Time for some more learning ideas! Last week there were some great ideas linked up to the Preschool and Kindergarten Community linkup, and a few of them are featured below. While being inspired is important for teaching, encouragement is needed so very much for each of us. Be sure to look through the links today too – stop by, read a few links, and encourage each other with comments.

Conversation Heart Printables

It’s time for candy hearts!! Download these conversation heart printables from Tot Schooling to use with your kids and have a little fine motor fun.

Thrifty Art Storage Ideas

Sometime I think that our art supplies multiply when we turn the school room lights off. Tiny Tot Adventures share some thrifty art supply storage ideas you can gather from around the house (or put aside and use later). If the craft collection is going to grow, keep it organized!

Raspberry-scented Playdough

This raspberry-scented playdough from Dabbling Momma would be SO much great for Valentine’s Day. Take your red playdough up a notch – and have some fun filling your kitchen with amazing smells!

February Pocket Chart Calendar Pieces

Hopefully, February will be a bit warmer than the month of January has been for us! If anything you can warm up your laminator and get ready to print and laminate the February pocket chart calendar pieces. {Psst —> Here are some cheaper laminating pouches we use and LOVE!}

 For Mom: Daily Planning Pages

And since each one of us might need help with a little organization, don’t miss this free daily planning pages for the month of February.

For many of us, it was our first full week back in school – how did your week go? Finding the routine after time off can be tough, but it will get better, I promise. Here are a few ideas from the last Preschool and Kindergarten Community linkup – don’t forget to visit a few moms linking up today and leave a comment to encourage them too.

Don’t let cold weather keep your kids inactive! Still Playing School has indoor gross motor activities from A to Z that will keep your kids busy and active during the winter months.

This tin can snowman from Hands On As We Grow is amazingly cute! Jamie used larger tin cans and her turned out adorable! Wouldn’t some smaller ones, or even a snowman family be so much fun to make?

Working on CVC words with your kids, this simple idea using popsicle sticks, stamps, and a clothespin would make a great busy bag or travel idea. Visit Dabbling Momma to see her quick tutorial.

If one of your goals this year is to cut back on the whining, arguing, and complaining from your kids (and you too – I know how it is!), register now for this free parenting webinar with Positive Parenting Solutions. I’ll be hosting it on Tuesday, January 27th at 9pm and would love to have you there!
