Favorite Homeschooling Catalogs

Recommended Posts

I know, you can see everything online, but I love browsing the pages of a catalog. I'm new to homeschooling so I have just discovered the joy of homeschooling curriculum catalogs. So far the ones I have gotten are:

Home Science Tools - had to talk myself out of buying a rock pick for my five year old after browsing this one.

Timberdoodle - I have a Christmas wish list of all the cool extras

Dick Blick - if only my little guy had any interest at all in art

And I have a request in for Rainbow Resources but haven't gotten it yet.

 

What are your favorite catalogs for homeschool?

Sonlight

Veritas Press

Memoria Press

Classical Conversations (even though we don't participate in a group)

Timberdoodle

 

These aren't really homeschool related but I love them too:

Chinaberry

Fat Brain Toys

I found a new one from a Pinterest link.

http://www.nature-watch.com/

Amazing stuff to teach lots of the sciences, focusing on hands on projects rather than curriculum. I noticed their catalog doesn't include pricing for individual students, rather in lots of 25 or 100, but the website had everything I looked at where you could buy just one of the kits. I was flipping through their online catalog saying, "I want that...and that...and that..."

I can't wait for a hard copy so I can dog ear pages and circle things.

I love the Sonlight catalog!! So colorful and I love all the photos of the great books & photos of homeschoolers is really encouraging to me for some reason.

 

And the CBD (Christian Book Distributors) homeschool catalog! I love the little blurbs and descriptions about the homeschool curriculum. I think they send you one automatically if you order curriculum from them.

Veritas - great book ideas and they now match prices.

 

CBD- I like how they include so much variety.

 

Rainbow's Christmas Catalog- this has tons of good old fashions fun and very affordable too!

 

Timberdoodle used to be my favorite but not any more. Too gimmicky and expensive now. ?

 

Honestly, for homeschooling, the library has become such a major source of education for us and I use the Internet so much for book ideas (mostly the 1000 good books list) that catalogs just don't have the appeal anymore.

I love CBD Home school to see what is available. Andreola reviews are helpful too.

CBD Children's for gifts

 

I love Veritas to see Grade levels: Especially 6th-12th

 

I love Memoria Press for the articles

 

IEW has some good articles in their newsletter/ catalogs

 

And I like Sonlight for more book lists: especially K-6th

 

My Father's World has some good books listed too ( Patricia St. John's are loved in my house!)

 

Love To Learn for toys and games

 

Rainbow's site is easier for me than the huge catalog..especially now that it works better. I have made myself look through it a few times. I can't do that now.

Rainbow's Christmas catalog is good too. I just usually get it late.

 

I almost forgot Classical Conversations catalog and site.

The Moody books are great!

 

I usually make my list and order from some catalogs if there is free or low shipping.

 

Still, some of the best deals I have ever gotten were right here, FaceBook, and Amazon.com

Memoria Press, hands down. Great articles.

 

Rod and Staff, though I know their stuff inside and out, I still love to get the new one when it is time to order for the next year. No great articles or anything . I just love their product.

 

Sonlight. I like the pictures and stories of the real familes, though I don't use anything from it.
