This is a sponsored post for WeAreTeachers. Thanks to sponsors like Lysol and Messenger Kids for making this page possible.

There’s nothing easy about being at home right now but it’s even more difficult for curious kids who love learning about the world around them. Thankfully provides fresh age-appropriate content that is a welcome relief now that we’re a month into our stay at home orders.

Sponsored by Lysol, the Learning at Home site is packed with educational resources perfect for elementary ages. Parents and teachers of kids in grades K-5 will love diving into a rabbit hole of educational content vetted by teachers such as:

• Online learning games to practice language and math skills
• Tips on where to find online books and audio books for free
• The best age appropriate shows on Hulu, Disney+, and Netflix
• Easy arts and craft activities as well as kitchen science experiments
• Helpful advice for staying safe and healthy at home

To make it easy to find age appropriate activities, the Learning at Home resources pages has them sorted by grade level.

You can also find them sorted by subject area.

Or even by resource type!
