Spider Type Printable Cards for Toddlers and Preschoolers

Spider Type Printable Cards for Toddlers and Preschoolers

This week’s book in the Virtual Book Club for Kids is the Very Busy Spider by Eric Carle Eric Carle is a favorite author in this house so we were pretty excited to do something with this book. In fact, later on in our home preschool plans (at this point next year I’m thinking), we’ll do an Eric Carle unit. But, if you just want to base your own unit and study around spiders, instead of Eric Carle, then I have a few suggestions for you:                 & We’ll also be sure to take a walk at some point so we can go look for spider webs and spiders outside. I had wanted to set up a sensory bin, since this seems to be the…

The Beatitudes for Kids Printable Pack

The Beatitudes for Kids Printable Pack

I had notions of grandeur at the beginning of the year to create at least one printable pack per week. I have failed greatly with this goal but I’m going to try and get back on track. We’ll see how it goes! It’s been awhile since I’ve created a Bible based printable pack and this one is definitely close to my heart. The Sermon on the Mount is one of my favorite parts of the Bible and the Beatitudes are one of my favorite parts from the Sermon on the Mount. To get back on track with creating Christian printable packs for kids, I’m going to start with the Sermon on the Mount and I’m so happy to bring you my Beatitudes for Kids mini…

Free Brown Bear Brown Bear Valentine’s Day Cards

I will preface by saying that these are inspired by the children’s book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? and that I am in no way, shape, or form affiliated with Bill Martin Jr. or Eric Carle. We just happen to be fans of the book and I have this clipart that I purchased for a printable pack so I thought- why not! This is my first attempt at creating printable Valentine’s Day cards for kids and I hope to have a few more ready for you soon. I also plan on doing a set of printable packs with the Brown Bear clipart so hopefully we’ll have that soon too. We’ve done tot school very informally this year so far and it’s mostly…

Printable Blog Goal Worksheets

Printable Blog Goal Worksheets

I’m a very goal oriented person. It helps me to put things in perspective and gives me a more clear path as to how to achieve what I want. Sometimes I set small goals, sometimes it’s big goals. And sometimes it’s small goals that lead towards a bigger goal. Whatever the case may be, I’ve found that setting goals helps me out and keeps me on track. This applies to many aspects of my life- be it household, money, or blogging. For example, one of my goals for next year is to earn a steady part time income from blogging. Right now it’s touch and go and I’d love to see that become stable. I have a plan, almost in place, for reaching that goal….

Thanksgiving Shopping Choices

How early do you get your holiday shopping done? For some, it may mean purchasing things throughout the year. For others, it may mean waiting until the last minute. And for others, it may mean waiting until one of the best shopping weekends of the year: Thanksgiving weekend. In the past, it just meant going out for Black Friday and then along came Cyber Monday. Now, there are a handful of stores that start their holiday deals on Thanksgiving. And while this may seem like a controversial move on the part of the retailers, it also opens up a new venue of savings for holiday shoppers. But where do you stand when it comes to Thanksgiving shopping choices? Are you a Black Friday go-getter, a…
