This homeschool planning pack is designed to help you plan your March homeschool activities for kids ages 5-10. Printables, books, activities, and more.
Spring is just around the corner, and I am looking forward to having fun with some outdoor activities this month. There’s much to celebrate!
As with January’s list and February’s, I’ve compiled a list of fun resources and created a brand new printable for you to celebrate all month long!
What will you and your kids celebrate this month?
March Homeschool Activities
The more fun you can add to your child’s educational experience, the more they’ll enjoy it and stay engaged as you inspire a love of learning.
March is National Peanut Month.
Have you ever tried to make peanut butter with your kids? If you don’t have peanut allergies in your family, this is a fun activity. (Click the link above, and scroll down for instructions.) It’s also a great time to teach your kids about George Washington Carver.
March 1 is National Pig Day. I always wanted a pot-bellied pig when I was growing up. I don’t anymore, but I still think pigs are super cute!
- Watch Charlotte’s Web
, or start reading it aloud
.
- Little ones may enjoy making a pig from a paper plate and an egg carton.
- If it’s warm where you live, or you don’t mind a little mess, you could create a Pigs in the Mud sensory bin for your littles to explore.
March 3 is National Anthem Day. Learn about the origin of our national anthem, The Star Spangled Banner. Learn a little about the life of Francis Scott Key and the War of 1812. Color a picture of the American Flag to display. I’ve also included 4 different copywork pages.
March 10 is Popcorn Lover’s Day. My teenager thinks every day is Popcorn Lover’s Day. That boy can eat a whole bag of popcorn by himself, and he does. Frequently. Popcorn is a compound word – two smaller words that come together to form a new word. Enjoy some popcorn today while you let your little one practice forming compound words with the pages in this month’s printable pack.
March 11 is Johnny Appleseed Day. Read about Johnny Appleseed. Print out my free Johnny Appleseed printable or this apple printable for your kids to enjoy.
March 12 is Plant a Flower Day. I just love spring with all its beautiful spring blossoms. Em and I love to plant seeds and check them daily for growth.
Today would be the perfect day to start studying plants and seeds and flowers. Your kids may enjoy:
- Dissect a flower to explore all of its parts.
- Plant seeds with your young kids.
- These paper plate gardens are fun for preschoolers.
- Make a 3D model of the parts of a flower.
March 14 is Learn About Butterflies Day. One of our favorite spring-time science studies is butterflies. Several times, we have ordered butterfly kits
- Here’s a whole unit study based on butterflies complete with hands-on activities.
- Make a life cycle of a butterfly necklace.
- Here’s a fun idea for an edible life cycle of a butterfly.
- This life cycle of a butterfly craft will help little ones see how caterpillars become butterflies. Spring is one of my most favorite times of year.
- This printable features activities that focus on life cycle of a butterfly for kids. 16 exciting activities!
March 17 is St. Patrick’s Day. Enjoy these fun St. Patrick’s Day printable activities!
March 27 is Easter Sunday! I love shopping for new Easter dresses and hiding Easter eggs. Emma always loves when the Easter Bunny hides her basket and sends her on a scavenger hunt for it. But, we also like to read the Bible and remember the real meaning of Easter.
More fun dates to celebrate include:
- March 14 is National Potato Chip Day
- March 15 is Incredible Kid Day.
- March 22 is National Goof Off Day.
- March 25 is Waffle Day.
- March 30 is Take a Walk in the Park Day.

I’m sorry, but *everyday* is peanut day at our home! Butterfly day, waffles day, popcorn lovers & potato chip day? Are other months so fun filled too? Tweeting & pinning to the Practical Mondays board 🙂
Great tips and downloads! Even though my children are grown and gone, still enjoyed reading this!
Thank you!
Aren’t these silly holidays so much fun!
Ha Ha! We do love our peanut butter here… and potato chips! Yes! Every month is just as fun. I’ll be posting about April’s fun days in just a couple of weeks. 🙂
You have so many great ideas for spending time with children – I love it! The tulips are beautiful and I didn’t know there was a national pig day! Thank you for sharing your ideas and linking up each week at #OvertheMoon. Have a lovely day!
Thank you for including our “dissect a flower” post – this is a great planning resource! We’re loving reading Charlotte’s Web right now so heading over to check out the bagel and sensory bin ideas!
This is great! My 5 year old will love these. I can’t wait to make our own peanut butter!
Wow! This is such a wonderful comprehensive list of activities. I love doing activities around monthly celebrations/themes. This will be so handy next month!
I’m so glad you like it! Enjoy!
That will be so much fun!
What a fun list of ideas and resources for learning in March. I love the idea of peanut day!
This was one of my favorites so far. Great job and thanks from another homeschooling mommy. 🙂 I pray the Lord blesses you mightily!
I love this, thank you! I have been looking to see what different “days” there were in March besides Easter and St. Patrick’s Day.
Isn’t fun to be able to add a little ‘quirky’ learning to your day!
Thank you so much! I hope you and your kids enjoy these activities!
I LOVE this! I probably wouldn’t have known about many of these without your list! Thank You!
Great list and resources and ideas! Pinned and tweeted! Thank you so much for sharing!
