Ready for a few highlights from last weeks link up? You all continue to inspire me with your fun ideas!!

This creative {and SUPER CUTE} geography idea comes from Sorting Sprinkles. She painted peg people to represent the flags of their nations and made it a fun activity for the kids to match up onto a map. To go along, you could also download the Country Flag matching game printable too to use with these cute flag people!

Just a few simple items are needed to make these cute play dough skeletons from Fantastic Fun and Learning. These would be so much fun to add to a human body or ‘All About Me’ unit.

To talk about cooperation, Carisa from 1+1+1=1 and her kids worked together on something simple, but also yummy! Each of the kids had a part of the smoothie ingredients and worked together to make something better than just a single ingredient.

Your kids can help you decorate around the house a bit by working on these yarn pumpkins that Enchanted Homeschooling Mom shared. Super cute!

Work on those fine motor skills with this easy paint chip pick up from Schooltime Snippets. Really easy to put together, and a great activity for little ones!

How’s the weather in your area? It’s really feeling like fall here which makes me want to break out all the fall-scented candles, go hiking with the kids, and find an orchard nearby. Time to make applesauce!

Stay tuned for some fun pumpkin and fall themed calendar printables too! I’ll be sharing some in the next few days with you all, so warm up your laminators and get your scissors ready to do some cutting!

Here are a few ideas to Pin and file to use with your kids in the next bit.

While packing peanuts are not my favorite thing to find in my house, this sculpture idea would be a great way to use them! Visit To the Moon and Back to read more of this fun activity.

The book We’re Going on a Bear Hunt was one of our FAVORITES, and this idea of using discovery bottles = brilliant. (Well, in my book – for what that’s worth). Visit Nestpirations for how she pulled this fun idea together.

Want to work on graphing and measuring with your young kiddos? Moms Have Questions Too shares 21 different graphing and measuring activities that you can try out.

It’s apple season and the ideas are rolling in for fun fall ideas. Here’s a simple apple counting and math activity using red water beads from 3 Dinosaurs.

For those of you who didn’t have a chance to join in the Discipleship and Discipline class, it is now available on-demand (which means you can watch the sessions as they were recorded at any time – woot!). Sally Clarkson and Sarah Mae are SUCH encouraging women and spent four days answering parenting questions and offering insight for moms who desperately need it. You can find out more here.

Have a great week. Can’t wait to see what you all have to share and link up this week!

Ready for a few more learning ideas to use with your children? You all have been sharing some great ideas – hope you been visiting others to see what they are linking up?

Where Imagination Grows shared a simple but fun activity that uses clothespins. You can tie in color matching and identification with counting and also get a little fine motor practice in at the same time.

We used to have a ton of sponges around the house that we used for painting, and this Absorption Sensory Bin from Memorizing the Moments would have ben a great place to use so many of them. Depending on the sponges that you have on hand, you could add in so many other learning activities with this bin – colors, letters, etc… – what fun!

This transportation sensory bin from Unschool the Teacher is so cute. I love the little car wash that she added to the bin {and you know the kids would love that!}.

GeoBoards are a great tool to use with your kids for creating shapes, imitating patterns, and so much more.  Plants and Pillars has some geoboard printables to share with everyone. They would make great tracing activities for younger children or your kids can imitate the activities.

If you are planning any geography studies, be sure to check out the Pinay Homeschooler. We’’ll be studying Australia soon with our co-op and there are some fun art projects we can add to our list here.

With fall coming, this pumpkin spice scented cloud dough sounds like it would be so yummy smelling. Not only would your house smell great, but I’m guessing your kids would as well.

That’s the round-up for this week, but there were so many other great links in last week’s Preschool and Kindergarten Community. Be sure to visit some of the other moms linking up this week and share some love with them!
