Never mind the latest lockdown news – the number one parent topic in our Whatsapp groups right now is homeschooling 2.0. And with the latest reports suggesting it’s here to stay for at least six weeks, it’s high time we got sorted and took steps to make it a teeny bit more bearable for everyone concerned. Because, let’s be honest, it’s bloody hard work.
We all know kids are hard to settle – especially when settling involves a day’s schoolwork – so why not get the little ones (or big ones) excited and motivated with a brand new desk.
Not got the time or headspace to look for one? Well, you can call the search off, for we have scoured the internet for the top ten most stylish desks that even the flightiest kid will enjoy sitting at. And they are all in stock and available to be delivered within a week or two, so no long wait times. Check out the gallery below.
Now, if you’ll excuse us, we have some serious phonics to be getting on with…
