Chocolate Chip Cookies

No, this isn’t a recipe, although baking some does sound awfully good!!  It’s just too hot to spend that much time in the kitchen though.  So, we’ll just have to settle for a couple of free printables!!

The first is a counting mat.  A cookie with a number is placed on the mat in the space provided, then that many chocolate chips are counted out and placed on the cookie.  The second item is a set of 2-part puzzle cards.  The numeral on the cookie jar will be match to that number of chocolate chips on the cookie.

Both of these activities are for counting 0 to 25.

Curious George

I’m sorry for my long absence of not sharing any freebies.  I just haven’t been making much.  It saddens me to say that my FREE printables are showing up all over GigaTribe again.  No matter how many times I ask that people remove them, they just flat out refuse.  I have no inspiration to continue creating materials if they’re going to constantly be abused and no respect shown toward me.  For pity sakes, I offer them for FREE!!  All they have to do is join my group or visit my blog to get them and NOT put them on Giga.  It’s pretty simple really!!

CuriousGeorge & BigHatAnyway, I’m back today with some materials for Curious George.  He was recently a theme in my group and I wanted to share with you what I made for them.  Not to worry though, I have plans for some reader exclusives!!

There is a set of 5×7 alphabet posters that were requested by one of my members.  There’s also a set of alphabet flashcards that have the upper and lower case letter on them.  They can definitely be used as more than just flashcards!!

You’ll also find a set of puzzles that feature horizontal and vertical lines, as well as triangles and squares.  Finally, there’s a magnification game that has the covers of Curious George’s 8×8 size books.  This one is a fun challenge, since some of the covers show very little difference between them!!

Happy Birthday, Donald!!

I’m a couple days late, 3 days in fact, but I wanted to wish Donald Duck a (BELATED) HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!  It also gives me the chance to offer you some freebies printables!!

There’s several printables in this set that include “Donald Duck Expressions Memory”, which is a set of cards and storage box.  I just made some “Donald Duck:  Sports Fan Alphabet Tracing Strips” as well.

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.

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.

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….

Froggie Flashcards

Yes, I finally have some printables to share with you all!!  It’s been a long stretch, hasn’t it??  I do apologize, but I just had no fresh ideas and things got super crazy busy.  Most of it was good times and it just left little time for me to focus on much else.

A nice lady in my PPoT group asked me to make her a set of flashcards for Pre-Primer Dolch Sight Words and for numerals.  She had this little frog in mind, but I had to see if I could find him.  I did and got on my way to creating!!

In addition to doing the 2 sets of flashcards that she asked for, I also did a set of number words.  These are just exclusively for all of you, my readers and followers, for sticking by me when my offerings were slim to none!!

The numeral and number word flashcards are both 0-25.  There are 40 Pre-Primer Dolch flashcards.  Also, if anyone needs a different grade level or more numbers….or any other type of flashcards, please just let me know!!  Use the “contact The Schoolhouse” in the right hand column or leave a comment and just let me know what you need.

Easter Egg Alphabet Match

PHEW!!  A little hectic today, but I still managed to get something created.  It’s a little basic, but should still prove useful to many of my readers.

This is a set of cards that feature an adorable bunny and chick with their Easter eggs.  The upper case letter is matched to it’s lower case letter.  They could also be used as flashcards, to make words, or other things.  I also created a storage box to keep them in so that no cards get lost!!

Fill the Wagon with Easter Eggs

I’m finally back and have a new freebie to share!!  Sorry that I was away longer than expected, but it took me awhile to get back in full swing again.  I do hope that you enjoyed the printables that I scheduled to post while I was away.  I still haven’t fixed that typo, but I will this weekend and I’ll post when I do so that you can update your file if you want.

For today, I have an Easter themed counting mat.  This one is Fill the Wagon with Easter Eggs and is for counting 1-15.  The numeral is placed in the box to complete the sentence of “Fill the wagon with __ Easter eggs”, and then that number of eggs is placed in the wagon.

I do plan on making more Easter printables this weekend so that they can be used all next week in school or at home.  Be sure to stay tune!!

Dino-Mite

I’m currently on Spring Break with my daughter and enjoying a little down time. My promise to her was that I wouldn’t be online during this time so that we can do whatever we want on a whim and just have a real break!!

I did want to be able to share this week though, so I’ve scheduled a couple blog posts so that you all can download some goodies while I’m off having a good time!! That said, I had a huge issue trying to upload my files to 4Shared, so if you go to download them, they may….or may not be there. If they’re not, please leave me a comment and when I’m online at the end of Spring Break, I’ll see if I can fix any of the errors.

The dinosaur lover in your class or at home should love these!!  I have Dino-Mite Counting, which has the player placing the numeral on the mat.  They will then place that many dino tokens on the mat.  Please note, there is a spelling error in the directions.  It says numBeral instead of numeral.  I don’t have the font on this computer, so I couldn’t fix it and I don’t have the time or access to do it right now.  Please just mark it out or when I return, I’ll correct it right away.

There’s also Dino-Mite Numbers, where the player places the numeral and the number word on the mat.  This strictly works on the skill of being able to match and correspond them correctly.  Both mats are for 0 to 25.
