I love to repurpose items because I enjoy creating new uses for things and it is budget friendly as well! Here is a list of 70 items you most likely have at home that you can use to enhance your homeschool experience. The items are divided into categories for dramatic or pretend play, math, literacy, crafts, storage, science, sensory, and block area. If you have any suggestions, feel free to add to this list!
