Letter of the Week: Ll

The current Letter of the Week is Ll.  There’s a set of magnet sheets featuring llama and leaf.  I think they’re pretty cute too!!  Also, there’s new writing practice sheets with ladle and list.  Those are available in both fonts….ZB and DN.

Here’s a thumbnail collage of what I newly added to Letter of the Week…..

The letter Ll folder also includes the items that I previously made for Letter of the Week.  You’ll find the My Letter Ll Book in both fonts.  There’s also writing practice sheets and (Play-Doh) mats.  Which, also come in both fonts.  Finally, there’s a set of Ll letter tile mats which have been updated to include a word list so the kids can self-check.

To download the Letter of the Week printables, just…..

Spooktacular Jigsaw Puzzle

This is made from the same Halloween scene that I talked about yesterday. This one is a jigsaw puzzle though.  Since it’s not extremely scary, I made it with few enough pieces that smaller kids could play too.  The spooktacular puzzle has 9 pieces!!

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!!

Back to School Calendar Set

Today, the Schoolhouse went back to homeschool.  To celebrate “back to school”, I want to share some (back to) school theme items that I created last year.  The rest will come later this week, but first off, I have a large calendar set.  

All graphics used © Scrappin’ Doodles with permission.

This calendar set not only features numbers 1-31 for the dates, but also includes numbers 32-100 for those who count the first 100 days of school.  Additionally, there are “no school”, “birthday”, and “holiday” for date slots.  The calendar years are from 2010-2015 so they can be used in the future as well.  Also included in this set are strips for “yesterday was”, “today is”, and “tomorrow will be”.  They days fit perfectly on these strips or can be used alone.

Here’s a collage sample of some of the pieces in the calendar set….

If you’re interested in this back to school calendar set, please just…..

 

If you’re going to use this calendar set for your homeschool, classroom, or other location for back to school (or anytime during the school year), please leave a comment and let me know how you and the kids like it. I’d also appreciate it if you’d click the button below (as well as in the side bar under “vote or rate The Schoolhouse”).

Travel Fun & Games

I know that summer is quickly coming to an end, but you can’t tell it by the temperatures here!!  There’s also lots of people out there taking their family vacations or visiting family and friends.  To keep the kids busy in the car, I’ve created a couple simple printable activities.

Last year, I made a Travel Bingo game where the objects can be marked off as you find them on the trip.  There’s also calling cards, that someone could use to call off objects or they could be cut apart and the players draw objects….until BINGO is yelled!!

There’s a set of Travel Word Games where words are made from travel phrases.  There’s 4 different ones!!  I also made 2 versions of tic-tac-toe with a travel theme.  Finally, there’s a set of maps to choose from to color the states (or countries) that you visit or travel through on your summer journeys.

I have 2 more games in the works, but I don’t know if I’ll get them done or not.  Well, I will, it’s just a matter of when!!  Just so many things going on right now and I’m trying to keep up with it all.  Please check back to THIS post to see if there’s an update for me finishing up creating them.  If it’s not posted by Sunday, then I got overwhelmed and I’m not sure when they’ll be complete!!

Here’s a collage sample of some of the items for travel fun & games….

If you’re interested in the travel fun & games printables, please just…..

UPDATE:  There is a new set of 9-piece jigsaw puzzles with a variety of cute and fun travel pictures.  There’s 4 puzzles in the set. 

If you’re going on vacation, taking a trip someplace, visiting family, or going use these games for your homeschool, classroom, or other location, please leave a comment and let me know how you and the kids like it.  I’d also appreciate it if you’d click the button below (as well as in the side bar under “vote or rate The Schoolhouse”).

A 4th of July Gift

Today, I have an “Exclusive Reader Gift” for the 4th of  July!!

I made some Star Spangled Number Puzzles.  These are all items that one would probably see either on the 4th of July or affiliated with it.  These puzzles are for numbers 0-25.

I also made several jigsaw puzzles.  There’s some antique ones that are 8 and 12 pieces.  There’s also 2 each of some really pretty 4th of July images that I found.  Those are 24 and 48 pieces.

Here’s a sample of some of the items….

If you’re interested in this “Exclusive Reader Gift”, please just…..

Doodles ©  Kate Hadfield Designs at The Lilypad.  Clipart Katie ©  at Just So Scrappy Too.  They are used with permission.  All other images from internet sources.  They are believed to be public domain and are used without profit for educational purposes only.

As an added bonus, this folder also contains 5 files that I created last year.  They’re all a fireworks theme and perfect to go along with this Gift to my loyal readers….and my new ones too!!

I’m working on another project to share as part of this Reader Gift.  I don’t know when it’ll be completed.  I think it’ll be worth the wait though!!  So, please check back to this post for an update to let you know when it’s available!!

If you’re celebrating the 4th of July….or going use these games for your homeschool, classroom, or other location, please leave a comment and let me know how you and the kids like it. I’d also appreciate it if you’d click the buttons below (as well as in the side bar under “vote or rate The Schoolhouse”).

 

 

 

UPDATE:  I was able to finish my other Reader Gift.  I’m happy with how it turned out and I hope that you can use and enjoy it as much as I did making it.  My last item is Patriotic Word Writing Strips.  I made them with a tracing font, but they could also be used for a word wall as well.

Let’s Have a Picnic!!

July is National Picnic Month.  It starts off the perfect way and the perfect time for a picnic.  And that great start is Independence Day!!  What’s better than celebrating the 4th of July with a cookout or picnic by the lake.

I’ve created a couple items to help celebrate National Picnic Month and get us ready for bbq-ing this summer and church picnics!!  First, there’s Ants on a Picnic Number Mats and we all know how pesky those ants can be!!  Ants are sorted onto the mats by the number indicated on the picnic basket.  You won’t be annoyed by these cute little ants though!!

Next, there’s 2 sets of Picnic Alphabet Writing Strips.  There’s a set for upper case….and a set for lower case.  I also made a sequencing puzzle called Sequence Teddy Bear’s Picnic.  It’s made from an adorable picture and they place the strips in order to complete the puzzle.

Finally, there’s some shadow matching cards.  These are What’s in the Picnic Basket? Shadow Match Cards.  There’s an image on the plate and it must be matched to the shadow of that image on the picnic basket.  What do you think it inside the picnic basket??

Here’s a sample collage of some of the pages….

If you’re interested in these picnic printables, please just click for each one below.

Let’s Have a Luau

Summer is the perfect time to have a luau!!  I’ve created several printables that can be used in the classroom or at a party. 

This set includes several puzzles with various number of pieces.  The main object of the puzzles is a tiki.  There’s also an old Hawaii map postcard and other luau related items.  There’s also a full set of cards that feature tiki art and they can be used for memory/concentration with a storage box.

There is also a Tiki Tango Game.  This is a game that can be mounted inside a file folder and used as a file folder game or it can be laminated together and used as a game board.  It’s a word game with all the words having –ANG- in them.  It includes the cover, directions, tab label, die, player tokens, and game board.

Here’s a collage of just some of the luau/tiki items available ….

Tiki art from internet sources.  Box background from Vecteezy and tiki head from Creative Clips.

If you’re interested in these tiki printables, please just…..
