15 Best Education Pinterest Accounts

Pinterest can be a great source of inspiration for all kinds of things, including education resources and learning activities. But just like any social network, including Twitter and Facebook, what you see on your Pinterest feed largely depends on who you follow.

Sure, browsing the Popular feed, or a category like Education or Kids can help you discover some great pins, but it can also yield a lot of spam, dead links, and plenty of pins that just aren’t relevant to you.

But following people who consistently share content that appeals to you ensures that a scroll through your Home Feed will always bring you great ideas and inspiration.

Of course, we encourage you to follow our K12/Learning Liftoff Pinterest page, where every day, we thoughtfully curate only the best activities and educational resources from Learning Liftoff and all around the web. Below, you’ll find some of our other favorite education Pinterest users, including parents, homeschoolers, and teachers. Happy pinning!
