My kids have started asking for more of these simple math games!  So of course I said yes!  We end up only playing them a few days, but that’s perfect!  They don’t get bored of them in the few times we play but they still get a lot of extra practice!  I felt like a…

Christmas Tree Arrays for Multiplication Fun

I don’t remember learning arrays as a kid.  It’s one of those concepts that someone had to explain to me before I could teach it myself. I love arrays! First, what a great visual representation of multiplication.  And it’s so orderly. Second, arrays make an excellent bridge between multiplication and area!  And I think anything…

Santa Clip Cards for Comparing Numbers

Have you ever been the mom of the kid who tells other kids that Santa isn’t real? Confession: We don’t do Santa in our house.  It’s a long story but we just don’t do Santa.  However, they do understand that others “do Santa” and we try to respect that.  However, Baloo (10) also likes to…

Elf Counting Mats for Christmas Math Fun

Sometimes I like to pretend I’m a kid again.  It helps relieve stress to just pretend like I have no responsibilities.  I often picture myself as Will Ferrel in Elf.  Because he was the epitome of an adult who never grew up.  Actually, when my husband calls I often answer “Buddy the Elf, what’s your…

Christmas Early Readers

I’ve been printing out letter books for Logi-Bear and he absolutely loves them.  He “reads” them and just enjoys them so much.  So I thought it was time to introduce some really early easy readers. Very simple.  Very repetitive. Pictures that give context clues.  I just know he is going to love reading like his…

Christmas I Spy Sight Words

I love activities that make learning fun (and I hope that is obvious!  Fun is IN!).  So printables that involve using a magnifying glass?  Totally awesome.  I love I Spy Sight Words!  I’ve been including these in my packs, but I wanted to make a set especially for Christmas. I used Primer sight words for…

I wanted to create a fun sight word game just for Christmas.  Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, I took some inspiration from the Popcorn Game.  But instead, its Christmas Cookies! I’ve provided all the printables – including the strip to cover a can!  Or you can just use a regular cookie jar! Here’s…

Free Christmas Tree Number Matching

So my original idea was actually Christmas Tree Number Matching, and then the idea for the turkey number matching came up.  I really liked the turkey one and this one is just as fun.  Unfortunately the items are smaller so I was only able to go up to number 5 with these. The idea behind…
