P is for Paint - Printables

P is for PAINT

One of our favorite words around here!

 Here are a few printables I created with a paint theme. The free printables include: Complete the patterns, pre-writing trace, letter recognition, connect the colors, counting objects and cut and paste.

Thinking about Christmas

Candy Cane Patterns

A quick, simple and fun learning activity!

I cut a candy cane shape from cardboard. Then, I cut some red and green pipe cleaners into ~1.5 inch pieces.

I would start a pattern on the candy cane and let Little Mister finish it. We tried several different repeating patterns, like:

Red, Green

Red, Red, Green

Green, Red, Green

You get the idea!

He had fun and then......

An elf in a 4-wheeler showed up and ruined everything!

Merry Christmas!

Thinking about Christmas - Printables

My Little Mister is getting so excited about Christmas; the lights, the decorations, the crafts, Santa everywhere we go... Did I mention lights?? He is definitely giving me a much needed shove boost into the Christmas spirit this year!

Here are a few printables I created to keep in tune with this festive season!

As always, I hope you enjoy and give me some feed back.

You're a WHoot! with printables

Owls seem to be everywhere all of a sudden. I'm not jumping on the bandwagon, but my Little Mister really likes them. I am always trying to appeal to his interests when thinking of some learning activities. So, we have owls! 

 The free printables at the end of this post include: matching, fill in the color, letter recognition, complete the pattern, counting skills, maze, pre-writing skills, trace the letter and size sorting.

I hope you will try them with your kiddos and give me some feedback. Enjoy!

But first, Whoo Loves You? We made a cute little frame to answer that question!

We painted 6 large craft sticks brown. Then, we glued them all together. We added juice lids for eyes and a construction paper beak. Little Mister picked out this particular picture that he wanted in the frame. One of my early favorites of the chunky monkey!

We also made a cute little owlet from a pine cone, two cotton balls, two google eyes, a construction paper beak and a cardboard circle. Easy and very cute!

Did you know you can dry and make your pine cones open by placing them in the oven? It also leaves a warm, earthy smell in your house! Love it.

Some great owl-ee books we enjoyed also:

Here are our owl-lovin' printables for the week! If you try them please give me some feedback. I want to know what you liked or (gulp) disliked about them. Thanks and enjoy!

Yo Ho Matey! with Printables

Yo Ho, Yo Ho a pirate's life for me!
I'm not sure what the fascination is with pirates but my Little Mister thinks they are great. I admit it, I like the Johnny Depp version myself!

Here is our attempt of living a pirate's life for a day! 

I have also created some pirate theme printables including: letter recognition, size selection, color and shape review, pre-writing skills, tracing letters, patterns, number matching, counting and more. Take a look at the end of this post!

 

You all know how much I love hand print crafts. I couldn't resist making this cute little pirate!

What are pirates without their ships? Here is a cute little one we made while reviewing some shapes: squares and rectangles.

All truly worthy pirate ships have at least one thing in common .... The PLANK! Here we are working on some motor skills, enjoying the nice weather and walking the plank!

Then, we worked on some observation skills while inspecting our buried treasure!

Hope you enjoyed our attempt at a pirate's life.

Don't forget to check out our printables below. I would love to hear from someone who tried them with their little one's!
