Spooktacular Strip Puzzle

I was playing around and put this scene together.  Then I found a background that fit the scene perfectly.  I tried to think about what exactly I could do with it.  I decided to stick with the basics and just make a strip puzzle.  This puzzle is counting by 5’s and is not only a spooky scene, but has spooky numbers too!!

Here’s a thumbnail of the strip puzzle…..

Cute Monkey Calendar Set

I spent today working on a calendar set off and on for most of the day.  This set is just so adorable, if I must say so myself!!  HAHA  It’s also an exclusive, just for you, my blog readers.  The calendar set would be perfect for a young preschool room as it’s very whimsical.  It’s also very well suited for a monkey or jungle themed room.  No matter what, I hope that you can find a place to use it!!

Letter of the Week: Pp

The current Letter of the Week is Pp. There’s 2 brand new writing practice sheets in both fonts (ZB and DN) with penny and pen.  I also did the magnet sheets and found it a bit of a challenge to make them upper and lower case and look that way!!  For the magnet sheets, I used pine cone and popcorn. I hope that you like them!!

Fall Hay Ride

Please don’t forget to enter my first ever give-away. I’m offering a choice from 1 of 3 FREE educational printables to all those that enter.

What a week!!  It was a little crazy….good, but crazy and it’s about to get even more so.  Kiddos birthday is this week and her party is next weekend.  I got so wrapped up in everything this week that I totally forgot to post anything!!  HAHA  Now the question is…what to share!?!?

I think that since today was the first day of autumn, I’m going to take you on a Fall Hay Ride.  This is a blank or generic file folder game (ffg).  You can simply use it as a board game, or you can make your own skill to play the game.  It’s a very basic game, so you can create your own rules, skills, or whatever you need to play a fun game!!

For a bonus, I have  Fall Friends, which I don’t think I ever shared.  They are strip puzzles that I found it in my files as I was looking for the game that I’m sharing tonight!!  As always, I appreciate your comments and feedback on the materials that I create. Also, I’d love it if you’d vote for my blog by clicking the button below….thanks!!

My First Give-Away!!

I’m so excited to announce that my blog is hosting its first ever give-away!!  This give-away is sponsored by Amanda of A-Manda Creation .  She’s provided the “grand prize”, which is a $10 gift certificate to her store!!  Amanda also provided the kit, Time to Rhyme,  used to make the FREE printables for this give-away strictly as a promotion.  The kit that she let me use is Dr. Seuss based.  Her kits are personal use ONLY!!  She’s a wonderful and friendly lady to work with and I’m so honored that she’s letting me host this give-away featuring one of her products, as well as the “grand prize”.

Every person that enters will receive their choice from 1 of 3 FREE educational printables that I’ve made just for this event.  At the end of the give-away, I will draw a random number (based on how many comments/entries there are) and that person will receive the $10 gift certificate to A-Manda Creation.  The drawing for the winner will be held 29 September at 12pm (CST) and the winner will be announced via blog post at that time.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:  I created these for my Y!Group for our “letter of the week” for the previous school year.  Members started asking that I include a word list so that the kids can self-check themselves.  When I posted this, I forgot to include the word list.  It’s now included and while I was at it, I added several more word tile cards.  So if you’ve downloaded this, please download the new version so that you have the most updated file!!
