Monday Made It

I'm linking up with Tara for her Monday Made It linky!

I bought these glass rocks and letter stickers from Dollar General!  I haven't ever been to that store before, but they have a lot of great things there!

I took the stickers and put them on the top of each rock.  You can also put them on the bottom!

I bought some Mod Podge to put over the top of the stickers to help them stick better!

When you first put the Mod Podge on it will have a white tint to it, but when it dries it is clear!

You can put magnets on the back or keep them the way they are.  I plan on using them in my Word Work center and have my kiddos use them to build their words.  I went on a letter buying spree, so I have another pack of stickers that I plan on using to make an uppercase and lowercase match game.  I will put the uppercase sticker on one rock and the lowercase on the other.

I FINALLY finished my Kindergarten at Last pack!  I had been working on it for awhile!  It is packed with beginning of the year printables!

I also have "Made It" to 1,000 followers on TpT! :)

Monday Made It~Glue Sponges

I haven't linked up with Tara for a Monday Made It post in awhile, but I was out shopping this weekend and picked up some supplies to make...GLUE SPONGES!  You may have seen these on Kindergarten Smorgasbord and whatever Greg is doing you know is a good thing, so I have jumped on the glue sponges bandwagon.

The containers, glue, and sponges can be found almost anywhere!  Target is my go to for almost everything!

This process is easy and will save you the headache of clogged glue bottles!

Pour some of the glue onto the bottom of the container.  Spread the glue all over the bottom.

I bought a pack of 6 sponges so I could cut the extras in half to cover more of the container.

Pour the extra glue onto the top of the sponges!

Cover and let it sit for a about a week to let it soak into the sponges.  

Your kiddos will then dab the paper they are gluing onto the sponge to get their glue instead of using a billion glue sticks or clogged glue bottles!

Have you used glue sponges before!?

Monday Made It!

I know it is a little early, but I have promised this blog post for awhile!
I am linking up with Tara at 4th Grade Frolics for her Monday Made It linky!

Remember seeing these hanging in my classroom?!  I am going to show you how to make these tissue paper flowers!

You will need 10-12 sheets of tissue paper.  I only had 5 big sheets so I cut them in half and made a pile of 10 sheets.

Accordion fold the tissue paper

Fold the paper in half.

Tie string in the middle of the paper.  I used fishing line to tie mine.  Make sure it is long enough to hang!  Note to self- don't wear a shirt the same color as the tissue paper! Ha!

Cut the ends round.

Pull each piece of paper to the middle one at a time and adjust to make it more like a ball.

The finished product!  Some of them were a little uneven, but you are able to form them and adjust them to make them a ball.

Pretty easy right!?  They look adorable and I have gotten so many compliments about them too!
