or planting a small herb garden—will naturally take longer, but the step-by-step instructions keep things simple. A helpful supply list shows at-a-glance what materials are needed for each lesson, mostly basic art supplies and common household items.
Students will also need a Book of Centuries, a notebook journal, and a nature journal with watercolor paper for many lessons. Colorful pictures at the back of the book are designed to be cut out and added to the timeline as students complete lessons, creating a record of what they’ve learned along the way.
The Book is filled with beautiful, full-color artwork from masters like Rembrandt and Van Gogh, and QR codes throughout bring learning to life, linking to music, videos, tutorials, and curated Spotify playlists (including pieces like Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5). It’s a meaningful way to add creativity and connection to your homeschool without adding overwhelm! 80 pages, softcover.
