Dinosaur Make a Word Printable for Easy Writing Practice
I’ve never been very good at Scrabble even though my mom is a whiz. I’m happy to get a 3 letter word down and she isn’t happy if she doesn’t get at least one BINGO in a game. We’re just on different Scrabble levels. So activities like making a word out of a bigger word…

LEGO Counting On for Learning to Start Counting Anywhere
‘Counting on’ is one of those skills that I didn’t understand needed to be taught until Baloo was probably 4 or something. I guess I just hadn’t thought of it and assumed kids would just pick up on the pattern of numbers. And some kids pick up on that really well! In fact, I noticed…

Dinosaur Place Value and Other Math Fun
