Pumpkin Array Printable for Multiplication Practice

ByErin

Pumpkin season is full swing.  The manager at our grocery store told me it’s time to start stocking up on canned pumpkin because there will be a shortage.  Pumpkin spice lattes are everywhere.  We even had pumpkin spice donut holes at Dunkin Donuts (they were absolutely amazing too).  It just doesn’t feel like fall so…

Pumpkin Place Value Free Printable for Math

ByErin

Logi-Bear is just delving into the concept of place value and I’m finding that extra practice with it is very very helpful.  He has accepted that when you are counting and hit a 9, you move up to the next 10.  But I’m not convinced he understands why.  We’re working with LEGO Place Value a…

Pokemon Movement Cards – Get the Wiggles Out

ByErin

Some mornings I can tell we need to get a bit of The Wiggles out.  Incidentally, my kids no longer like they song (which is a bummer because I loved it).  So I needed a quick and easy way to get them moving a bit before we get started.  Of course, I remembered my construction…

Pumpkin Number Line: Hands On Math

ByErin

Logi-Bear is starting to learn some more diverse methods of addition and subtraction and I’m trying to keep up with him.  He is a motivated learner and just does not need much instruction.  But I have fun making things so I do.  I’m hoping this hands on pumpkin number line will grab his attention!  …

ByErin

Arrrrr matey’s!  It be that time o’ year again.  Yep, talk like a pirate day is coming.  Funny fact – when I was in high school one of my besties and I had a note journal.  We would (secretly) write notes to each other during class and pass off the notebook.  It never failed that…

Pokemon Grid Art for Writing Fine Motor Skills

ByErin

My kids hate writing.  I hear this from parents and teachers over and over and over.  My kids hate writing.  Typically people mean the physical act of writing, not the process of thinking of words to put on a paper.  And this activity handles the physical act without the process part.  My kids will dictate…

Finding Dory Addition Game

ByErin

The first thing I heard when I woke up Friday was “Finding Dory comes out today!!”. I honestly don’t know how they knew. We don’t really watch TV. Or YouTube. Or anything with commercials. I suspect it was my mother (who is way more excited for Finding Dory than anyone else in existence). Still, surprised…

My First Recipe Book Printable

ByErin

There’s nothing quite as amazing as cooking with kids. Frustrating, yes. But amazing, too. I’ve always (mostly) enjoyed showing my kids how to cook decent food and take ownership of their own nutrition. But that’s not always easy when they’re first learning to read recipes. Especially for young kids still learning to read. Long recipes…
