Amazing Handwriting Worksheets Teach Life Skills

I walked into the bathroom and saw the empty toilet paper roll.

The kitchen’s trash can is overflowing and there’s an empty milk jug in the refrigerator next to an unsealed bag of cheese that now is as hard as a rock.

You would think we don’t teach basic chores and life skills in our homes, but I know you battle against these same issues in your home too. Kids need a lot of practice to allow common sense and practical skills to become second nature.

As a homeschool mom, you may find that finding time to teach these life skills gets squeezed out by academic pressures, like learning to write beautifully.

Boy, do I have good news for you!

Amazing Handwriting Worksheets to the Rescue

Combining important life skills with menial tasks, like penmanship practice is perfection!

These Amazing Handwriting Worksheets do just that for you and your kids.

Each category is filled with quotes, instructions, or quick tips to help build your child’s life skills a little at a time. Use the pages for handwriting practice, writing prompts, or simply conversation starters.

Finally!
Handwriting worksheets that combine common sense and penmanship!

“When I reach the end of the roll of toilet paper, I hereby swear to replace the roll with a NEW roll of toilet paper. I also promise to throw the empty cardboard tube into the trash can.”

Yes, our kids need to have legible handwriting. Beautiful penmanship is almost a lost art form these days. There’s even a joke going around saying if we simply switch to cursive and cut off wifi we could cripple a whole generation. LOL.

But we want our kid to do more than write beautifully. Why not use handwriting practice as a springboard into teaching life skills about cleaning, car care, first aid and more.

Handwriting prompts can also be used as simple conversation starters. Did you know that “when a girl asks if you’re tired, it’s usually because she wants to talk?”

Handwriting practice can also be an excellent way to introduce or reenforce common sense activities such as replacing the toilet paper roll, throwing away the empty milk jug, or feeding the dog.

Let’s use this simple academic skill to reinforce excellent behavior and habits. You can download your copy here.
