Flip the script — let your child teach you something they loved learning this year! Whether it’s baking bread, explaining fractions, or a favorite science fact, this helps them retain knowledge and builds confidence.
6. Vision Board for Next Year
What do they want to learn next? Cut out pictures from magazines or draw their goals. It could be as simple as “learn to play guitar” or “build a volcano again.” It’s a creative way to look forward.
7. Cooking with a Learning Twist (Edukitchen-style!)
Cap off the year with a themed cooking day that ties into what you learned. Studied measurements? Bake cookies. Explored world cultures? Make a dish from another country. 🍲📏
