Sharing the Love

I know, my posting is few and far between.  Since my surgery, I’m just so much more active and don’t spend the time at the computer that I used to.  Plus with the GigaTribe mess, I just didn’t feel like sharing, much less creating new materials.  I gotta admit that I miss it just a bit though!!

Today, I have a folder of Valentine’s Day printables.  Most of these were made last year.  Some of you might have them, or they might be new to many of you.  Either way, it’s a great set of 9 fun activities for the kids!!

First up is my oldest one in the batch.  It’s Valentine Stamp Pattern worksheets and there’s about 3 pages of pretty stamps to complete the pattern on.  Next is A Heart of Many Colors and it’s a set of 2-part cards for color matching.  Then, I have The Shapes of Love 2-part cards for matching the shape to the shape word.

There’s 2 sets of clothespin cards.  One is Have a Heart and that’s for counting numbers 0-20 and Sweetness & Love is for matching upper case to lower case letters.  I also have a set of Have a Heart mirror cards to work on symmetry and just fun play with a mirror!!

A Time for Love is a set of 2-part cards for telling time.  They are for 5 minute times.  There’s a flipbook called Count on Love for matching the number of objects, the numeral, and the number word from 0-20.  Finally, there’s The Price of Being Love Birds which is a set of 2-part cards for money values.  It’s matching the value of a Valentine’s gift to the correct amount in coins.

New Year …. New Direction

I want to wish all my readers, followers, and those who use my printables, a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!  I hope that you have a blessed 2012.

With a new year comes new directions and some changes.  This is so true for me!!  It’s also true for my blog and the things that I create.  I will still continue to create and share my educational and Christian printables, but I’m adding to my portfolio.  I’m going to start to create printables for the home, party supplies, gifts, and items like those.  I feel that it’s time for my to broaden my horizons.  I don’t think that any of you will be disappointed by what I share and I think it will bring in a wider range of viewers to my blog.

My first new offering for the new year is a set of checkbook cover art.  This is a set of 4 different ones.  The checkbook cover art are inserted inside the clear plastic covers.  I’ve had one of these covers for years and my insert if wearing out and I’ve often wanted to change it out.  I measured them for the clear cover that I have, but some might vary slightly in size even though they’re pretty standard in size.  In that instance, I’d just trim off the borders to help them fit better.

Lil Eskimos Calendar Set

I’m finally back with a new printable to share.  This is a calendar set that features the most adorable little Eskimos.  It was really fun to get back creating again and I hope that you can use it.

The set includes dates, with a few extras and all the months.  There’s also years starting with 2012 and going to 2017.  Lastly, there’s “yesterday was”, “today is”, and “tomorrow will be” complete with the days to fill in the slots.

The Nativity Cards & Box

So it’s finally back to The Schoolhouse with Nativity A Day.  This is the 17th posting and there’s only 3 more to go in addition to this one.  That means that I missed 3 postings!!  What do you think of that??  Do you think that I completed my personal challenge??

Today I have a set of nativity cards to offer.  These are large cards and can be used a number of ways.  If you only print one set, you could use them for flashcards, sequencing, or retelling the story of the nativity.  If you print 2 copies, they could be used for “Go Fish”, concentration/memory, or “Old Maid” (but don’t forget to pull one card so you have an odd one).  They could be used for so much more too!!  It also includes a storage box to keep them in.

The Nativity Dominoes

Nativity A Day and it’s 13th posting brings us a set of nativity dominoes.  This is a large set!!  They’re a size that should be good for small hands to play with….and big ones too.  There’s also a storage box to hold the set of dominoes. 

There’s so many activities that can be done with dominoes, so I hope that these will help you find something fun for the kids to do or a nice family night Christmas game!!

Who Stole Santa’s Elf?

This is a card game for getting acquainted or just having fun at home, in the classroom, or even at a party!!

The game can be played with 2 or more players.  The more players, the more sets of cards that will need to be printed.  You can also print more than one set for 2 players to make the game last longer.

Players are dealt the cards and they’re placed in a row face down in front of them.  The game is played to the chant of “Who Stole the Cookie?” and has the same basis.  If the player doesn’t have Santa’s Elf, they say “NOT ME” and play continues on, one player at a time.  If they do flip it over, they say “IT’S ME” and the game ends, unless more than one set of cards is used…..then play continues until the last Santa’s Elf has been flipped over.

This idea is not my own.  I got the inspiration from Super Silly Songs and their “Who Took the Cookie?” activity.  Please be sure to check out their printable activity and stay tuned for me to create another version similar to this one!!

Here’s a peek at this card game….

This includes a set of cards, full directions, and a storage box.

An Update

Please go to this post at my family blog to find out why I’ve been missing in action and not posting as many free printables as usual.  I figured it would be easier to link up there than to try to type it all out again.

Because of the crazy week I had, I wasn’t able to get my Letter of the Week materials created or updated.  If at all possible, I’m going to work on it this weekend, but time will tell.  As soon as things smooth out, I promise to get back to creating and sharing.

Thanks for standing by and continuing to follow along.  I appreciate you being here and waiting for new new printable!!

New Blog Look

I know it seems like I disappeared without a word, and I apologize.  Things got really busy around here.  On top of that, I was fighting a cold and it ended up getting the best of me.  I’m very much on the mend and feeling really good.  Things are just still busy and I’m playing catch-up now.

I realize that I’m behind on my “letter of the week” posts.  That’s alright though because they’ll just go longer this way!!  There will be one posted on Monday like usual.  I also had more Halloween items to post and never got to it and I didn’t even share them in my groups.  Guess I have a head start on next year!!

I’m sure you can see by looking at my blog that it has a new look.  I’m really happy with how it’s looking right now.  I think it looks so much more like I’ve always wanted it.  I made the header myself!!  I hope that you enjoy the new format of the blog and really like the way it looks while you’re visiting.

Well, I think that about covers it!!  If time permits, I’ll have something over the weekend, and if not, I’ll be back Monday with “letter of the week”.  Take care until then!!

Hello world!!

As you can see, I’m starting up a brand new blog.  I feel that it’s really important to separate my Christian and educational printables from my daily blog.  I know this may seem like more work, but I actually think this is going to be less stressful and easier to maintain.  I won’t have to worry about who’s happy and who’s not, because everyone will be….including me!!

So please, subscribe to the blog, grab my blog button and enjoy!!  I’ll be posting some brand new printables very soon in hopes that they help you and the kids!!
