Sensory Bin Freebie

I posted this activity during Teacher Appreciation Week, but wanted to share it here.
I created a fun summer themed sensory bin activity that you can use these last few days of school or this summer with your little ones at home!

This activity focuses on the 4 basic shapes!  Your kiddos pick a card and record what shape they find!  There are two recording sheets included.  One sheet your kiddos color the shape they find and the other one they trace the shape. 
This sensory bin center comes in BW and color!  Grab it HERE!

Puzzle Fun

Puzzles are a fun activity for your kiddos at school and home!

Summer is right around the corner and let's be honest-there will be rainy days!  It is always nice to have a rainy day activities up your sleeve for that last minute indoor time.

I recently took one of our letter puzzles and taped each piece onto a door in our house.  My son would find a letter on the door then put the piece on his puzzle.  It was fun to have the pieces on the door and added an extra step to take the tape off.

There are different ways you can do this.  You can say a letter and they find it or you can let them pick the letter and let them set it on their own!

Another fun way to mix things up is to take a puzzle and wrap each piece in tin foil or paper.  Your kiddos have to unwrap the piece before they can set their puzzle!  What kiddo DOESN'T like opening presents!?

Teacher Appreciation Freebies

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
I wanted to celebrate YOU all week long with a NEW freebie every day this week!
I'm kicking off day 1 with a summer themed subtraction center.

Your kiddos can play two ways!

They can sort the cards by the answers to the equations or they can pick an equation and record on their recording sheet.

All these freebies will be posted in my store, so make sure you are following so you don't miss out on any this week!

Mother's Day Gift Ideas

Mother's Day is right around the corner, so I wanted to share some fun Mother's Day gifts I found that you could make in your classroom!

These are easy to make and will look ADORABLE!

1.  Heart Thumb Print Magnet

This first one is a thumbprint project.  This is a quick and easy gift made with an ink pad, paper, and a glass gem!

2.  Mess Free Heart Art

This one can be done a few different ways!  You can place the paper in a gallon sized baggie with paint and create a design or you can let your kiddos paint a piece of paper.  You will cut out a heart and place the painted paper in the back of the paper.

3. Handprint Butterflies

This one doesn't involve paint which can make it a little easier!

4.  Handprint Poem

This one is a cute one that comes with a poem that your kiddos can put their prints all over.  I also like the handprint bouquet. 

5. Handprint Flower Pot

This is another paper craft that uses one handprint and little flowers to create a cute flower pot!

I hope these gave you some ideas of crafts to make with your kiddos!  I have linked all the ideas to blog post with the directions!
