Mr. Potato Head NFL Memory

I was filling a request for a group member to create Mr. Potato Head items when I came across these great NFL themed Mr. Potato Head‘s!!  I just loved them and knew I had to do something with them.

I ended up making a set of memory cards with the Mr. Potato Head for each team in the NFL on the cards.  I ran into an issue of not being able to find an image for 2 of the teams.  They are the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  However, the 30 other teams are represented!!  I also created a storage box to keep the cards in.

Just a note that if you happen to find an image of either or both of these teams, I’d be more than happy to create cards for them.  Just use the contact form in the right column to let me know that you have the images or where I can find them and I’ll get the cards made right up!!

V.B.S. – Amazing Wonders Aviation

Each summer, one of my group members conducts Vacation Bible School (VBS) at her church.  For a few years now, she’s asked me to create printables that they can use in the classroom because they have a limited budget and can’t purchase the whole package.  This year, their theme is Amazing Wonders Aviation through LifeWay and it looks like a great backdrop to teaching the kids God’s love.

They use the NIV version of the Bible, so any printables with the verse for this theme will come from that version of the Bible.  Also, I just want to note ahead of time that I will be adding a few more items to this and I’ll do another blog post to update what ever else I create.

For the memory verse, I made a cryptogram, fallen phrase, double puzzle, and letter tiles.  These are all puzzles geared more toward the older elementary age kids.  There’s also an AWA maze.

I created a set of banners and doorknob hangers.  You’ll find desk plates and name tags as well.  There’s also a set of basic VBS bookmarks. 

Finally, the things that I’m most excited about and proud of is a passport and tickets/boarding passes.  The kids can hand the teacher a boarding pass each day as they enter class.  Beforehand, the tickets can be filled in with the destination that the class is going during VBS.  There’s also a set of semi-completed tickets for those that don’t want to fill in all the information.  The passport can be stamped by the teacher as activities during VBS are completed or a lesson is done for the day.  I just can’t tell you how much I love these!!

**PLEASE NOTE:  When I printed the passport, it printed front and back perfectly on the 2 printers that I have.  One, prints front and back, while the other, the paper has to be flipped over and re-inserted.  I’m unable to give tech help on how your printer might print front and back, so if you have an issues, just print one-sided and then cut each page out and insert in the cover, then staple.**

More of Clifford – The Big Red Dog

As I told you earlier in the week, a very lovely lady from my group had requested several Clifford – The Big Red Dog printables.  I was more than happy to make them and it kept me busy and helped me create some new materials.  I love requests!!

Well, everything that I’ve share up to now were all things that I created for her request and shared in my group.  Now, I have some exclusives, just for YOU!!  This is the first time anyone is seeing these and I wanted to give you all something all your own for always sticking by and following along with my posts.

The first item that I made is a set of number strip puzzles, There is a puzzle for counting 1-10 and 3 puzzles for skip counting by 2, 5, and 10.  There’s also a tic-tac-toe set with 2 boards and several tokens to choose from!! 

Next is a Clifford The Big Red Dog writing center set.  These sheets feature the typical read and write skills, but they also include stamp, glue, and draw.  The other writing center center set is not only read and write skill, but also stamp and draw.  Both sets feature Clifford and his friends from his books and tv show.

I managed to get one other thing created!!  This is sorting mats for small, medium, and large.  Each of King Clifford and his prince and princess friends are sorted by their sizes on the appropriate mat.

Clifford – The Big Red Dog

What kid doesn’t love Clifford the Big Red Dog??  I don’t think many!!  Today, I have a wide variety of Clifford materials for you.  I hope that you’ll find something that you can use and that the kids will enjoy!!

Clifford-discontinued

First up, there is a set of alphabet flashcards posters with the upper and lower case letter on each card and a set of flashcards posters that has the days and months on them.  There’s also a set of flashcards posters for 0-25 with the numeral and number word, as well as a set of US money posters with the front and back of each coin and the coin name.  The last set of flashcards posters is for colors and it features the color word with that color bone in Clifford’s mouth!!  All posters are 5 x 7 and could be used for large cards as well.

I created a set of 2-part cards for money using 4 coins for amounts less than $1 and a set for matching the colors of Clifford’s paw to the color word that Clifford and his friends are looking for.  There’s also a set of shape cards that can be used several ways.  They can be used to play concentration, “Go Fish”, “Old Maid”, or a variety of other things!!

Next is as set of clothespin cards for counting Clifford’s dog dishes or bones and a set for matching the lower case letter to Clifford’s upper case letter.  The final item is a set of word wall cards for Clifford and his friends.

Clifford Calendar Set

I know it’s been forever since I posted.  Life is just busy and I have a lack of creative ideas right now.  I’m hoping with summer here that there will be a new flow of ideas that I can get hot on!!

One of the ladies in my group requested some Clifford – The Big Red Dog items.  One of the things that she wanted was a calendar set.  That’s what I’m sharing with you today!!  You’ll find calendar numbers with some extras, years to 2017, and all the months.  Also, there’s a set of “yesterday”, “today”, and “tomorrow” cards where the days fit in the blank space.

A Bee C’s Writing Strips

Today, I have a set of tracer strips.  They can be used as cards/strips, or they can be placed on a metal ring.  I recommend printing on card stock, laminating them, and using a dry erase marker to practice writing the upper and lower case alphabet.  Each strip features and adorable little bee, thus the A Bee C’s Writing Strips!!

Spring Calendar Set

I know this is a little late, but hopefully you will still be able to use it.  This is a spring calendar set.  Yes, spring “ends” at the end of May (since summer begins in June), but I just had to finish it and get it shared!!

This is the perfect set for spring with lots of pink, white and teal flowers.  I used a fresh spring-like font for the numbers and words.  The years go from 2012-2016, so you can get plenty of use from it.  I also included all 12 months for those that like spring all year long!!  It also includes the days of the week and the yesterday, today, and tomorrow cards.  Finally, there are 31 dates and lots of extras for the holidays that fall from March to May.

Circus Train Ordinals

I had big plans for more freebies through the weekend, but I only got one thing created.  That’s alright though, because I celebrated Mother’s Day with my family and did nothing except enjoy my day!!  I did manage to get one item made, and I’m really happy with it.

This is a set of strip cards to place on a ring so the kids can flip through them.  They cover the ordinals of first through twelfth.  The ordinal numeral with the circus act is matched to the ordinal word on the circus train car.

I recommend printing on card stock and then laminating for extra durability.  Also, since they’re ring cards, you want want to attach a small piece of velcro to each train car and the backs of the circus acts.  That way, they won’t fall off if you use them as ring cards and not just cards to lay flat on the table top.

More Froggie

At the end of April, I shared some froggie flashcards that I’d made for a request from one of my group members.  I’ve now created some additional materials for her and wanted to share them with all of you!!

First is a set of puzzles featuring the same cute froggie, plus a couple of his friends.  The puzzles come in 4, 6, and 8 pieces.  If you print on cardstock and laminate, they’re perfect for little hands!!

There’s also a set of alphabet clothespin cards.  The upper case letter is on froggie and the lily pad with the matching lower case letter is clipped or marked.

Also in the making right now is a set of number clothespin cards.  They will be from 0 – 25 with the number of froggies being clipped to the numeral.  If these aren’t in the file when you download, please come back to get them!!  (When the thumbnail view is available, these cards will be available.)

Transportation

In my group right now, we’re having a month long transportation theme.  I found the idea for the first item while browsing the internet, but unfortunately don’t remember where I found it.  I’m in no way taking credit for the original concept of this game, but knew that I wanted to use it with this theme.

The first item is what I’m calling Modes of Transportation Front & Back 3-Part Puzzle Cards.  Each card has the middle section of a mode of transportation.  The player has to find the front and back of that mode of transportation to complete the puzzle.  Wouldn’t it be fun to make silly transportation too and swap out pieces??

Next are some transportation cards.  These can be used as flashcards, or used to play games like “Transport Me” (a transportation version of “Go Fish”) or concentration/memory, as well as many other things.  There’s also a storage box included.

Finally, I made a huge set of transportation letter tile mats.  There’s so many, that there’s 3 downloads!!  There’s also an answer key for some images that one might not recognize.

Here’s a thumbnail view of some of the parts to this transportation theme….
