are called to impress the Word of God on our children’s hearts as we
come and go, sit at home, and walk along the road. (Deut. 6:7) Every day
we are given numerous opportunities to point our children to the Lord!
Each day we will be met with opportunities to teach, rebuke, correct,
and train our children in righteousness! The Word of God is our
guidebook! It’s a lamp for our feet and a light for our path! (Ps
119:105) It’s wisdom and instruction. We are to hide it in our hearts so
we can faithfully instruct and teach our children in the way they
should go. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmZtiheimKgD-czjCzigoNg48yEzj_byYVmxUoUBV9RJWVxYLxo4zMCsvRrWKdU9Imv4pWXW6id7B05_zyxVFY0CwJhF8PoTsbQkvgy-y_7OO9kBdqc9JBV589BEqItFUNsqD5yDQIVSnDK9Fi8toDSvjiEP4pkyc6wY6WM5L9tE5kB7VthKVLJkHNniAV/s2700/10.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Deuteronomy 6:7" border="0" data-original-height="2025" data-original-width="2700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmZtiheimKgD-czjCzigoNg48yEzj_byYVmxUoUBV9RJWVxYLxo4zMCsvRrWKdU9Imv4pWXW6id7B05_zyxVFY0CwJhF8PoTsbQkvgy-y_7OO9kBdqc9JBV589BEqItFUNsqD5yDQIVSnDK9Fi8toDSvjiEP4pkyc6wY6WM5L9tE5kB7VthKVLJkHNniAV/s16000/10.png" title="Deuteronomy 6:7" /></a></p><p></p>In our home, when an issue comes

rebuke the wrong behavior as well as Scripture to encourage them in the
right behavior! <p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Lamp & Light Copywork <br /></h2><p>I

a sin or issue arises
in your home, the first place you should turn for wisdom is the Lord.
His Word is full of so much wisdom. You can use this scripture copy work
notebook to help your children learn and commit scripture to memory so
that they can be armed with truth to combat the lies of the enemy. These
verses can serve as reminders for us and our children of the right
behaviors we are to put on, as commanded by the Lord. </p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Lamp & Light Designs<br /></h2><p>Because
I have both a son and daughter and many of you do as well, I wanted to
be sure that I had designs that could work for both so I offer Lamp & Light in both a floral print and a vines/greenery print. Verses are the same
in both sets. This is currently a digital resource that you can print as
many times as you need for your own home and can be purchased from either Teacher's Pay Teachers or Etsy (see links below)<br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKmJ_ycw0srycVKlaiAYeThAuTpCyalfkV7zt-QahCU5C7iTP-4LAvOz3UE63l4f4pQfiEJ1VbyQObmmd5HFxFwx0mVpU5LHZg6WnKXF6zWMft-MkGCkCZ8LY_O9hHwtJZxNt8jY35Wi_S2dc9GdzxzIkvjaHixzARU3475jbN6AKYZH3oWI_q8kyzjwMd/s2700/Lamp%20&%20Light%20Bible%20Verse%20Copywork%20(2).png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2025" data-original-width="2700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKmJ_ycw0srycVKlaiAYeThAuTpCyalfkV7zt-QahCU5C7iTP-4LAvOz3UE63l4f4pQfiEJ1VbyQObmmd5HFxFwx0mVpU5LHZg6WnKXF6zWMft-MkGCkCZ8LY_O9hHwtJZxNt8jY35Wi_S2dc9GdzxzIkvjaHixzARU3475jbN6AKYZH3oWI_q8kyzjwMd/s16000/Lamp%20&%20Light%20Bible%20Verse%20Copywork%20(2).png" /></a></div><br />Purchase Lamp & Light Here <br /></h2></div><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Lamp-Light-Bible-Verse-Copywork-Floral-11003971" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Lamp & Light Floral Print Bible Verse Copywork" border="0" data-original-height="1773" data-original-width="1773" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5jw_FbSpYr4-SHiDJehen6arTLX3dmONlF0vsnVOYMUAqwT9ZJp4twcYOLSYrbm-Vc15PHK_Ajx3woU1Jntyr-9_V0PmhrCAfMvuTH2YibiZzX96ISiZXVllEoKvmkTkFjv4GeAe5arAZ4MLgnDiH1fe3xfZhWmFNBzOJZwvC560lBjMTwrOxlC4m/w400-h400/IMG_9256.JPEG" title="Lamp & Light Floral Print Bible Verse Copywork" width="400" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://letsplaylearngrow.etsy.com/listing/1656231946" target="_blank">Lamp & Light Floral on Etsy</a> | <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Lamp-Light-Bible-Verse-Copywork-Floral-11003971" target="_blank">Lamp & Light Floral on TPT </a></span><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Lamp-Light-Bible-Verse-Copywork-Leaves-11003985" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Lamp & Light Greenery Print Bible Verse Copywork" border="0" data-original-height="1773" data-original-width="1773" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy_4674sKprGw1oZLGnz7Q3pZPmC3IrXlYbWnGl6EuNefiLRH3MJeRoL_NTwbIpBxZzyIxLfnJVx7pnkuGltkr7lhM9jMRpAE6h5dSuZVtqFIv4BtLRhLuEmHGPMDPp_ghc_NETQWkylp2FmjGyIqSDayNVrnDhOGqpdTRa6cZ5wa9g3eUPSFInS5M/w400-h400/IMG_9268.JPEG" title="Lamp & Light Greenery Print Bible Verse Copywork" width="400" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://letsplaylearngrow.etsy.com/listing/1670401955" target="_blank"> </a><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://letsplaylearngrow.etsy.com/listing/1670401955" target="_blank">Lamp & Light Leaves on Etsy</a> | <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Lamp-Light-Bible-Verse-Copywork-Leaves-11003985" target="_blank">Lamp & Light Leaves on TPT </a></span> </div><p></p><p></p><p>I

God was going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah he told Lot and his wife to
not look back...while Lot kept going his wife did not. She looked back
and because of her disobedience she was turned into a pillar of salt. So
why did she turn back? Because she was unable to fully let go. She let
her heart be led away by the false attractions and pleasures of this
world. The treasures she had stored up were treasures on this earth and
not those in heaven. The position of her heart led to severe
consequences. Matthew 6:24 says "No one can serve 2 masters." She was
unable to full obey God because she was holding onto pieces of her old
life. </div><div> </div><div></div><div>Now fast forward to Abraham and Isaac.
Isaac is born and God tells Abraham to take his son and sacrifice him.
Say what? This child, which God promised Abraham and then gave him, is
now going to be sacrificed? What did Abraham do? He packed up everything
he needed and took Isaac to sacrifice him. He didn't hesitate. He
didn't plead with God for his sons life. He didn't freak out questioning
God. He willingly and humbly obeyed. Wow!!! Abraham trusted God with
his life, his sons life. He loved God so greatly that he was willing to
sacrifice his son because that was what God asked him to do. This
precious gift he had waited so long for. </div><div><br /></div><div>The
posture of Abraham's heart is completely different than that of Lot's
wife isn't it? Abraham, even though he loved his son so incredibly much,
loved God more and showed that in his obedience. His treasures were
being stored up in heaven not on earth. Lot's wife loved the things of
this world more and showed that in her disobedience. </div><div> </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIRML_JoAPcUDpxPA6uOY5ObFT5wzbBIufwyyPANsfkBYHpAeeouVYmPBeQQVx76-5oJd1rcZM6oGkSKXD00tZ__5OXnHOQD39uAAfHGbjcQOHOpyByk-MKJA2irxF-sEUIiPtxaex2tG78X82DtVMcxEPuKdKWvlSZu9mmvte0wpwSq_K7I4yrU8I/s1080/No%20one%20can%20serve%20two%20masters%20matthew%20624.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Matthew 6:34" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIRML_JoAPcUDpxPA6uOY5ObFT5wzbBIufwyyPANsfkBYHpAeeouVYmPBeQQVx76-5oJd1rcZM6oGkSKXD00tZ__5OXnHOQD39uAAfHGbjcQOHOpyByk-MKJA2irxF-sEUIiPtxaex2tG78X82DtVMcxEPuKdKWvlSZu9mmvte0wpwSq_K7I4yrU8I/s16000/No%20one%20can%20serve%20two%20masters%20matthew%20624.png" title="Matthew 6:34" /></a></div>So
again I ask: Where do your treasures lie? Have you stored up treasures
for yourself here on earth or are you storing up treasures in heaven?
Have you made idols out of things in your life that you would struggle
to give up if asked to do so? If the Lord asked you to give up something
right now (insert your most favorite thing in the world...maybe it's
coffee or social media or your kids) could you do it without hesitation?
Do you love God with your entire heart that you would willingly give up
any of those things or more right now for Him and not look back? </div><div><br /></div><div>This
week I encourage you to evaluate your treasures and the posture of your
heart. Is there anything in your life that you have placed higher than
God? (drinking coffee, social media, your phone, playing sports,
watching sports, binging tv, your kids, your husband, leading this
committee, having the on trend clothes etc.) Pray that the Lord would
show you the things that you are elevating higher than Him and then ask
the Lord to help you get your priorities straight. God first. Everything
else after that.<br /></div>Heidihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17933435015971812497noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057892306259387686.post-63780085598849286312024-02-01T15:09:00.002-05:002024-02-01T16:57:27.832-05:00Never Early, Never Late, Always Right On Time<p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTHjABZGEKr6OBbISnMI-j7UeAO77lMAn93vg_pOw25D6J8eUaXRqHCfVCL9WsZ6jsN37Xis6P7fG7fbUC8Wen8lZaF66VK39EIvvrjWC2rtif8g5t3XgqZwt9bU_aKX7D0J_OE5znUroktCwxklnVTzruhtB61fybEQ2ot16041hlNTfE7VeccKHQ/s1600/girl-4582898_1920.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1001" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTHjABZGEKr6OBbISnMI-j7UeAO77lMAn93vg_pOw25D6J8eUaXRqHCfVCL9WsZ6jsN37Xis6P7fG7fbUC8Wen8lZaF66VK39EIvvrjWC2rtif8g5t3XgqZwt9bU_aKX7D0J_OE5znUroktCwxklnVTzruhtB61fybEQ2ot16041hlNTfE7VeccKHQ/w640-h400/girl-4582898_1920.jpg" width="640" /></a></p><div></div><div>Have you ever been in a period of waiting?

great nation with descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky.
Abraham doesn't fully understand it because he and Sarah are very old
and childless, but he obeys and does as the Lord commands him to and he
trusts with expectant faith in the promises God has given him. </div><div> </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9NmHSLUINxzY3F0dYude9XYIfYdEjgH29te2gNUjq4s1FWnfdeyi4jCCHneR4i-o-gh4RzazboQ2jPOZgA2PvW9r5HfgvGECyB-e7xT-5B4Hy_a_Lr4QIbTRgZzNjRFsZ_PZr52fbXH-CGJ5GZQAWPddtQ5UKTztbJoW60giirdq3W_gFMU57VRQW/s1920/God%20Keeps%20His%20Promises%20always%20right%20on%20time.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="God Keeps His Promises...He is always right on time" border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" height="803" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9NmHSLUINxzY3F0dYude9XYIfYdEjgH29te2gNUjq4s1FWnfdeyi4jCCHneR4i-o-gh4RzazboQ2jPOZgA2PvW9r5HfgvGECyB-e7xT-5B4Hy_a_Lr4QIbTRgZzNjRFsZ_PZr52fbXH-CGJ5GZQAWPddtQ5UKTztbJoW60giirdq3W_gFMU57VRQW/w452-h803/God%20Keeps%20His%20Promises%20always%20right%20on%20time.png" title="God Keeps His Promises...He is always right on time" width="452" /></a></div> <br /></div><div></div><div>Many
years passed, Abraham and Sarah grew older, and still had no child nor
any understanding of how God would fulfill his promise without actually
having a child. They trusted God, but in their humanness they tried to
take matters into their own hands and Ishmael was born. They thought
this child would help to fulfill God's promise, but this was not the
case. God had a plan and that plan was not going to be fulfilled through
Ishmael. Why? Because it would not have given the glory to God. </div><div><br /></div><div>In 1 Corinthians 1:28-31 it says<b> "God
chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things-and the
things that are not-to nullify the things that are, so that no one may
boast before him. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who
has become for us wisdom from God-that is, our righteousness, holiness
and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: "Let the one who boasts
boast in the Lord." </b></div><div><b> </b></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUJZ1ZxdWqb0aMRf0Bo2S8VOySaYrNSJMWv0KKAgn7zlEP0uLxKGO-_PTgQIdI5-E3HfInWYK6YL7UwAr8TNvzvIRybnwmVlQi2EYd1byGXLSFBQL6wONignulVBF5PAO5jB9aRgN9wp4YTdxgSvog5fsagS8texopjk0TYue4n65fivKwjpt-DFjD/s1080/IG%20OHH.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="1 Corinthians 1:31" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUJZ1ZxdWqb0aMRf0Bo2S8VOySaYrNSJMWv0KKAgn7zlEP0uLxKGO-_PTgQIdI5-E3HfInWYK6YL7UwAr8TNvzvIRybnwmVlQi2EYd1byGXLSFBQL6wONignulVBF5PAO5jB9aRgN9wp4YTdxgSvog5fsagS8texopjk0TYue4n65fivKwjpt-DFjD/s16000/IG%20OHH.png" title="1 Corinthians 1:31" /></a></div><b><br /></b></div><div>God wants all of
our boasting (bragging) to be about what God does for us, not what we do
for ourselves. He wants us to give him the glory or praise for the
blessings in our lives and not act like we brought them on ourselves. </div><div><br /></div><div>God's
promise would not be fulfilled through Ishmael because God would not
have been given the glory. By waiting until Abraham and Sarah were very
old, then the fulfillment of His promise could have only come from God, a
true miracle, with all praise and glory going to God. Abraham's
situation looked bleak. How could he and Sarah have a baby when they
were so old? Your situation may look bleak like Abraham and Sarah's. It
may seem impossible or seem like God is silent, but friends with GOD all
things are possible. He is never early or never late in keeping His
promises. He is always right on time and you can trust that He will do
what He says He will do and He will do it right on time. He is working
in the waiting. He is working in what seems like the silence. Whether it
takes a day or it takes 30 years, He is faithful and will fulfill His
promises for His glory and His glory alone. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>So
if you are in a period of waiting of any length of time at all I
encourage you with this today. Trust and have faith that God will
fulfill that promise at the exact time it needs to be fulfilled. He
promised and fulfilled His promise to Abraham at the exact time it
needed to happen. He is never early. He is never late. He is right on
time. Give Him glory in the waiting and give Him all the glory when His
promise is fulfilled. <br /></div>Heidihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17933435015971812497noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057892306259387686.post-13248010208052892802024-02-01T12:57:00.004-05:002024-02-01T15:17:12.235-05:00Free Printable Bible Verse Art 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18<p></p><p>A few years ago the Lord stirred in my heart to share more. To share more of my heart and more of my home. I also had an itch to create more than just kid activities and materials and get back to creating things like digital prints and invitations and "pretty" things like I had many years back. I like to keep things organized so in my logical brain I needed to keep it separate, especially since it looks "different" than my kid activities; however, I soon found out that it is incredibly hard to navigate multiple websites and social medias for both and decision paralysis quickly set in and I stopped sharing and stopped creating. It has become clear that combining everything and sharing on this platform, one I have been building and pouring my heart into for over a decade, is the direction I need to take. Nothing will change here. I will still be sharing kid activities and children printables and resources, but I will also be sharing more of my heart and my home as well. I will be sharing more of our journey in homeschooling, homemaking, intentional parenting and living and so much more. I will be sharing my Heart+ Home design creations and whatever else the Lord lays on my heart to share. I will still be Let's Play.Learn.Grow with a side of Heart + Home. If you are here for kid content then that is the majority of what you will still see, but if you are here for the Heart & Home content you will be able to access it via the <a href="https://www.letsplaylearngrow.com/search/label/Heart">Heart + Home</a> tab at the top of the page. No matter what you are here for, I pray that you find it useful and a blessing to your home, classroom, and heart. <br /></p><p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">FREE PRINT<br /></h2><p>"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 <br /></p><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-QVX6O6OwMBxr0jBnsf-tOvlb_OZkBNs63HuWSnBpWqAYUIIbQ1XXFf4LUJ5vlnvxW4Jrgg3HS9IEUzA0BpRitqWeVlO6LAcCMP8wiNvUb8phimTXNw6LdWkX_kd9CiHl0gGqrjWwE__DEIB2WwHJy10aojVerkFJBY0SEEWESVaPdJxEy_xkJjV-192c/s1920/1%20Thessalonians%205%20Free%20Bible%20Verse%20Print.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Free Print | Heart + Home" border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1920" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-QVX6O6OwMBxr0jBnsf-tOvlb_OZkBNs63HuWSnBpWqAYUIIbQ1XXFf4LUJ5vlnvxW4Jrgg3HS9IEUzA0BpRitqWeVlO6LAcCMP8wiNvUb8phimTXNw6LdWkX_kd9CiHl0gGqrjWwE__DEIB2WwHJy10aojVerkFJBY0SEEWESVaPdJxEy_xkJjV-192c/w640-h480/1%20Thessalonians%205%20Free%20Bible%20Verse%20Print.png" title="1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Free Print | Heart + Home" width="640" /></a></div>While our situations are ever changing, God is never changing. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. No matter what circumstances our day brings, we are called to rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances. Making the conscious decision to do what God says can greatly change our perspective and we will have an easier time being joyful and thankful even when things are hard. <p></p><p>He calls us to pray. He wants to hear from us in the good times and the bad. We need God. We need to depend on him and can turn to him in prayer no matter what. He hears our prayers and always answers according to His will. Praying and waiting humbles us before God and teaches us to rely on his plan instead of our own. </p><p>Thankfulness can change our hearts and truly change our perspective.
Paul tells us we need to give thanks IN all circumstances. In all
circumstances, we can be thankful for God's presence in our lives and
thank him for the good that he will accomplish through the trial. <br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSFQoSTrHl1_NeIMoNSKv6m_arJPgpiBPA6WdY0HhEUg4VyDDCYLH3pTfCY8Pmvrgf0-p2RdTElWgg6oEzN1YudtJFdcsHZd-HDTpRq_ptElAW1giqB8y0efExNL8xODI_o8pdZ067hwC_5Rn3bSaZ9J0bIE7x1ojFTVseUBWFUN6LTfQmeQuzRmPiEVpL/s1920/1%20Thessalonians%205%20Bible%20Verse%20Free%20Print.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" height="790" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSFQoSTrHl1_NeIMoNSKv6m_arJPgpiBPA6WdY0HhEUg4VyDDCYLH3pTfCY8Pmvrgf0-p2RdTElWgg6oEzN1YudtJFdcsHZd-HDTpRq_ptElAW1giqB8y0efExNL8xODI_o8pdZ067hwC_5Rn3bSaZ9J0bIE7x1ojFTVseUBWFUN6LTfQmeQuzRmPiEVpL/w444-h790/1%20Thessalonians%205%20Bible%20Verse%20Free%20Print.png" width="444" /></a></div><p></p><p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE PRINT</h2><div id="fd-form-601044fc463bdb11bc238878"></div>

I was longing to be creative, but I wasn't sure what that would look like with a toddler and an infant. I kept seeing all of these North Pole breakfasts floating around to welcome back the family's elf and wanted to take that concept and make it work for our family as we do not participate in the Santa/elf side of Christmas. I love a good themed dinner and from all those things our Welcome to December dinner was born. It has looked different each year as our seasons of life have changed, but what hasn't change are the memories we have created and the joy it brings each of us and the joy we have when looking forward to the start of December. If you are looking for an alternative to the North Pole Breakfasts or looking to start a new family tradition, I highly suggest starting a Welcome to December dinner! <br /><span></span><p></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><h1 style="text-align: left;">Welcome to December Dinners<br /></h1><p>As I mentioned before, our Welcome to December Dinner has looked different each year. I typically like to start by figuring out what theme I want to go with for the food. My kids LOVE themed food so I like starting with that and going from there. And then from there I will decorate our table, usually with things I already have, but sometimes I will purchase items. I save everything I can to reuse for future years. Some years are elaborate and some are super simple, yet we all still have such fond memories of each one. Some years we have made a whole day out of activities and others are simply just our dinner. And one thing I have learned over the years, it doesn't have to be perfect (a little secret...it never will be) and that sometimes you have to pivot and make the best of your situations, but it's the people and the time spent together that makes the memories. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

studying any topic, I love to research and write my own nonfiction text
to use with my children. Thanksgiving is a subject that I am not expert in and am continually learning about so the reader I have include is a very basic nonfiction reader along with a student reader that has a general synopsis of the first Thanksgiving. I highly suggest that you pull books from a variety of different sources to discuss the topic of the First Thanksgiving with your children. My kids love to have their own booklet so my Nonfiction text
resources always include a student reader that follows the exact text of
the colored book and is in black and white so the children can color it
when you are done. This unit also includes a 5 senses Thanksgiving Day read/write response booklet and Thanksgiving vocabulary cards. <br /></div><div data-paragraph="true"><br /></div><div data-paragraph="true"><h3 style="text-align: left;">Thanksgiving Turkey Craft</h3><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://letsplaylearngrow.etsy.com/listing/1600073006" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHZlej0bC_FNq_vO8CS0J8KlnKLXfZzcdOaZtW517JBRck_UXY15gzaCWMc2WUxHO1Ynot4wjLKKo0hn0Mx2niQttoJ0GWLIJ4a24_Yjv7s5T8Zn_wqYVE_wdFO5Jb1R__hkXvD7RH3M1ZmedLIScoRQ0e6rfnG-VNLss5q70pCtECynmUVnWWMp_XDMx3/w360-h640/Thanksgiving%20Turkey%20Craft.png" width="360" /></a></div><br />This craft was one of my first crafts I created for my shops and still one of my favorite crafts I have ever created and the kids LOVE him.

We have been doing these since my kids were itty bitty and they never get old, just simply change with time and as my babies get bigger. Activity mats are simply a fun little activity mat with a variety of different activities on them for your kids to complete and enjoy and can include anything you would like to do with them. They can be themed or not themed. Activity mats are simply a fun way of changing up the traditional pen and paper activity sheets. <a href="https://www.letsplaylearngrow.com/2023/02/activity-mats-for-kids.html">Read all about Activity Mats and check out our other mats here.</a> Today I am sharing with you some of the Thanksgiving Themed activity mats we have completed over the years. You don't have to be a fancy artist or a super creative person to put activity mats together. You simply have to have a heart for you kiddos and you can use things you have on hand to put them together. <br /><span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><h1 style="text-align: left;">Thanksgiving Activity Mat Ideas</h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPxpYknud-6BnT0C2DL_MGWRzIl4tSM15dTXrI82FSk8pjefN_EBiDh4AZq7GzeRxKDef6e9oV7dEwhaZTIsdwCMC_mBjDyMu4Z5ljRdUnmCvFcAu8dc6oQmQNIViyrRL5ZhzrjhCECTBUe0IGQR6tKEEgqUcPCPpqMSPpTCgrj3nW1_2lHxFFBqxbxFCQ/s1920/Thanksgiving%20Activity%20Mats%20Post.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Thanksgiving Activity Mats for Kids" border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPxpYknud-6BnT0C2DL_MGWRzIl4tSM15dTXrI82FSk8pjefN_EBiDh4AZq7GzeRxKDef6e9oV7dEwhaZTIsdwCMC_mBjDyMu4Z5ljRdUnmCvFcAu8dc6oQmQNIViyrRL5ZhzrjhCECTBUe0IGQR6tKEEgqUcPCPpqMSPpTCgrj3nW1_2lHxFFBqxbxFCQ/w360-h640/Thanksgiving%20Activity%20Mats%20Post.png" title="Thanksgiving Activity Mats for Kids" width="360" /></a></div></h1><h2 style="text-align: left;">Thanksgiving Mat Supplies & Prep<br /></h2><p style="text-align: left;">The supplies for any activity mat will vary depending on what you are going to be practicing, doing etc, but the very basic supplies always consist of a large piece of paper or paper roll and art supplies. </p><p style="text-align: left;">Once you have your supplies prepped, then you need to determine what activities or skills you would like to practice and focus on. When we have holiday themed mats, I tend toward more fun, hands on crafty activities, but have also been known to throw in some "academic" skill activities as well. You can map these out on a piece of paper or simply just starting laying things out and drawing. Whatever works best for you. </p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Thanksgiving Activity Mat Ideas</h2><p style="text-align: left;">We have made and completed numerous Thanksgiving mats over the years and I have compiled some pictures of some of them that I could find pictures for. We make a whole day out of our Thanksgiving activities and it has become such a fun tradtion.

I love being with and tending to the works of the home and the people in my home. I also love creating memories and traditions for our family. They bring me so much joy, not only to put together, but to see the pure joy on my children's faces is something I can't even describe. They look forward to our traditions year after year and I pray that they take the traditions we have in our home with them into their homes when they have families of their own. <p></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXzCo8ccIDS_DguK_UeLL4m4_HRTztN_dufXzvZIf1A7NJEgGFxUzZaGGmP6QX0v4JjVwnUnjCTE9a94sT_kQTLgozcAugpw5NCt0vQ4FgCMEdERKJnUEnYZTFAKr7kbNw3rmBycAFPpzZVHj1GhwT5ZgDg8ei910hPXJdUkomxgtahuuDsUd60xL14NI0/s1920/Thanksgiving%20Family%20Traditions.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Thanksgiving Family Traditions, Food & Activities for Kids" border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXzCo8ccIDS_DguK_UeLL4m4_HRTztN_dufXzvZIf1A7NJEgGFxUzZaGGmP6QX0v4JjVwnUnjCTE9a94sT_kQTLgozcAugpw5NCt0vQ4FgCMEdERKJnUEnYZTFAKr7kbNw3rmBycAFPpzZVHj1GhwT5ZgDg8ei910hPXJdUkomxgtahuuDsUd60xL14NI0/w360-h640/Thanksgiving%20Family%20Traditions.png" title="Thanksgiving Family Traditions, Food & Activities for Kids" width="360" /></a></div><p></p><h1 style="text-align: left;">Favorite Thanksgiving Tradition</h1><p style="text-align: left;">By far my most favorite tradition we do as a family is our Turkey outfits. When my son was born, I started making both of my kids these outfits and it's my absolute favorite. We are able to get several years out of each outfit. I use HTV and my cricut to create the design and then iron them onto the blank shirts/dresses. We take a yearly picture and then I make a collage to see all the years together. I am hoping my kids allow me to put them in these when they are adults because I love it so much. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgSSzUcF6de4ofMcorv6q_fC6HxI_NDy4oFeP8xHQYsyMq7ab4vasEOmbpkDfbJ_kwln_q_G35WauQ6ZPDUhkkIGXOwlhJYJ02xRl2DVNtCrt1tE0dg5fuRMNqhyTQtrS5MR0r8Yyr6hMQ_HRForufbYFcJwgChABJE0bp3uA1sgNUKlYBI2gQ9iSuHOyB/s825/Thanksgiving%20Outfit%20Tradition.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Thanksgiving outfit ideas for kids" border="0" data-original-height="825" data-original-width="625" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgSSzUcF6de4ofMcorv6q_fC6HxI_NDy4oFeP8xHQYsyMq7ab4vasEOmbpkDfbJ_kwln_q_G35WauQ6ZPDUhkkIGXOwlhJYJ02xRl2DVNtCrt1tE0dg5fuRMNqhyTQtrS5MR0r8Yyr6hMQ_HRForufbYFcJwgChABJE0bp3uA1sgNUKlYBI2gQ9iSuHOyB/w484-h640/Thanksgiving%20Outfit%20Tradition.png" title="Thanksgiving outfit ideas for kids" width="484" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;"></p><h1 style="text-align: left;">Thanksgiving Themed Food Ideas <br /></h1><p>We have never been big fans of turkey, so making a big Thanksgiving dinner was never top of our list to do, nor do we have big get togethers with family for Thanksgiving so one of the things I started early on was to find ways to turn our normal everyday foods into fun themed foods for the kids. It takes some extra time, but oh my how they absolutely LOVE and eat up (pun intended) the food when I make them look like fun themed things. My favorite part is being creative by using things we already have on hand and making them look like turkeys. Here is a peek at some of the foods we have had over the years. </p><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYyxvBukfoiZ0thJ3ZLZolwC-gUvHNTY7o2vFFFZY1tGXiKoZ-UUPIIflFIcL4HgygLvVq3lf6v72b2lpdX-q7N6cpRrP-MCOSnhrkWl1vo1kWJ3u-47IWSb6EZjIKpzlUx5CGkd7AUqtSDImL5imv1fx7rWtPeEIYptcrnEWidSLFfeDb3w1i2ddZoqxt/s825/Thanksgiving%20Food%20Ideas%20(3).png" style="margin-left: 1em;

The kids LOVE to wait for us all to go downstairs together to see what I set up each year. I look forward to surprising them each year. We have completed so many fun activities over the years with some including: painting a cardboard turkey, creating turkeys from cardboard and misc. craft supplies, coffee filter and teeny footprint turkeys (you can never have too many keepsake crafts), sticky paper turkey feathers, activity mats, misc. carfts, and turkey target practicing with our favorite nerf guns.

I recently asked my kiddos what they were wanting for Christmas and both of my kids had a couple things in mind, things they have wanted for years that they haven't gotten yet, but otherwise they said that they didn't really need anything because they loved the things they already had and didn't need more of them. <span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p></p><p>Our kids play all day every day. They can spend hours playing with only one or two toys and then typically play that way for days on end. We are very minimal with toys and the toys and items we have purchased for our children over the years have been very intentional and planned out. Our children do not lack in toys and I have never once heard my children say "I am bored." Having less toys and being intentional about the toys and items we do have in our home has truly been such a gift over the years. I am truly so thankful for the peace we have in our home regarding toys. As I was thinking about all the gift guides I see around, often full of things just to have something to buy, I wanted to provide something different. I wanted to provide an intentional list of tried and true gift ideas (with a few wish list items) that my children play with nonstop that I truly think every child, when given the chance to play, will love for years to come. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaLQ7dXTmyuXrOhVwAQzinlEyt5nLvlRt9FTWYoRpMmrXdGOQlxl5PlG2D9fGeAb6B7IXRVW6f7ZdkBkMjcGQyuMS1wG_SB_yfu8ZZ2nxKHzjg19c_HE9_n6EOADOKdjcTDkdsTJFO0zQ6vElsg0D6ZXXDOh-ZLOkTOyxBhaSDCzVCxPPdvZyvOr-gHv05/s1500/7%20Intentional%20Gift%20Guides%20for%20Kids.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="7 Intentional GIft Guides for Kids" border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaLQ7dXTmyuXrOhVwAQzinlEyt5nLvlRt9FTWYoRpMmrXdGOQlxl5PlG2D9fGeAb6B7IXRVW6f7ZdkBkMjcGQyuMS1wG_SB_yfu8ZZ2nxKHzjg19c_HE9_n6EOADOKdjcTDkdsTJFO0zQ6vElsg0D6ZXXDOh-ZLOkTOyxBhaSDCzVCxPPdvZyvOr-gHv05/w426-h640/7%20Intentional%20Gift%20Guides%20for%20Kids.png" title="7 Intentional GIft Guides for Kids" width="426" /></a></div><p><b>I have compiled a list of gift ideas for girls and boys in the 6-10 year age bracket, for kids in general (these are our absolute favorite toys), for the creative, for stocking stuffers, and picture and chapter book recommendations.

If my kids aren't outside using their scooters or playing catch they are inside and have at least one, if not all three of our building sets out. </p><p style="text-align: left;">1. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/49H33W2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Wooden Blocks</a>:</b> These Melissa and Doug wooden blocks are the best. These are one of those things we will hold onto for our future grandchildren. They are so well made and are played with many times a week. </p><p style="text-align: left;">2. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3su8WVG" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Picasso Tiles</a>: </b>Magnetic tiles are one my kids favorite toys and have stood the test of time. This particular set has withstood hundreds of hours of play and knocking down and have been turned into everything from castles to nativity scenes to present boxes and more. So much fun. </p><p style="text-align: left;">3. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3MF87Am" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Knex</a>:</b> These were my husbands childhood favorite toy and I am so glad that he saved all of his sets because my kids build something out of these every single day. Knex are by far superior to Legos in my husbands opinion. They are so versatile and can be used to build so many things whether from directions or on your own. <br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">4. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/475Z2J3" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kinetic Sand</a>:</b> The kids received their first little treasure chest of kinetic sand 3 years ago from a friend and that Christmas we bought them a 2 lb bag of it to share and it has provided hours upon hours of fun. Once we got Kinetic Sand we haven't bought or made playdough. Just the other day my kids spent 6 hours straight playing with Kinetic sand and turned around and did the same thing the next day. </p><p style="text-align: left;">5. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/47cy8z5" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Scooter</a>:</b> We love our Razer Scooters and have several of them so that when friends come over they have some to play on to. They have stood the test of time and all the zigging and zagging outside and in our unfinished basement. </p><p style="text-align: left;">6. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/40wBMBs" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Scooter Board</a>:</b> Does anyone remember Scooter Board day in gym class? It was always my favorite day when we saw the Scooter board cart out. My kids absolutely love theirs. </p><p style="text-align: left;">7. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3u2vg9e" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Toss & Catch</a>:</b> This is another one of those things that is a major blast from the past moment. This was one of my favorite things to play as a kid and now its one of my kids favorite toys to play with outside. </p><blockquote><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><a href="https://www.amazon.com/shop/letsplaylearngrow/list/1SU2YL0ESBV4H?ref_=aipsflist_aipsfletsplaylearngrow" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SHOP THE ENTIRE KIDS GUIDE HERE</a></b></span><br /></p></blockquote><h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>Gift Guide for Girls</b></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoT_Rtw4iAwTxTIlHsyEvrshJjn5Rpmyqxg7U5RfZVBZcjmUdj962BFKZQg7qK_Y_S7KTM3fVoVFrbE8hzbVxNphuKQ-brJKVuBJmd5V9jq_Gwgt2RuoH4xeaqW998HGw1nw4E61xg-6Zxc0emZcsB8vaJBoDGjisL70KR_63pKu_zUaoeS5LT40zTRVz4/s1500/Gift%20Guide-Girls.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Girls Gift Guide | Boys Holiday Gift Guide" border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoT_Rtw4iAwTxTIlHsyEvrshJjn5Rpmyqxg7U5RfZVBZcjmUdj962BFKZQg7qK_Y_S7KTM3fVoVFrbE8hzbVxNphuKQ-brJKVuBJmd5V9jq_Gwgt2RuoH4xeaqW998HGw1nw4E61xg-6Zxc0emZcsB8vaJBoDGjisL70KR_63pKu_zUaoeS5LT40zTRVz4/w426-h640/Gift%20Guide-Girls.png" title="Girls Gift Guide | Boys Holiday Gift Guide" width="426" /></a></div></b></h2><p style="text-align: left;">Girly, imaginative, Jesus loving, old soul. That is how I would describe my sweet daughter and all of these gifts are things she has or would love to have. In a world that is pushing girls to be "older" than they are and not valuing them in their childhood, I am on a mission to protect my daughter for as long as I can. So when she wants dolls and hair bows and has a desire to own enough Prairie style dresses for every day of the week and then some that is what you will find her with. </p><p style="text-align: left;">1. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/46aJBh8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Prairie Dress</a></b>: Like I mentioned above, my daughter is on a mission to own a prairie dress for each day of the week and this is the next one on her list. She loves all things Prairie and Colonial times. </p><p style="text-align: left;">2. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3Qwu2uI" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Velvet Bows</a></b>: I love how simple yet sophisticated these sweet velvet bows are. They take you from little girl to little big older little girl haha. </p><p style="text-align: left;">3. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3QTxXTA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bow Sets</a>:</b> Adding bows to braids or cute little piggies or just in your hair to accessorize is my favorite for my daughter. This simple little set is just darling. </p><p style="text-align: left;">4. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/462AK1a" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bible Cover</a>:</b> If its floral and cute it checks the box for both me and my daughter and this Bible cover is the cutest. Our son uses his Daddy's old Bible Cover and so I would love to get my daughter one of her own to use for her Bible. </p><p style="text-align: left;">5.<b> <a href="https://amzn.to/40ucAvj" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sticker by Number Words of Jesus</a>:</b> We LOVE these Sticker by Number books in our house and when I saw this Words of Jesus one I knew that my daughter needed it. They are perfect for that 7-12+ year old range. </p><p style="text-align: left;">6.<b> <a href="https://amzn.to/40y7uOH" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Purses</a>:</b> Our son bought these for our daughter last year for Christmas and she carries one every time she goes to church. She loves picking out which one goes with her outfit and shoes and its the sweetest little purse for a couple little trinkets. It makes the perfect little accessory. </p><p style="text-align: left;">7. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/49vEMC4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">18 Inch Doll</a></b>: I remember the first time my daughter saw an American Girl. From that moment forward she was determined to get a "doll with hair" as she called it and now she has 3. While the ones she owns are from Walmart and Target, she was helping me pick out one to share with you and she absolutely loved the outfit on this one. <br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">8. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3QTNlPN" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instant Camera</a>:</b> This is a wish gift for my daughter. Many of her friends have them and she loves looking at the sweet pictures they have taken together. Another one of those blast from the past moments for me as I remember LOVING taking pictures with ours growing up and watching the picture show up after a few minutes. </p><p style="text-align: left;">9. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3sCUXwG" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Roller Blades</a>: </b>Another wish gift for her is Roller Blades. She is determined to learn how to use them without falling. I also suggest investing in a good set of elbow and knee pads too. </p><blockquote><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/shop/letsplaylearngrow/list/2R0QAB65REG8N?ref_=aipsflist_aipsfletsplaylearngrow" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>SHOP THE ENTIRE GIRLS GUIDE HERE</b></a></span><br /></p></blockquote><h2 style="text-align: left;"></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>Gift Guide for Boys</b></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj95CLgu3FU-xlJlITcFIB-9Ifum1fDUl7xhbNkk8coYKqT9o9iOqMDYj6HaPIvszrMqZBzzSYy4Xs6PVswL_DQE__AA-014UOj4l6A4uMNCNBHGz4D-QmI8GpoABQlqi93ZhIgw0TLn-C-l3plk9dlbVSXJ0tBX1yu9L7UJ1uqQoAIAW1zB_PkiGT5bbzA/s1500/Gift%20Guide-Boys.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Boys Gift Guide | Boys Holiday Gift Guide" border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj95CLgu3FU-xlJlITcFIB-9Ifum1fDUl7xhbNkk8coYKqT9o9iOqMDYj6HaPIvszrMqZBzzSYy4Xs6PVswL_DQE__AA-014UOj4l6A4uMNCNBHGz4D-QmI8GpoABQlqi93ZhIgw0TLn-C-l3plk9dlbVSXJ0tBX1yu9L7UJ1uqQoAIAW1zB_PkiGT5bbzA/w426-h640/Gift%20Guide-Boys.png" title="Boys Gift Guide | Boys Holiday Gift Guide" width="426" /></a></div></b></h2><p style="text-align: left;">Can't forget my strong, honorable, rough and tumble little guy. If it moves, shoots, or builds you can almost guarantee he will love it. These gifts are something I feel like all boys request or show an interest in at some point in their lives. </p><p style="text-align: left;">1. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3T3Mi18" target="_blank">Remote Control Car</a>:</b> This little car is the BEST one that we have had and it is used like crazy in our home. It's my sons favorite toy of all time. This little guy zooms around and twists and turns all around. If you have tried purchasing reasonably priced RC cars then you know they tend to break quickly, but this one has been used hard for well over a year and is still going strong and is an amazing price too. <br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">2. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3SyyhIA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hot Wheels Track</a>:</b> We purchased the basic set of pieces for him and bought a simple curve set and he uses it to build is own tracks all through the house. He is requesting more because he is determined to make a track throughout the whole house. I love that he is not restricted to only the few twists and turns in "premade sets". He pairs them with all his Hot Wheels cars that were his daddys and he has an absolute blast. </p><p style="text-align: left;">3. Lego Creation <a href="https://amzn.to/3QxL1wH" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Set 1</b></a> - <b><a href="https://amzn.to/47sgYgx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Set 2</a></b> - <a href="https://amzn.to/49w6lLp" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Set 3</b></a>: In addition to our large collection of basic Lego Pieces, my son loves these little Lego Creation sets. He creates the cars with the directions and then he loves the challenge of using the pieces to build and create his own cars. </p><p style="text-align: left;">4. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/49uwcU8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rival Nerf Gun</a>:</b> We absolutely LOVE the new Nerf BALL guns. We have replaced all of our dart guns with the ball guns and love how easy they are to use and love that the balls do not break constantly or get jammed like the darts would. The <a href="https://amzn.to/3QxCb1U" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rival Nerf balls</a> make the most perfect stocking stuff too. <br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">5. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3QwoC2K" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Light Sabers</a>:</b> Light Sabers have been at the top of my little guys wish list for a while. He watches select Mandalorian and Star Wars episodes with his daddy and plays it all day long. </p><p style="text-align: left;">6. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3Syry1g" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Drum Pad</a>:</b> This is another one of those wishlist items and have heard wonderful things about this set. My little guy turns everything into a drum and as I am typing this he is drumming away to the music in his bedroom at rest. He would love to learn how to play the drums and I think this would be a great beginning system for him. </p><p style="text-align: left;">7. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/40ygcfR" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Real Tool Set</a>:</b> If you have a kiddo who loves to tinker, giving them a REAL tool set is a wonderful option. We are always trying to track down our own personal tools when our little guy takes off with them so we are thinking of getting him his own tool set. </p><blockquote><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/shop/letsplaylearngrow/list/3BXT13LXHADOH?ref_=aipsflist_aipsfletsplaylearngrow" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>SHOP THE ENTIRE BOYS GUIDE HERE</b></a></span><br /></p></blockquote><h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>Gift Guide for the Creative</b></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFrCegdRRTmx1MqC4ssX40jPZCZeoXN7Re8VRUgj9Rhplvr74BTlf76C4Td4pTx5vhZ91xUP87MOmK4w_VQdQf82oztzodAg1oPFWT0j40vhkFIj8pNHXrG_5GRg6xQRLRe-1yZMWPLGkp4WjnfPAeIP_Q_TdBIxwhIUVqz8-RnroCxe8HAae68VripuIP/s1500/Gift%20Guide-Creative.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Holiday Gift Guide for Creative Kids" border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFrCegdRRTmx1MqC4ssX40jPZCZeoXN7Re8VRUgj9Rhplvr74BTlf76C4Td4pTx5vhZ91xUP87MOmK4w_VQdQf82oztzodAg1oPFWT0j40vhkFIj8pNHXrG_5GRg6xQRLRe-1yZMWPLGkp4WjnfPAeIP_Q_TdBIxwhIUVqz8-RnroCxe8HAae68VripuIP/w426-h640/Gift%20Guide-Creative.png" title="Holiday Gift Guide for Creative Kids" width="426" /></a></div></b></h2><p style="text-align: left;">If you have a creative in your house like I do, you will want to add some of these gifts to your list. </p><p style="text-align: left;">1. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/462bPL6" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Origami Set</a>:</b> My daughter loves making paper crafts. We have never tried origami before. This set looks like the perfect set to get started.

We are almost out of the beads we first got and they have been begging for me. They love being creative with their patterns with these and love making them special for people in their lives and giving them as gifts. The big plates allow you to make any shape you want, but they do have pre-made shapes that are perfect for kids as well. </p><p style="text-align: left;">4. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/468FGl2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Embroidery Kits</a>:</b> My daughter got several of these beautiful embroidery kits for her birthday and she loves them.

Like I mentioned before, we don't just buy things to buy and the same thing goes for our stockings.We are very intentional and typically stocking items end up being only 3 or 4 things. These are some of my top picks. </p><p style="text-align: left;">1. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3MBzyL7" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Playing Card Boxes</a></b>: We have put one of these in the kids stockings the last few years to hold their Redemption cards, a Christian "trading card" game. As they collect cards they need places to store them and these little boxes are perfect. They would be great for storing any standard sized card game.</p><p style="text-align: left;">2. <a href="https://amzn.to/47c6139" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Card Games</b>:</a> We LOVE card games in our house. Its one of my favorite things to do with my kids. This is a link to all of our favorites.</p><p style="text-align: left;">3. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/49uQsF4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Washi Tape</a>: </b>My kids love having their own tape for their crafty projects and giving them some they can use without having to ask is a win win in my opinion. </p><p style="text-align: left;">4. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3SBmXvn" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Water Bottle</a>:</b> These are hands down our most favorite water bottles that we have every owned. They are leak proof, have lasted us years (unlike the couple months of everything else we have ever tried), they stay cold for quite a while, and I don't have to worry about anything yucky getting on the part that you drink out of. </p><p style="text-align: left;">5. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/40ClrLp" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Popper Fidgets</a></b>: I don't know if you have ever used a popper, but quite honestly I love them just as much as the kids. They are like reusable bubble wrap and who doesn't like to pop bubble wrap right. My kids love to fidget with these when we are reading aloud. </p><p style="text-align: left;">6. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/40zIeYh" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chomps Meat Sticks</a></b>: Snacks are always a great idea to include in stockings. We have recently found these Chomps meat sticks and love that they are filling and don't have all the nasty junk that most processed snacks have. These are meat sticks I can feel good about feeding my kids. </p><p style="text-align: left;">7. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3MxzOL5" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Redemption Cards</a>:</b> Redemption Cards are a Christian trading card game that my husband introduced to our kids and they are obsessed. Not only do they get to have fun playing a game their daddy grew up playing, but while they have fun they are learning all about different people in the Bible and reading truth and Scripture on each card. </p><p style="text-align: left;">8. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/49tHvfc" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Stationary Set</a></b>: I saw this sweet stationary set and immediately knew my daughter would love it. How stinking cute are those sweet florals. </p><p style="text-align: left;">9. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3SCyGKi" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sun Art paper</a>:</b> I have never used this before, but have several Sun Paper kits tucked away from a stash of homeschool stuff we were gifted and I am excited to gift them to my kids. What a need concept. </p><p style="text-align: left;">10. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/46bhcrx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kanoodle Game</a>:</b> I have seen this game recommended over and over again and definitely want to get it for my kids. We love games, especially those which require a bit of thinking. </p><p style="text-align: left;">11: <a href="https://amzn.to/469ztFD" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Slingshots: </b></a>I love that this set comes as a two pack so if you have two kids they can each have one or even if you only have one that you can use it with them or even yet you could have one for inside and one for outside.

It is the sweetest story of friendship that gifts from the heart are so so special. Ahhh I just love it so much. </p><p style="text-align: left;">3. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3suYVYs" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Home in the Woods</a>:</b> This is the sweetest story of learning that no matter what circumstances you find yourself in, you can make the most of it. Home is not a building but the people you spend time with and that you love and are loved by. <br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">4. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3QQe6Vq" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Night Gardener</a></b>: This was one of my kids favorite books. Imagine looking out your window and seeing a tree transformed into an owl with more creations in the days to come. This book is the sweetest story of not only topiaries being transformed, but peoples lives changed in such a powerful way. <br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">5. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/40zmRX9" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Finding Narnia</a></b>: This is the only book on the list that we have not personally read, yet, but I have heard so many wonderful things about it.

I love how we get a peek into how bees "work" throughout the seasons. <br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">8. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3SBB4Rw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Finding Winnie</a>:</b> This is the true story of the bear named Winnie. We have come to love Winnie the Pooh over the years. I loved to hear about where the inspiration for Winnie the Pooh came from. <br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">9. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3QUeZfK" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Complete Brambly Hedge Collection</a>:</b> This is the absolute sweetest collection that I think every book shelf should hold.

She LOVES to read and can go through several chapter books a week. We also have several read alouds going at a time in our house so we have read through our fair share of books over the years and I have loved every single one. These are must reads in our opinion. </p><p style="text-align: left;">1. Heartwood Hotel Series: <a href="https://amzn.to/3FTiDzX" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Book 1</b></a> - <b><a href="https://amzn.to/46XH77b" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Book 2</a> </b>- <b><a href="https://amzn.to/477n8mv" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Book 3</a> </b>- <a href="https://amzn.to/3ME9j70" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Book 4</b></a>: This is my absolute most favorite series ever, hands down.

And as long as the mice stay in the books we are good to go. haha</p><p style="text-align: left;">3. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/469EOg9" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Secret of the Hidden Scrolls Collection</a></b>: We LOVED this 8 book series.

Each book the children learn a lesson, oftentimes a Biblical one. My kids loves these because they also get a glimpse into what could have been happening during that time period. </p><p style="text-align: left;">7. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3svdKtT" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Secret Garden</a>:</b> This is not one I have read with my children yet, but I know they are going to love it as much as I do.

Veterans day is observed on November 11th every year. All across the country, parades and celebrations will take place to honor the men and women who have served in all branches of the military. As we head toward the weekend, I have been going through and teaching my two children all about what Veterans Day is and why we celebrate it. The brave men and women who have fought for our country or who have said yes to joining the military to protect our freedoms deserve to be celebrated and I personally want my children to know what and why we do so.

If you couldn't get to anything else besides reading a few books and writing down facts learned, a flip book is the way to go. </div><div data-paragraph="true"> </div><div data-paragraph="true"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Veterans-Day-Flip-Book-1520195?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=VetsDayFlipBook" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Veterans Day Flip Book Activity-A printable flip book activity to log Veterans Day information" border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" height="656" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitZpu1ajNX0cbP4ydFQAOTZMgoG1zsrZ14wGwEm6L6Ruw2QUb10LRIqY3jUFkgMa3d4XM6EQ6mQSYF2vmCK3LsmfhY9azd9tbXUEvKEHUWUmyAEf3NUYrwPfuLdlmUGteFtdjlYEFjJIKw3WoZHQIcoGvzJoRR4FZvOCL3hEInFnPCYP2AIpWOWkxt0Fel/w369-h656/Veterans%20Day%20Flip%20Book.png" title="Veterans Day Flip Book Activity" width="369" /></a><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Veterans-Day-Thematic-Unit-1516360?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=VetsDayUnit" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Veterans Day Nonfiction Book & Reader- a color nonfiction book about Veterans day with a printable student reader they can color" border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" height="656" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL13S-OBFatcuLCPOV1TT021xcF72rm8J3C8lEiETMjAFBwJ6NoevsEf43ewH-tMEzyDiWB5LugiIIxSI6J1oZiB5tw_g-J685ecqjP7RRzu2tqL3RvCNufRZ2HyqPgIQuLCXxG0eY5bjLht1JeAxO9Me13Yv-Dxhm6aDWCDDrM4K9T_eubWRbogY8s4UY/w369-h656/Veterans%20Day%20Nonfiction%20Book%20&%20Reader.png" title="Veterans Day Nonfiction Book & Reader" width="369" /></a></div> <br /></div><div data-paragraph="true">Grab some Veterans Day books from the library or use the nonfiction text resource in my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Veterans-Day-Thematic-Unit-1516360?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=VetsDayUnit" target="_blank">Veterans Day Thematic Unit,</a> do some research on Veterans Day and then use the Veterans Day Flip book to log what you learned.

I use my <a href="https://amzn.to/3QPL9ZK" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">proclick binding machine</a> with reusable spines to bind my books after printing on cardstock. We tuck the nonfiction texts on our bookshelf just like our purchased books. My kids love to have their own booklet so my Nonfiction text resources always include a student reader that follows the exact text of the colored book and is in black and white so the children can color it when you are done. The Veterans Day unit also includes military branch posters and vocabulary cards complete with real-life pictures to use to discuss key vocabulary during your unit. <br /></div><div data-paragraph="true"><br /></div><div data-paragraph="true"><h2 style="text-align: left;">Veterans Day Unit Study & Flip Book</h2><p style="text-align: left;">Grab the Veterans Day Thematic Unit and/or the Veterans Day Flip Book from one of our shops below. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Whether you are a homeschooling mama or classroom teacher, one of the things it's always fun to record and look back on is how your children or students write their name.

At times it may feel like they live and breath dinosaurs because it's all they play with and talk about. I always love tapping into my kids interests. I'm not sure the fascination with dinosaurs will ever dwindle with my kids. They love pulling out our Dinosaur Busy Book activities any chance they can get. It's one of their favorite <a href="https://www.letsplaylearngrow.com/p/busy-binders.html">Busy Books</a> sets from our collection. <br /></p><span><a name='more'></a></span><h1 style="text-align: left;">Dinosaur Busy Book Activities<br /></h1><p>This set includes activities suitable for preschool through first/second grade and can be used for morning time, early finisher activities, alongside your school word, in the car, on trips...the possibilities are numerous. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Dinosaur-Theme-Busy-Binder-5794978?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=DinoBBBlogPost" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Dinosaur Themed Busy BOok Activities for Kids" border="0" data-original-height="1155" data-original-width="650" height="811" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRUo8sugj9M70DBknj2LX-gRZk2H5MEYF7OlnPuz7gNscjnA32Wljevbebds22Z3CNT3MiwnN2jzXwnMI54_ydnuLC015L-BfbMr0FFfdBx8PdQRPx9jXDm4pmEGOD5MbqOtRGP_jbcL8RsIlNMVisatuJTq3WI2jgVwS5wn8Iz4tLxamtylQ2Cu_OnA/w456-h811/Dinosaur%20Busy%20Book%20Activities.png" title="Dinosaur Themed Busy BOok Activities for Kids" width="456" /></a></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">How to Set Up</h2><p style="text-align: left;"><i>(These prep resources include Amazon Affiliate links for your convenience, so
that you can find and reference the materials easily and quickly. This just
means that my blog receives a tiny compensation if you click on these
links- at no extra charge to you</i>.) </p><p style="text-align: left;">There are many ways to set up the Busy book activities. You can choose to give your child one activity at a time or you can add them to a binder or bind them with something like the <a href="https://amzn.to/3lJgxMd" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Proclick binding spines</a>. I like to laminate all of the pages and pieces to make them durable and then you may also choose to use velcro dots on the pages or you can use them without. I personally find it easier for small hands to manipulate the pieces if they have Velcro dots on them. </p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Level 1 Dinosaur Activity Pages</h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Dinosaur-Theme-Busy-Binder-5794978?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=DinoBBBlogPost" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Dinosaur Themed Activities For Kids Level 1" border="0" data-original-height="1066" data-original-width="600" height="825" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIbNklCv260pG0Sb9m0svnbJ9oNn8Z9ZB0ueugDuEBEWXNgh_GqsyjMB8rDsjUGkwN_gyNXzt_Cf45cL7rFffmNAvTEzU8ozAwzmWKfvMFz2IZEVvPyVRAULMAImFYXHl3IMvOmG1AfwPcaVq3ylgbx1pLGvIEp4kgJfgwfP7L58e8of0X02ADkb4gcQ/w464-h825/Dinosaur%20Themed%20Busy%20Book%20Activities%20(2).png" title="Dinosaur Themed Activities For Kids Level 1" width="464" /></a></div></h2><h3 style="text-align: left;">CVC Egg Words </h3><h2 style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Dinosaur-Theme-Busy-Binder-5794978?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=DinoBBBlogPost" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="CVC spelling Dinosaur Activity" border="0" data-original-height="809" data-original-width="606" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjACYVVQh3WPUf4ZiWEmUAz92_3SVhUKQARXRBuanSENoOahmME3OmslthSMWQ1izdAFpdUPjBXHfHQHkr4681gUWt6MiKuOP4OJwi1jyM0WaCD8xUzEmykFyKrZlY_uIUm18dqfJzWegccnuhbbqlOMj2CKiWHlgzBr-4s9Ld9y2xEB4OWbjW1dwJgqQ/w480-h640/CVCWordDinosaurEggsBusyBook2.png" title="CVC spelling Dinosaur Activity" width="480" /></a></div></h2><p style="text-align: left;">Children will use dinosaur eggs with letters on them to spell out CVC words on the dinosaur word mat.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Dino Egg Counting <br /></h3><h2 style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Dinosaur-Theme-Busy-Binder-5794978?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=DinoBBBlogPost" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Dino Egg Counting Ten Frame Activity" border="0" data-original-height="809" data-original-width="606" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJwuwp2giIT0uCWTiFpTnjZlkd3sQVc4e7xYfK-IZRJggriaaTGtNI6GInKCkgz_3PFcJORIoNGTQsVk_2271mkhQ-CzrJEiqCXai5qwH7Rp2m93lmeIed_CiDl8k67tuzb0EG85aXIlseoLQxO0uaeW4OAEKx5SYLRW-HAcorh9pmW2ogVv7Aob4RrA/w480-h640/Dinosaur%2010%20Frame%20Counting%20Busy%20BOok2.png" title="Dino Egg Counting Ten Frame Activity" width="480" /></a></div></h2><p style="text-align: left;">Students will use the ten and twenty frame mats to practice counting numbers through 20. </p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Fossil Shapes Sort <br /></h3><h2 style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Dinosaur-Theme-Busy-Binder-5794978?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=DinoBBBlogPost" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Dinosaur Themed Shape Sorting 2d and 3D Shapes" border="0" data-original-height="809" data-original-width="606" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNG7T3hCruRPDYu4ImqCOhW9R1nwXCaY14giH4UTN5PyYnlxrveS0fUiXSLYcenZv_NRLk_vxLuSlmo8tdWBfTl01hjUHGTzPidqLTg8KLaPdW9tMo6kh7veftbWkNOGSRqMHoEOtxwWQd8AMULtOeqTXDHtzEWZih2G63zZHnUp4nfQJ8jwqK41z3Ew/w480-h640/FossilShapesSortBusyBook2.png" title="Dinosaur Themed Shape Sorting 2d and 3D Shapes" width="480" /></a></h2><p style="text-align: left;">This activity practice differentiating between 2D shapes and 3d shapes.

Many
years ago I followed a lady on Instagram (she has since left and I can't remember her exact handle) who
inspired me so much. She was always posting so many beautiful hand made
activities and had the absolute best vintage book and toy collection I
have ever seen. If you know me in real life, you know how much old
antiques bring me joy. But I digress. She put together some of the
absolute best hands on, play based learning activities for her kids,
including these fun themed mats that they would spend their day playing
and learning with. She inspired me to start putting together activity
mats for my own kids and we have absolutely loved using them for the
last 5-6 years. </p><p><span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><h1 style="text-align: left;">What Is An Activity Mat? </h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSzPAelZ5UCOAqv10heK7g80uBeFauL1sKtOugJztLZAGazdS6GDhD6PXTpKOOp1HvZ9zMuOTNZ5eV8Csa_ZreA2cCW4Dg513qcnQOS5MWKfYk2ydKt5g0LJ7tmLKhTKf1c5FNWuYbS4DcZYGhj9g0I_BMmKvAYwz4F7vgCLX5bHUBHey3-8drFVkmMQ/s1155/Activity%20Mats.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Using Activity Mats With Kids | What Is An Activity Mat?" border="0" data-original-height="1155" data-original-width="650" height="788" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSzPAelZ5UCOAqv10heK7g80uBeFauL1sKtOugJztLZAGazdS6GDhD6PXTpKOOp1HvZ9zMuOTNZ5eV8Csa_ZreA2cCW4Dg513qcnQOS5MWKfYk2ydKt5g0LJ7tmLKhTKf1c5FNWuYbS4DcZYGhj9g0I_BMmKvAYwz4F7vgCLX5bHUBHey3-8drFVkmMQ/w443-h788/Activity%20Mats.png" title="Using Activity Mats With Kids | What Is An Activity Mat?" width="443" /></a></div></h1><h2 style="text-align: left;">Activity Mats To Play, Learn, & Grow<br /></h2><p><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://f1v3ff69.r.us-east-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%252F%252Fwww.letsplaylearngrow.com%252Fsearch%252Flabel%252Factivity%252520mat/1/010001866bb3132f-725c4842-2e70-447b-a4bb-a02a2cff6984-000000/QbB4q_Ciy5vA99yc8GgTsTbFeOk%3D309&source=gmail&ust=1676992294929000&usg=AOvVaw34s8Q4kE4n7tj57mXsKisn" href="https://www.letsplaylearngrow.com/search/label/activity%20mat" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff87ad;">Activity mats</span></a>
are simply a mat that contains hands-on activities themed around a
given theme or idea. There are no set rules on how to put together an
activity mat, besides to have fun with it and make it hands on and play
based. I often include activities for both of my children on one mat,
while sometimes I make them their own separate mat with activities for
their own level. You can include a craft, activities that include
manipulatives, activities that you print out from online, books…you are
free to include anything you want with what you have available to you. I
have done numerous activity mats over the years and each time I include
different activities. I love adding premade activities from my <a href="https://www.letsplaylearngrow.com/2019/07/lets-playlearngrow-curriculum.html"><span style="color: #ff87ad;">Preschool Curriculum</span></a> to the mats for easy and quick prep! </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgipb-jYxCipw31vSfNZqY3MB3iQAYq7jt9KOx3zzUtjvszAJE_SRliEvH5ALgJJllMplKxhiXud7sz09P9LilaaHgHcv8T4cU2nxYplJnwSk1RpdR-imwYz69b1TA3rr67LIQlhvD4b067VUS5iAaXCA_SD0w50CZs_8vOAWW5L3FPORq0Hrh7vDyPfw/s607/St.%20Patricks%20Day%20Activity%20Mat.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="St. Pats Activity Mat" border="0" data-original-height="607" data-original-width="607" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgipb-jYxCipw31vSfNZqY3MB3iQAYq7jt9KOx3zzUtjvszAJE_SRliEvH5ALgJJllMplKxhiXud7sz09P9LilaaHgHcv8T4cU2nxYplJnwSk1RpdR-imwYz69b1TA3rr67LIQlhvD4b067VUS5iAaXCA_SD0w50CZs_8vOAWW5L3FPORq0Hrh7vDyPfw/w640-h640/St.%20Patricks%20Day%20Activity%20Mat.png" title="St. Pats Activity Mat" width="640" /></a></div><h2 style="text-align: left;"> What Do I Need To Put An Activity Mat Together? </h2><p style="text-align: left;">Besides some basic art supplies and any manipulatives or extras you want to include, all you need is a <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://f1v3ff69.r.us-east-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%252F%252Famzn.to%252F3IdbsEL/1/010001866bb3132f-725c4842-2e70-447b-a4bb-a02a2cff6984-000000/0V_EAX2Gu2ZaWLI9BdInFMqPx_o%3D309&source=gmail&ust=1676992294929000&usg=AOvVaw2CoIjxdmuby-gUq0KZj0NQ" href="https://amzn.to/3lQci1C" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff87ad;"><strong>large paper roll</strong>.</span></a> We have used both brown and white kraft paper over the years.

At the time we kept it simple and made a cardboard pizza and added pepperoni to some pizza slices to practice counting. </p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxhE_G9NRBTQlRvDXHhRcOK2KQNmiFMtD26pU2d_MS76O0iZtNZAdLkQ2z4DWToxxUzYgvgZecHCoxTlJ2owbmFvOpbE3roRLweZhZEtNc3de5W6GcGABkmuWqIhmCkiK3R5vrJa4aiHpVFvrAL5xyzuJqq9X3XmHb07dA_RqtyIlNdGPD2LzsY-tpug/s825/Pizza%20Day%20Mat.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Pizza Day Activity Mat for Preschoolers" border="0" data-original-height="825" data-original-width="625" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxhE_G9NRBTQlRvDXHhRcOK2KQNmiFMtD26pU2d_MS76O0iZtNZAdLkQ2z4DWToxxUzYgvgZecHCoxTlJ2owbmFvOpbE3roRLweZhZEtNc3de5W6GcGABkmuWqIhmCkiK3R5vrJa4aiHpVFvrAL5xyzuJqq9X3XmHb07dA_RqtyIlNdGPD2LzsY-tpug/w484-h640/Pizza%20Day%20Mat.png" title="Pizza Day Activity Mat for Preschoolers" width="484" /></a></div> <p></p><p style="text-align: left;">Now 5 years later, this mama pulled out the paper roll and whipped up a fun, age appropriate activity mat. Not only did we complete the same cardboard pizza activity as 5 years ago, but we got to practice and review some of the skills we have been learning in math and language arts. My kids all these years later, still love hands on activities. Friends they are never too old for play and hands on activities.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Preparing an Activity Mat </h2><p style="text-align: left;"><i>(These prep resources include Amazon Affiliate links for your convenience, so that you can find and reference the materials easily and quickly. This just means that my blog receives a tiny compensation if you click on these links- at no extra charge to you.) </i><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">To create an activity mat, I start by mapping it out on paper and thinking through the things my kids are learning and then try to come up with activities based around our given theme. I always like to include a fun craft or activity mixed in with some learning activities. Sometimes I create a separate mat for each kid as you can see from our <a href="https://www.letsplaylearngrow.com/2021/03/st-patricks-day-activity-mat.html">St. Patrick's Day Activity mat</a>, or just incorporate both of their activities onto the same mat as I did with our Pizza activity mat below. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0rO67uBndPeuojowCoN6AGY2M4W9mx0HykO9YewrTupqiJQLI4Vk-3CHhkZ8XSokmI4R69ADs8grEEZ3oqEbx3lzbPc1JDdkHhnfQxCNaxwI6WWAvr1A6u5W9vSrd1vVeuk-PSVp2NDjoe2lWmvSKm_V8ED9AF-D7grVfnUnJn8aBuzGe8hVJPH7TZA/s2048/IMG_8474.JPEG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Activity Mat Prep Supplies" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0rO67uBndPeuojowCoN6AGY2M4W9mx0HykO9YewrTupqiJQLI4Vk-3CHhkZ8XSokmI4R69ADs8grEEZ3oqEbx3lzbPc1JDdkHhnfQxCNaxwI6WWAvr1A6u5W9vSrd1vVeuk-PSVp2NDjoe2lWmvSKm_V8ED9AF-D7grVfnUnJn8aBuzGe8hVJPH7TZA/w480-h640/IMG_8474.JPEG" title="Activity Mat Prep Supplies" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: left;">I start by rolling out paper from my <a href="https://amzn.to/3IdbsEL" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">large paper roll.</a> I have used both brown kraft paper and white paper and prefer the white just for visual purposes. Then from there I just use different art supplies or manipulatives I have on hand. This time around I chose to use some clip art for the one activity to save me some time. The wonderful thing about activity mats is being able to tailor them to our children using materials we have on hand. <br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Pizza Activity Mat Activities</h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi78a90gJr47NOUk22j6LWsuYXhoUj90xqtLO9E0lNxxmvhDDAQ_U-x3PB0o_nfGYl8OnT3Q_me62RCSb66qlkyOigFc41zwH6DQYYbn9ehb3UTBT1pfF0kTHSxvl8XfOen2MSze3iR7B3aMSfzkC20_PQi5f_Txgf4tSi5CsQM7K8NMe8O6c1jZFA1pA/s600/Pizza%20Themed%20Activity%20Mat.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Pizza Themed Activity Mat: National Pizza Day" border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi78a90gJr47NOUk22j6LWsuYXhoUj90xqtLO9E0lNxxmvhDDAQ_U-x3PB0o_nfGYl8OnT3Q_me62RCSb66qlkyOigFc41zwH6DQYYbn9ehb3UTBT1pfF0kTHSxvl8XfOen2MSze3iR7B3aMSfzkC20_PQi5f_Txgf4tSi5CsQM7K8NMe8O6c1jZFA1pA/w640-h480/Pizza%20Themed%20Activity%20Mat.png" title="Pizza Themed Activity Mat: National Pizza Day" width="640" /></a></div><h2 style="text-align: left;"></h2><h3 style="text-align: left;">Pizza Multiplication</h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr10s596NAR3mAnyGymdRd-qLt3lVA4uIORsaUxfBBYV8nH49UvfYnA7z-4wtQP656FhI7J1mRLHkvjOlTCtlGhPzHLaE2pDXx0lVujIfCCNv8UQRlb29GVK5WQvU1Uf2_wdPOD_J7UwTMU8CeH6jm-8RyQrLJ4II5R6-MPXVJaTbT4_iD4xFI1FSd2g/s825/Pizza%20Multiplication%20&%20Parts%20of%20Speech%20Pizza.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Multiplication Pizza Themed Activity" border="0" data-original-height="825" data-original-width="625" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr10s596NAR3mAnyGymdRd-qLt3lVA4uIORsaUxfBBYV8nH49UvfYnA7z-4wtQP656FhI7J1mRLHkvjOlTCtlGhPzHLaE2pDXx0lVujIfCCNv8UQRlb29GVK5WQvU1Uf2_wdPOD_J7UwTMU8CeH6jm-8RyQrLJ4II5R6-MPXVJaTbT4_iD4xFI1FSd2g/w484-h640/Pizza%20Multiplication%20&%20Parts%20of%20Speech%20Pizza.png" title="Multiplication Pizza Themed Activity" width="484" /></a></div></h3><p style="text-align: left;">Miss 8 has been diligently practicing her multiplication and division facts. For this activity, I drew some pizza slices on the mat and then wrote multiplication (and division) problems on it. I then wrote the answers on red dot stickers. To complete this activity mat activity she had to solve each problem and then find the red dot sticker and add it to the pizza. The <a href="https://amzn.to/3YDy4nn" target="_blank">dot stickers </a>represented pepperoni. Miss 8 kindly informed me "Mommy it says Pizza Multiplication, but you wrote division problems too." Well honey that's what happens when mommy is working on this late at night when she should be sleeping but she's having too much fun setting up for morning. <br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Parts of Speech Pizza </h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitT1Hm8HhOF_PcFm8huP8qUuhEGEjEthuedOYndcGMJts7_SnMOckyueXnj4BUvEoSXgZTN-aIrV8JLKUE7PCHW_qyggPgv5tPP-p6PyVKaXLcI0lMzzS3ZpUor_6cJ7yNClSxdhueWQqRc_AVgCe2J3AxyEjsCBRwxPIBeOp8bWFcj25sYRz3l3MCYw/s825/Parts%20of%20Speech%20pizza.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Parts of Speech Pizza Themed Activity" border="0" data-original-height="825" data-original-width="625" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitT1Hm8HhOF_PcFm8huP8qUuhEGEjEthuedOYndcGMJts7_SnMOckyueXnj4BUvEoSXgZTN-aIrV8JLKUE7PCHW_qyggPgv5tPP-p6PyVKaXLcI0lMzzS3ZpUor_6cJ7yNClSxdhueWQqRc_AVgCe2J3AxyEjsCBRwxPIBeOp8bWFcj25sYRz3l3MCYw/w484-h640/Parts%20of%20Speech%20pizza.png" title="Parts of Speech Pizza Themed Activity" width="484" /></a></div></h3><p style="text-align: left;">Identifying parts of speech is still a concept that Miss 8 has some trouble with so we sneak in all the extra practice that we can. For this activity I drew a whole pizza and then wrote either nouns, verbs, or adjectives on the pizza. On the <a href="https://amzn.to/3YDy4nn" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">red dot sticker</a> pepperonis I wrote noun, adjective, or verb and she would have to read the word and identify whether it was a noun, adjective, or verb and then cover it with the corresponding pepperoni sticker. <br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Pizza Day Cardboard Pizza</h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9IGHGzes-Sx3XRS3L1UbCCHRZ_HpYU0oBLWmRIrfjIjAVXbjWjpTGXUhaubpovVTYsizrld9rEYjE3VOIo34MIoi1563u19ZtBqN3kM-TqNIE7O9yXfEu5cBdsXzOmxr7FgBB6__bCviyJtGS35RBrvwDynafHL6ptpwiOa_HWk3h5PZHcyxIaTitrQ/s825/Cardboard%20Pizza%20Craft%20Activity%20National%20Pizza%20Day.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Cardboard Pizzas: Recycle Material Craft" border="0" data-original-height="825" data-original-width="625" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9IGHGzes-Sx3XRS3L1UbCCHRZ_HpYU0oBLWmRIrfjIjAVXbjWjpTGXUhaubpovVTYsizrld9rEYjE3VOIo34MIoi1563u19ZtBqN3kM-TqNIE7O9yXfEu5cBdsXzOmxr7FgBB6__bCviyJtGS35RBrvwDynafHL6ptpwiOa_HWk3h5PZHcyxIaTitrQ/w484-h640/Cardboard%20Pizza%20Craft%20Activity%20National%20Pizza%20Day.png" title="Cardboard Pizzas: Recycle Material Craft" width="484" /></a></div></h3><p style="text-align: left;">The cardboard pizzas were a HUGE hit again and once they dried the kids happily played pizza shop for the majority of the day. To create the cardboard pizzas I started by cutting out circles from some cardboard I saved. I then cut up different pieces of construction paper to represent the different pizza toppings we typically add to our pizza. The sauce was simply red paint. </p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo_tprrYGjsCeWzcIG47K8HyiEoMvrF3-IDcFpd8Cey2Fc86Iz1kItvnWi5gmzLWvjTyncoqApnmEy9vHB_GZng7jF9n_hVzr8Z_vpTb9rF2I9OPuYTYgr3Ry3UyMKDuuXdTE49L5iVFfGGLEqatnXZqAXrH47VJ1MpUH0GG1yGQKc9i3SRH8e8yXmZw/s825/Cardboard%20pizza%20craft%20in%20action.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYoLjNsAicPNBQwcDkWtlgE8JasePRjXRyuwxCnC6oeqZJq4RpFvCU8EwmHvupW5zNP1zUFki5sPTHiMEPnM6Gqw-3_3OWvtk3cXdPp45VcOpQ8lSTEok-cH6-mWiOB-ArlokQDA1SnFuCdPZv9LewFsBlqH1fbiBznxu1K0Cg4UA3feUM5JvVkNCAaw/s825/Cardboard%20Pizza%20craft.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Cardboard Pizza Creation" border="0" data-original-height="825" data-original-width="625" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYoLjNsAicPNBQwcDkWtlgE8JasePRjXRyuwxCnC6oeqZJq4RpFvCU8EwmHvupW5zNP1zUFki5sPTHiMEPnM6Gqw-3_3OWvtk3cXdPp45VcOpQ8lSTEok-cH6-mWiOB-ArlokQDA1SnFuCdPZv9LewFsBlqH1fbiBznxu1K0Cg4UA3feUM5JvVkNCAaw/w303-h400/Cardboard%20Pizza%20craft.png" title="Cardboard Pizza Creation" width="303" /></a><img alt="Cardboard Pizza Creation adding the toppings" border="0" data-original-height="825" data-original-width="625" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo_tprrYGjsCeWzcIG47K8HyiEoMvrF3-IDcFpd8Cey2Fc86Iz1kItvnWi5gmzLWvjTyncoqApnmEy9vHB_GZng7jF9n_hVzr8Z_vpTb9rF2I9OPuYTYgr3Ry3UyMKDuuXdTE49L5iVFfGGLEqatnXZqAXrH47VJ1MpUH0GG1yGQKc9i3SRH8e8yXmZw/w303-h400/Cardboard%20pizza%20craft%20in%20action.png" title="Cardboard Pizza Creation adding the toppings" width="303" /></div></div><br />To make the pizzas the kids started by adding the sauce to their cardboard dough using a spoon. The paint is actually the "glue" to hold on all of the toppings which is so cool. Once they got the sauce added then they went to work adding their different toppings, pressing each piece into the sauce. Once all the toppings were on we left them to dry and the kids had cardboard pizzas to play pizza parlor with. <br /><p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Pizza Fractions</h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmfjgA_u2uqgJacKIsN7X5wAX1tXVei4Gm2Hn2koRY9ILeut1YWFMNZZqCWLEdQ-vtfdAwY7QdkzJKhphrW0GbS4EfX19LEoVnLTStznb6dimJCnPnNaLg4ZblWFS0Ss9rzxdbAuAWHzYkg-tTnlHcw1sj3z0UwJ8AWFsHSnO4WLrU-I1eijsbEvo51w/s825/Pizza%20Fractions.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Pizza Fractions: Pizza Themed Activity" border="0" data-original-height="825" data-original-width="625" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmfjgA_u2uqgJacKIsN7X5wAX1tXVei4Gm2Hn2koRY9ILeut1YWFMNZZqCWLEdQ-vtfdAwY7QdkzJKhphrW0GbS4EfX19LEoVnLTStznb6dimJCnPnNaLg4ZblWFS0Ss9rzxdbAuAWHzYkg-tTnlHcw1sj3z0UwJ8AWFsHSnO4WLrU-I1eijsbEvo51w/w484-h640/Pizza%20Fractions.png" title="Pizza Fractions: Pizza Themed Activity" width="484" /></a></div></h3><p style="text-align: left;">For this activity, I printed out some pizza fraction clipart I had and glue them into the spot on the mat for Mr. 6 to identify.

We got the <a href="https://dashintolearning.com/?ref=jtchlozja6t" target="_blank">Dash into Learning early reader set</a> and he became more and more interested because he LOVES the characters in the books and then we tried the new Good and Beautiful LA program and between the two he has excelled over the last 6 months and loves reading. We used this as a review of the words he has been reading and practicing. </p><p style="text-align: left;">I drew three different pizza slices and wrote either sh, ch, or th words on each one. Mr. 6 would read the word and if he said it correctly he got to cover it with a sticker pepperoni.

These <b>Beginning Sound sorting mats </b>are bright and colorful and engaging and make the perfect center activity or extra practice activity. </p><p><span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><h1 style="text-align: left;">How to Use the Beginning Sound Sorting Mats</h1><p style="text-align: left;">These beginning sound sorting mats are versatile. Use them during center time or as a one-on-one activity for beginning sound practice. </p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiltyr8TvomE3heMNzyrA6HyklNp9vQuMzPhSuGpt5xALzh0Oo7nj8I5fAR_RuD1p9Xsusxb6JAr2erUWReGzzA7Ri4yzHeSK_I03Ov3LZViXrRmZrCVePx0tN7LqWKbHMFxKQngUb1a7AoyMeJkbJay71XgowPOcq0MLCjMnF6_b20kdlT286Kvr9ohw/s1920/Free%20Beginning%20Sound%20Sorting%20Mats.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Free printable beginning sound activity for kids" border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" height="786" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiltyr8TvomE3heMNzyrA6HyklNp9vQuMzPhSuGpt5xALzh0Oo7nj8I5fAR_RuD1p9Xsusxb6JAr2erUWReGzzA7Ri4yzHeSK_I03Ov3LZViXrRmZrCVePx0tN7LqWKbHMFxKQngUb1a7AoyMeJkbJay71XgowPOcq0MLCjMnF6_b20kdlT286Kvr9ohw/w442-h786/Free%20Beginning%20Sound%20Sorting%20Mats.png" title="Free Beginning Sound Sort Printable Activity for Preschool and Kindergarten" width="442" /></a></div><p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">How to Prep</h2><p style="text-align: left;">This activity is simple to prep. Start by printing the pages you would like to use, laminate them, and then cut out the picture beginning sound cards. The mats stay whole. If you would like you can add Velcro dots to the pieces and inside each of the spots on the mat or you can leave them as is. One of the benefits of using Velcro dots is having a place to store the pieces when you are done using the activity. They can just be attached to the mats and taken off the next time you want to use them. </p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">How to Use</h2><p style="text-align: left;">Depending on your students, you can choose to use all of the mats at once or give out just a few letter mats at a time. Having a smaller amount of cards out at a time can help keep your students from becoming overwhelmed. </p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEwjUd6l0GgqA2JKzog0k_tBfcTJp6_nklsidNlptNn86s5ev3W8kpj4XcbmKqQ2Vyk7ep3hwd-OhmC_tndn4Gm2bD892_BvmeCK29ZSH6pwdITLseZT2Wsoc-tZ7-k54PYi--AqqvBLEF7wuAiBWOXRza14MKD_5-wXx9jzSDyK2knd0MMQkF_uel4g/s600/wide%20logo%20LPLG.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Beginning Sound Sorting Mat activity for toddlers and preschoolers" border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEwjUd6l0GgqA2JKzog0k_tBfcTJp6_nklsidNlptNn86s5ev3W8kpj4XcbmKqQ2Vyk7ep3hwd-OhmC_tndn4Gm2bD892_BvmeCK29ZSH6pwdITLseZT2Wsoc-tZ7-k54PYi--AqqvBLEF7wuAiBWOXRza14MKD_5-wXx9jzSDyK2knd0MMQkF_uel4g/w640-h480/wide%20logo%20LPLG.png" title="Free Beginning Sound Sort Printable Activity for Preschool and Kindergarten" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: left;">Mix up the picture cards and lay them out in front of you.

They will continue until they have sorted all the cards they have. <br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Other Ways to Use</h2><p style="text-align: left;">This activity would also make a wonderful cut-and-paste beginning sound activity.

There have been dozens of coloring books completely finished and then some in our home and I am always whipping up extra pages for them. I recently needed some extra activities to have on hand for the classrooms at my church (I am the children's ministry director) so I created some Bible ABC coloring sheets to have on hand. My kids were patiently waiting for me to finish prepping them (ie hovering over my shoulder in anticipation haha) so they could have their very own set to color and got started right away when I printed them some. I am sharing the coloring sheets below as a freebie in my Free Resource Library. </p><p><span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><h1 style="text-align: left;">Bible ABC Coloring Pages</h1><h1 style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3MNDhAUF-zzB_MqQSM4UKgxrsVvfstPYLCYdm88VxzbEx1OFMru858xXtOhucposBAqBKRsuT-aOyDbIHmTo3ilc0R_akwbmsUnqcL5GtyVJi-TPGRJyxAhyHq5Jk-x5QUhhl5H9_WgnlNhYgsPJVUiSbxZvoiLVrYtvgkGZrRntFxFLGBVarayRaSg/s1920/Free%20Bible%20ABC%20Coloring%20Sheets.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Free Bible Themed Alphabet Coloring Pages" border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" height="777" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3MNDhAUF-zzB_MqQSM4UKgxrsVvfstPYLCYdm88VxzbEx1OFMru858xXtOhucposBAqBKRsuT-aOyDbIHmTo3ilc0R_akwbmsUnqcL5GtyVJi-TPGRJyxAhyHq5Jk-x5QUhhl5H9_WgnlNhYgsPJVUiSbxZvoiLVrYtvgkGZrRntFxFLGBVarayRaSg/w437-h777/Free%20Bible%20ABC%20Coloring%20Sheets.png" title="Free Bible Themed Alphabet Coloring Pages" width="437" /></a><br /></h1><h2 style="text-align: left;">How To Use <br /></h2><p style="text-align: left;">These Bible coloring sheets are perfect for any age and can be used in any home, church, or classroom.

We still find practicing calendar skills so important so a couple years ago I created our <a href="https://www.letsplaylearngrow.com/2023/01/morning-time-notebook.html">Morning Time Notebooks</a> that we have used and loved during our Morning Time activities. They coordinate so well with our <a href="https://www.letsplaylearngrow.com/2016/09/circle-time-for-little-learners.html">Circle Time Board</a> and can be used alone or together. One of the things I really wanted to incorporate was continued practice with Math facts to help the kids with their math fact fluency. I made an addition and subtraction notebook for Little Dude and a multiplication and division notebook add-on or Little Miss, both of which can be used separately that we have been using during our Morning Time activities and they have helped my kids tremendously with their math fact fluency. </p><p><span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><h1 style="text-align: left;">Math Fact Fluency Notebooks</h1><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy7WGRWqDgjJLT2WjTcjTYJ7lgI8Jv-KGmgcUwy8_ptEWHdrTJIf8vLop_HkLgfub44Lon0laU2hvBeW74B5kJMQgHKdI9uaM-aGWWmjrymWs9Fz8gXnIE5nad11qOjK2cD-ckLJevtYywpyvmx07BO11ZqmmVu0pr-k4Skn7OmULcc2VSm1gFAVfXzQ/s1920/Math%20Fact%20Fluency%20Notebooks.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" height="879" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy7WGRWqDgjJLT2WjTcjTYJ7lgI8Jv-KGmgcUwy8_ptEWHdrTJIf8vLop_HkLgfub44Lon0laU2hvBeW74B5kJMQgHKdI9uaM-aGWWmjrymWs9Fz8gXnIE5nad11qOjK2cD-ckLJevtYywpyvmx07BO11ZqmmVu0pr-k4Skn7OmULcc2VSm1gFAVfXzQ/w494-h879/Math%20Fact%20Fluency%20Notebooks.png" width="494" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="text-align: left;">Both my kids are very advanced with Math, but one of the things they can
use continued practice with is math fact fluency and automaticity. The
more they practice simple math facts, the quicker and easier higher
level math is for them. These fluency notebooks are wonderful for morning time, extra math practice, math centers, or quick finisher activities. <br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Addition and Subtraction Fluency Notebooks<br /></h2><p style="text-align: left;">The addition and subtraction activities can be split into two notebooks or combined into one. Each skill set comes with three different versions of the files. I created them this way so that they could be differentiated for the child and so that you can build fluency with the math facts. The addition and subtraction fluency notebooks includes sums and differences within 20. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Multiplication-and-Division-Fluency-Practice-Notebook-9007698?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=MultiplicationFluencyNewProductPost" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="825" data-original-width="625" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYumR3V0ztJQXkDKUby2nFrF121gMBjsernY6fsT9yKR8MJRR0FZCumJ9Bk8E0507TDAFp3cfRrUduyglNu8IBBesJi5Ya-p7lp3io6bn_1Vfdbc4DI7ooYQIx7Erzvb_DJpVydeLZj7rhZRNui7nW7x-nvkhQjQzcRNjZBCyoui3W3cRscqNsTRtyxQ/w484-h640/Addition%20&%20Subtraction%20Fact%20Notebooks.png" width="484" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;"></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Addition and Subtraction Sets Included: <br /></h3><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>The first set of printables includes all addition/subtraction facts in order.

The multiplication and division notebook includes facts families through 12. </p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Multiplication-and-Division-Fluency-Practice-Notebook-9007698?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=MultiplicationFluencyNewProductPost" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="825" data-original-width="625" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUL_sjNCJcTwwwxsCCIcjyTrE3eEwrIVAX25-FgsBct9cBhRQdvV1l9nzAF3iWSrtfw51571qMB4M5Sk9m6Lvl0YopNPgtVdptmn_hIRkoDQuqrqe9IQPXwrr6g3IrO_Ya37FweUBstlLdtjOtA-CODXF_DqbBwp7hBANUno41RBX1tfHJXzepezDjAA/w484-h640/Multiplication%20&%20Division%20Fact%20Notebooks%20(2).png" width="484" /></a></div><p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"> Multiplication & Division Sets Included</h3><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>The first set of printables include all multiplication facts or division facts in order.

that you can find and reference the materials easily and quickly. This just
means that my blog receives a tiny compensation if you click on these
links- at no extra charge to you</i>.) <br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Each set comes with covers to add to your notebooks. You can have separate addition and subtraction notebooks or combine them into one. The same applies for the multiplication and division notebook. Cover options are available for all 6 choices. </p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Multiplication-and-Division-Fluency-Practice-Notebook-9007698?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=MultiplicationFluencyNewProductPost" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="825" data-original-width="625" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj00rO9S6iGHoCo378RuJIfoB57xgZY11OelX0zfXg6wnpkBL5olCC5hy8aw5BWv9uvrsxS0WkKatxT02vMJZbRioWKovv3MUuthRk3zNSyHP2EV6CPUTCJ3pINhQFL_GQ02hI3RteS3PmSjtvy0Co2JDEQhe-TRC4rb-YGCU_nqUwBrLkDXgfwkaBvOw/w484-h640/Multiplication%20&%20Division%20Fact%20Notebooks%20(4).png" width="484" /></a></div>One of my most favorite and most used homeschool prep resources and best investment has been my <a href="https://amzn.to/3kLg5wx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Proclick Binding machine.</a> I use this to bind everything from printed curriculum to activity books for my kids. The best part is that you can buy the <a href="https://amzn.to/3XNhbqd" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">reusable binder spines</a> that open and allow you to swap out what goes in them. <p></p><p style="text-align: left;">For our Fluency Notebooks, I printed the pages double sided and then laminated them. I used my binding machine to bind them together and then I used the proclick binding spines to bind the books together. </p><p style="text-align: left;">We like to use wet erase markers on our notebooks as it erases easier on the laminating sheets we use, but have also used dry erase markers with success as well (personal preference). </p><p style="text-align: left;">Laminating the pages makes them reusable, but these pages can also be used as printable single use files. </p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Multiplication-and-Division-Fluency-Practice-Notebook-9007698?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=MultiplicationFluencyNewProductPost" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="825" data-original-width="625" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrlhlk_HSjFhDj-3SDLmgBRFj7TqFZzQdfNhtSbCfiJIJJbna2jEgFoW2CqnqpMA42FTXapO6aINO-XawdTQiGu1V94yrmPbQeu41vqorut2z_Zip9yxHa9H7E6zo2xb4vrS4xRTYkIIxEQRz8nV_oPNX74Sax8ag0PtroUw7QAyMv2zb4At1F9CWRuQ/w484-h640/Multiplication%20&%20Division%20Fact%20Notebooks.png" width="484" /></a></div> <p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Purchase Fluency Notebooks </h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Addition-and-Subtraction-Fluency-Practice-Notebook-9007611?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=AdditionFluencyNewProductPost" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitJDiLunp19wshZHnmNaYA5NzLlGAaynl8hzkdmlw0MxthJ2dclum4mZdHajk1qj2x282tuAlZXtB1nozndv-VNZsVJfk1fkGEqagJ2OVL-kmJA6Tu8JwX08AAT8Av5V26gUlzbq44rByrlw5XdAQN5G61y9QFUmlfQ_VA9MOstR_i8p0p0qbfpYoFsg/s320/AdditionSubtractionFluencyPractice.png" width="320" /></a></div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Multiplication-and-Division-Fluency-Practice-Notebook-9007698?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=MultiplicationFluencyNewProductPost" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="393" data-original-width="1760" height="44" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2NjCSBNqYRNNUbbaJxPcUcVzw9KIwjz40WuMnLdGMICtYVPFKGQRREnU2pD5YJpB5G7wUNZ2Af4wIvhH-ZN5rYK2_dn5m3JUyhm9Ua_zxmGs8_T9sztz1gH6FhV_6Y0wFV8V7WNEO_cAEwuNV9xqR-XglRNHdZIwQXK4eHs1z_8DrI0xVOUkcC7DTuw/w200-h44/buyontpt.png" width="200" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Multiplication-and-Division-Fluency-Practice-Notebook-9007698?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=MultiplicationFluencyNewProductPost" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQlKRVcYHK5j-ExmOIBXxnhQ3mg4OPw9H3rQTUgupb6GuzZ7xPSTJ_tqaUGeWsMpwnrhT4JYKCvVYHdX7KHUNk1lMtB3Ol1YkYKXbvHLUnlrrZq8fLgokUtb6WZVKq_vFFVCvuporOaNk4mNgQTamC9XhOGqX8X0CPZjZJQEEwPXF84WtdEY6KWML-Gw/s320/MultiplicationDivisionFluencyPractice.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Multiplication-and-Division-Fluency-Practice-Notebook-9007698?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=MultiplicationFluencyNewProductPost" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="393" data-original-width="1760" height="44" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2NjCSBNqYRNNUbbaJxPcUcVzw9KIwjz40WuMnLdGMICtYVPFKGQRREnU2pD5YJpB5G7wUNZ2Af4wIvhH-ZN5rYK2_dn5m3JUyhm9Ua_zxmGs8_T9sztz1gH6FhV_6Y0wFV8V7WNEO_cAEwuNV9xqR-XglRNHdZIwQXK4eHs1z_8DrI0xVOUkcC7DTuw/w200-h44/buyontpt.png" width="200" /></a> </div> </div>Bundle and Save<br /></h2><p style="text-align: left;">I created everything in my Morning Time series to coordinate together.

Both my Morning Time Notebook and Fluency Notebooks follow the same format so they could easily be combined into one notebook or used separately (have have their own cover designs) and they all coordinate with the Circle Time Board. </p><p style="text-align: left;">I bundled all these resources together into two money saving bundles. The first bundle includes just the Morning Time Notebook and Circle Time board and the second bundle is a mega bundle with an even greater discount and it includes the Morning Time Notebook, Circle Time Board, and both Fact Fluency Notebooks. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Morning-Meeting-Bundle-6998434?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=MorningMeetingBundle-Fact%20Fluency%20Post" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyYuUd42JjkwGMoAZD9usZIoCAMyw3R_8DlzPcMFDq2qhqUIzFfCc0LVvVqeILSR-DY8YsgNDOQYg-bJ0cReS7-lQlmBaz7DgXqJ8CNQ1-DKmvrSw6-X6U_u09RoVLkMRBmOzeydkw3mAeQieMOM46_pmhmiXzfyhHHHaTOaCXbVYP6uYGUwTVU8n8Ng/s320/Morning%20TIme%20Bundle.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Morning-Meeting-Bundle-6998434?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=MorningMeetingBundle-Fact%20Fluency%20Post" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="393" data-original-width="1760" height="44" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2NjCSBNqYRNNUbbaJxPcUcVzw9KIwjz40WuMnLdGMICtYVPFKGQRREnU2pD5YJpB5G7wUNZ2Af4wIvhH-ZN5rYK2_dn5m3JUyhm9Ua_zxmGs8_T9sztz1gH6FhV_6Y0wFV8V7WNEO_cAEwuNV9xqR-XglRNHdZIwQXK4eHs1z_8DrI0xVOUkcC7DTuw/w200-h44/buyontpt.png" width="200" /></a> <br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Morning-Meeting-MEGA-Bundle-9063614?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=MorningMeetingMegaBundle-Fact%20Fluency%20Post" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_B65S93T9xk2qC_37wXoBRTSaOzFE4U2UDDhnAtecLxlzEPKLptUCO87-YqH_cJrNOPRVvcXxHX_3ESc3MdL4sKs-KgioAgqCFkIKurWgw-CEJ-MbkuGVtVWmVxTjpSObDGwF_MO2EaA9D1BTMonDsqM2qLb4fqaX1509CTtyoUcUy3dLQ6JpFAMjJA/s320/MorningTimeMegaBUndle.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Morning-Meeting-MEGA-Bundle-9063614?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=MorningMeetingMegaBundle-Fact%20Fluency%20Post" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="393" data-original-width="1760" height="44" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2NjCSBNqYRNNUbbaJxPcUcVzw9KIwjz40WuMnLdGMICtYVPFKGQRREnU2pD5YJpB5G7wUNZ2Af4wIvhH-ZN5rYK2_dn5m3JUyhm9Ua_zxmGs8_T9sztz1gH6FhV_6Y0wFV8V7WNEO_cAEwuNV9xqR-XglRNHdZIwQXK4eHs1z_8DrI0xVOUkcC7DTuw/w200-h44/buyontpt.png" width="200" /></a> <br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><h2 style="text-align: left;">Freebie Library</h2><p style="text-align: left;">Have you signed up for our Freebie Library yet?

These <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Coin-Activities-and-Center-Money-Unit-626040?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=Coin%20Unit%20Blog%20Post" target="_blank">coin and money activities</a> are perfect for math centers or just extra money skill practice. </p><p><span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><h1 style="text-align: left;">Coin and Money Printables </h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Coin-Activities-and-Center-Money-Unit-626040?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=Coin%20Unit%20Blog%20Post" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Coin Money Unit printable activities for kindergarten and first grade" border="0" data-original-height="1066" data-original-width="600" height="780" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4oxM24v3Pcj_GtLkkociEuhXDlSjFW0FrWSvbd-x1yDlD0bEzf8ZDXVijMtlkek7B3ZiGqAbfPtLm2DhCPx9yfwCL-ppMSZKog8JN09i4X8D5G6pxldt7xlfZyHPDDcoDbZQr-uUVYHchNif__56p-2qqFXSEhU4aac-9AgswuCmfM4QiVy58gdiM4A/w439-h780/Coin%20Money%20Activities.png" title="Coin & Money Printables" width="439" /></a></div></h1><p style="text-align: left;">This unit is perfect for kindergarten, first, and second grade and focuses on identifying coins, coin names, and the value of coins. </p><p>There is a wide variety of activities included. <br /></p><ul><li>Coin Posters (Half-Dollar, Quarter, Dime, Nickel, Penny, All Coins)</li><li>Coin Puzzles</li><li>Coin Matching Cards with coordinating Recording sheet </li><li>How Much Is It Worth Level 1 (matching cards + recording sheet which can stand alone as a worksheet)</li><li>How Much Is It Worth Level 2 (matching cards + recording sheet which can stand alone as a worksheet)</li><li>Match the Coins Worksheets (2 versions with both in color and black and white)</li><li>Spin and Dot a Coin Values</li><li>Spin and Write Coin Names</li><li>Roll a Coin</li><li>Coin Sorting Mat</li><li>2 Coin Fluency Mats</li></ul><h2 style="text-align: left;">Coin Posters</h2><p style="text-align: left;">There is one poster for each of the 5 different coins: penny, nickel, dime, quarters, and half-dollar, and then one poster that includes the front and backs of all of the coins. Each coin poster features the front and back of the coin and three different ways to write the value of the coin. </p><p style="text-align: left;">Print these on cardstock or print on regular paper and laminate for durability and then display them in your home or classroom. </p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Coin-Activities-and-Center-Money-Unit-626040?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=Coin%20Unit%20Blog%20Post" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Coin Money Posters" border="0" data-original-height="825" data-original-width="625" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj5RvfQQrRSYkEi3PhOmyLfVg6YUFe5S7Xe6TpSYpiFJKZw5CDd0N91x3FcjGQBorFeZ7erFmwcjFPlNQ2fPmM5s-l7AjFd2ozVSScxBtDHQ_R48rcQ9O5_yDU15WHo7VrC8UmcNmvbUAoYCdbN5FoWeX8VIhATRABIJRtKXrTzGXN-zH4shoHwzXmbA/w484-h640/Coin%20Name%20Posters%20Money%20Posters.png" title="Coin Money Posters" width="484" /></a></div><br /><p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Money Puzzles</h2><p style="text-align: left;">The money puzzles can be cut apart and mixed up and then students will work to put the puzzles together, matching up a picture of the coin, coin name, or coin worth together. There are numerous puzzles for each coin that can be mixed and matched together. <br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Coin-Activities-and-Center-Money-Unit-626040?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=Coin%20Unit%20Blog%20Post" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Coin Money Puzzles" border="0" data-original-height="825" data-original-width="625" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP6vVSc5Mtg9kjeocuyfYWWwNDNC2ucOC1clbOYk_5clBqSmYORo8pICODmAHZU-McOX8gEBkr6o2PsskF6XtUGFG5rKeAHGSvOPHJlDKGZprm6tcOluc8stz4uJZ5IZLNlwgasC5QGhE0z22kc1ePOhID7WFmPTWw8_YMLV8VrkSi5FtsEsPcDtDksg/w484-h640/Coin%20Unit%20MOney%20Puzzles.png" title="Coin Money Puzzles" width="484" /></a></div><br />Coin Matching Cards</h2><p style="text-align: left;">This activity can be used in a variety of different ways. Each coin has six different cards (3 matches) that can be made as well as a recording sheet. Students are to match the picture card with the card that shows how much it is worth. The three matching pairs include the three different ways you can write the value of each coin. The recording sheet can be use alongside the matching cards or can be used separately. Once children have matched the cards they can record the three ways to write the value of each coin in the boxes above the word. <br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Coin-Activities-and-Center-Money-Unit-626040?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=Coin%20Unit%20Blog%20Post" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Coin Matching" border="0" data-original-height="825" data-original-width="625" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3SdVl3fLJpAcQ1R2veAue60aEmH_Qvk9WbaRHY-LdUhncnUHbMb_SvsKcKtHnIQLe9PhaGvzrtwfnnlLS-hsUhgvKIlxo1ZWxNN7-gle3P89wdikzZsKbUh4uvCCkRYtytgdsnILrzl9XTKLUju4UJlXPVZ4SiIgAmnpu1goglm41B09FJQZXW18rHg/w484-h640/Coin%20Matching%20Activity.png" title="Coin Matching" width="484" /></a></div></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;">How Much Is It Worth?</h2><p style="text-align: left;">This activity includes two different levels, one with the half-dollar and one without the half dollar. Students will match the card with the coins (has a number) with the card that shows how much it's worth. The student will then go to the recording sheet, find the number on the sheet and record the worth in the box. Again, this recording sheet can be used separately. <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Coin-Activities-and-Center-Money-Unit-626040?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=Coin%20Unit%20Blog%20Post" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="How Much is it Worth Money Activity" border="0" data-original-height="825" data-original-width="625" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPMju6sJHlnKF0O7AbWUPBW-_YALzMGM7QovqpRtGWA_qmZPdu48mXIn3Hm3my_RHpWley_Nd-nyBCOxDLBXzEWwFQQo0gsKWEEtdn5k-0BHJOiKL5XjgSt5z4F3jY_c1ZRh9f3qB5EBEQXxxN4kA6_vjz4Ik52y90HuJE1UO0wYtFQN6979WtNZboLA/w484-h640/Coin%20Unit-How%20Much%20Is%20It%20Worth.png" title="How Much is it Worth Money Activity" width="484" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Match the Coins</h2><p style="text-align: left;">This cut and paste money activity is available in two different versions, one where students match the coin to the value and one where they match the coin to the name. Children will cut apart the front and back coin pictures and glue them in the appropriate box on the sheet. <br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Coin-Activities-and-Center-Money-Unit-626040?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=Coin%20Unit%20Blog%20Post" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Match the Coins Cut and Paste Activity" border="0" data-original-height="825" data-original-width="625" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlt6YMda229Szs1G3B0jChEnrFDI-2HV-_jt_u_FwpoJ5WEH8BaUW95FJhk0a3AQwECFVfbEaaKF864UKm2Xm6Wdd6xvncqC504_J1ObIi03WQ85JiSUE2Acx87PVD4YPvl3CH9WJPOXCLkcRog9ySC3IGhJllJpGXrviILoRcxVPhrJ0Et2ojFp_V-w/w484-h640/Coin%20Cut%20and%20Paste%20Activities.png" title="Match the Coins Cut and Paste Activity" width="484" /></a></div></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;">Spinner Activities</h2><p style="text-align: left;"><i>(The spinner and dot marker links include Amazon Affiliate links for your convenience, so
that you can find and reference the materials easily and quickly. This just
means that my blog receives a tiny compensation if you click on these
links- at no extra charge to you</i>.) <br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">My kids absolutely love activities that include a spinner and the money unit includes several. The first activity included is a Spin and Write Coin names activity. We use these <a href="https://amzn.to/3RccKTk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">dot marker. </a> to quickly create spinner activities and I love them. To complete the activity you simply spin the spinner, identify the coin it lands on, find it on the recording sheet and write the name of the coin above the correct coin on the table (and yes I spelled nickel wrong when I wrote it and didn't realize until after I took the picture oops) <br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Coin-Activities-and-Center-Money-Unit-626040?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=Coin%20Unit%20Blog%20Post" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Spin a Coin Write the Coin Name Activity" border="0" data-original-height="825" data-original-width="625" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrUG_cMWhpPUuwOh-JEA6sq8GbLOJgnpxmAVrgarfs-d1PMKcL9WD5tH7udSQPGPKREtw4c-8NrhfoLsJJ2xys1eyj5cop0EMKY_xWceW8motqCNWbyAm8k0QLVBmhUeT8YKCgHSAzRj_49-bc2riqngz8Hu0FRppzXrzPpzaHuWCaMsJiyLfql9siXA/w484-h640/Coin%20Unit%20Spin%20a%20Coin.png" title="Spin a Coin Write the Coin Name Activity" width="484" /></a></div><br />The second spinner activity also uses dot markers, another favorite for my kids.Children will spin the spinner, identify the coin name and value and then find that value on the sheet and dot it with a <a href="https://amzn.to/3jgf92L" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">dot marker. </a><br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Coin-Activities-and-Center-Money-Unit-626040?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=Coin%20Unit%20Blog%20Post" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Spin and Dot Coin Values" border="0" data-original-height="825" data-original-width="625" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDjqshOqOuLXfzWYWtSLMZtLlDSY124KfykFNadF13-b6Bbkxj2liZjYAM4CJ5cJhVihfpzJOTIAYOT_eHOshKf_BkozddTwFSlIrYrb-KTKcBy8ndXadRT589ozLCcdTHuE43xNjekaATJUk-TEGbSs_yCIEwpREtOj4jIgxeUGlVf8OquuEgKeSkZw/w484-h640/Spin%20a%20Coin%20and%20Dot%20the%20Value.png" title="Spin and Dot Coin Values" width="484" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;"></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Dice Activities</h2><p style="text-align: left;">Dice activities are equally exciting in our house so I included some in the money unit. Students will roll a dice, identify the number on the dice, find the corresponding dice picture on the sheet, identify the name/value of the coin and color it it. They will continue until all of the coins are filled in. <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Coin-Activities-and-Center-Money-Unit-626040?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=Coin%20Unit%20Blog%20Post" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="825" data-original-width="625" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm1sqP1OakVfqerRJNr1YqGzcy1RwTr2Y5H5oCDASceJR9_SUpdbaP6vEQPavdi7HFDCq-iCy-f0c9jaUrQh_xzhbQe4SKr8V3y9EFBuamXjnp_rm2yjSflLtSh5mNP6Lkj5QEa4B8bU39ThJ94p-DZ8Od3VRAx3mgWajaFM-Fu1sSBma_qVd_czW3oA/w484-h640/Roll%20a%20Coin%20Money%20Activity.png" width="484" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;"></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Coin Sorting Mat</h2><p style="text-align: left;">Sorting coins is a valuable skill and allows children the opportunity to feel and see the different sides of the coins as they sort according to their kind. For this activity, I simply printed the mat on cardstock, but for prolonged use I would suggest laminating it so it holds up. Give the kids some coins and have them sort by coin name. </p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Coin-Activities-and-Center-Money-Unit-626040?utm_source=LPLGBlog&utm_campaign=Coin%20Unit%20Blog%20Post" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Coin Sorting Mat" border="0" data-original-height="825" data-original-width="625" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoW0E6a2EkeUgZhN1fvzcX1_tR5jJ4xMP_y9GyVheoWbXbDNmC1N_4LhenpZ7MnYwRqGevA0PDnj8XFXxob-Eu8uzWY1brWCJ-9cID3hm0Qge38004E4i2EUGjhkSp7aag2yIxrsisKk0BdL77WWlYO7SpoIl_-HaTN-zMRhjOG-2DBSADJHlXDp-B3Q/w484-h640/Coin%20Sorting%20Mat.png" title="Coin Sorting Mat" width="484" /></a></div> <br /><p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Coin Name Fluency</h2><p style="text-align: left;">We regularly doing dice fluency activities for some of our language arts skills and it has always been well received by my kids so I added some dice coin fluency mats into the pack when I gave it an update and it's been one of my little guy's favorite things.
