It’s that back to school time again and everyone has different emotions around it. Some love the feeling of getting organized and ready while others are sad to know how much their babies are growing up. My son started doing daily homework in kindergarten and this surprised me even though it made sense. Often times the kitchen table will suffice for a quick review or a worksheet, but it’s nice to have a zone specifically designed for homework where school supplies, books, and school calendars can have a place of their own.

These dedicated homework station ideas will certainly keep your kiddos focused and on task. You can create a lovely space to inspire learning. And even if your short on space for an exclusive study area, there are some options to get their creative juices flowing.
