Feb262014

February 26, 2014 by Jolanthe 2 Comments

Are you ready for a new month? March is almost here and this year already seems to be going by so quickly. With all the snow we’ve had, I’m hoping for some greenery to begin showing up – and for spring to show a little hint of being near! Warm up your laminator and get ready to print and laminate the March pocket chart calendar pieces. {Psst —> Here are some cheaper laminating pouches we use and LOVE!}

Use the different colored number cards to try different pattern sequences: an ABC pattern, ABAB pattern, AABB pattern and other patterns you can make up together. Here’s an example of different patterns using the cards from September.

The set includes a calendar header for the month of March as well.

Valentine’s Day Even and Odd Number Sorting Printable

Feb102014

February 10, 2014 by Jolanthe Leave a Comment

Here’s a fun printable to use with your kids to practice even and odd numbers as well as number sequencing.

Use the Valentine’s Day Even and Odd Number Sort game to have your child work on sequencing numbers from 1 to 30 or have your child sort the numbers by odd or even. If 30 numbers are too many, then choose a handful and record them on the mat {great handwriting practice as well}.

Print the pages on cardstock and laminate them to make them sturdy {this is how we laminate more inexpensively}. Then let your child sort the numbers by even and odd while spread out on the floor, or pick a handful of the numbers and record them on the last page in the even or odd basket using a Vis-à-vis markers or dry erase markers.

The Olympics snuck up on me, so this next week we’ll have a little fun with a few activities. If you haven’t planned anything yet, here are a few ideas to get you going.

This ice skating diorama from Spell Outloud is one of the many fun ideas that she is working on with her girls to celebrate the Olympics. Her edible Olympic medals are one of the best ideas!

This colorful craft from Happy Hooligans is super simple and easy to pull together with little preparation. Check out Happy Hooligans for the Olympic Ring Art project.

Chalk pastels are one of our favorite art mediums, and Tricia from Hodge Podge shares Winter Olympic Chalk Pastels for all ages. You can find a free Olympic Ring Tutorial here.

Every Star is Different shares a variety of Montessori activities that you can work on with your kids.

This Olympic flag craft from Crystals Tiny Treasures is another fun and simple activity to celebrate the beginning of the games.

This Lego Ring Sorting activity from Toddler Approved is a great way to add in some color work while learning about the Olympics.

If you run a few Olympic trials at your home, be sure to make some of these Salt Dough Olympic Medals from The Imagination Tree. Your kids will love them!

For some snack fun, you can pull together these Olympic torches from Living Well, Spending Less.

If none of these activities work for you, be sure to follow my Olympic Theme Pinterest Board where there are LOTS of additional ideas to keep you busy with your kids!
