First Day of Spring Activities

Tomorrow is the first day of spring and here are a couple of activities from my blog that we plan to do.  You can find these printables in a free download at the end of this post.

Roll a flower:  Just print the page and grab a dice.  You can do one for each player or just share the main page and use your own blank paper.  The first player will roll a dice.  If they get a 2 they will draw a flower pot.  Then then their turn is over.  If they already have rolled the number they do nothing and it moves to the next person.  Continue taking turns until someone has finished their flower.

Nature Scavenger hunt you can use this page and check off items as you see them.  Another fun thing I've done in the past was to give each of my kids a paper bag and let them gather different items from outside.  We brought them in and made a collage with their collections.  I think we are going to take a camera and take pictures of the items as we find them.  After we will download and print and make a collage.

Our final activity is to make graham cracker bird houses.  You can find my post for this here.

Amazing activity for your Church Bag

I am always looking for something to add to my church bag that will keep my kids happy and quiet during Sacrament Meeting.  With 5 kids and my husband in the bishopric this is a must for me. These adorable books from KangaToys are perfect!  Right now she has a Book of Mormon and New Testament addition. They are so, so cute and fun!  They are requested every single week during church and often at home.  My kids absolutely love them.  These would be amazing to use as a quiet activity during General Conference or a great Easter gift.

Have you tried aqua brushes before?  They are absolutely mesmerizing. My kids kept yelling "wow" and "look at this!" Good thing we tested them out at home first :)  Another really cool thing about these books is there is a find the picture game.  My kids love hunting for the different items.

The pictures are so cute and once painted the colors are so vibrant and gorgeous!  I love that they are reusable (they dry quickly).  Also that its a very clean activity-No mess at all!  You just use water. For church I fill the brushes a head of time and toss both books and brushes in a gallon sized Ziploc bag. Super easy!

A huge thank you to Michelle from KangaToys for sending us these books to try.  After testing them out for a month I can safety say these books are amazing!  I am hoping she comes out with some more books so I can purchase them for our collection.

20 Fun March Holidays (Free Printable Calendar)

March is full of some fun and kind of quirky holidays. I am kind of excited about Dr. Seuss Day and Napping day haha. This free calendar is full of kid friendly ones that I think will be perfect to incorporate into our preschool plan and use it as a fun way to connect with my kids. My older kids love to join in too!  Simply download a copy of the calendar, print, and display.  You do not need to celebrate all of them (we probably won't) just pick and choose what works for you and your family.

I'll be posting ideas as I finalize my plans and also as we celebrate some of these holidays.  My hope is that this will be something fun for your family and a way to create some special memories.  I'd love to hear your ideas and see pictures of your celebrations!

Holiday's came from here and here.

Sorry it's been a crazy week.  Come Follow Me lesson helps will be up sometime tomorrow.  Thanks for understanding and see soon :)

Free Valentine Counting Clip Cards

I have a cute freebie for your little ones today!  These clip cards are a fun way to practice counting and number recognition.  They will count the number of hearts and clip a clothespin on the correct number.  There are cards for numbers 0-10.  To prep print either on cardstock or laminate for durability.  Cut the cards apart.  Super quick and easy.  My preschoolers have been loving clip cards and hope your kids do too :)

You can find this FREEBIE in my TPT store.  If you do not have a Teachers Pay Teachers account I highly recommend it!  It's free to sign up (you don't have to be a teacher) and you will find tons of amazing resources for teaching your kids.  Lots and lots are free! 

Due to some unexpected plans this week the next Come Follow Me lesson will be posted sometime tomorrow (Sunday).  Thanks for being patient with me :)
