Playdough Mats - Fun Play and a Lifetime Access!

Do you love playdough mats? We are obviously big fans of playdough and the DIY picture mats that go along with it! Through the years of making these playdough mats for my kids (incorporated in my thematic units), I have been receiving requests from followers to produce a "just the mats" printable file. So I finally gave in to the requests and created a LIFETIME ACCESS to our playdough mats collection.

Playdough mats are so much fun!! Use these for hands-on learning and for your fine motor skills activities. Roll, cut and form the pictures on the mats using playdough and trace the words for your vocabulary skills. Use these in any of your center and thematic activities.

Bible Stories Story Sequencing and Activity Sets

If you have been a follower of my blog for a long time, you know that we do lots of Bible stories activities during Lent. I posted the links below of our past Bible activities in observance of Lent. This year, since we've been doing the Story of Easter and Death of Christ for years, I decided to explore other favourite stories of mine as a child with the kids. Read on below to know more about how we use our learning materials at home.

Directed Drawing Activity Pack - Seasons

Heard of directed drawings?  These are instructional materials that provide step-by-step instruction (through illustrations) on how to draw an object.  I started making these last year in my shop because Vito enjoys this activity.  He was frustrated that he doesn't know how to draw, so I made him a few of these, and he loved it! He gained confidence in drawing, and with practice, he can now draw some objects on his own.    Anyway, I'd like to introduce our Seasons Themed Directed Drawing Pack.  Below you will find previews and ideas on how we use these at home (and, of course, can be used in schools too!).
