Re: Ideas for giving them a learning rich environment.. . . .
take advantage of free days or discount days at aquariums, Ren fests, museums and the like.
play great music throughout the day- classical, jazz, folk music, etc.
get book lights and let them read (or look at books for those too young to read) at night after they are in bed
put maps up on your walls-- mark the places you have travelled
use their natural interests as a starting point (once my kids wanted me to buy a coconut-- and we talked about where coconuts grow, and looked it up in the atlas --talked about lines of latitude, and the tropics. We talked about rainforets and plants and animals that live there)
