Let's Learn Center

My kiddos seem to like learning new things if it is done in a fun way that relates to their interests.  There are soooo many blogs of great quick and easy activities to do at home with the tiny tot set.  I seem to pin a lot of these ideas to Pinterest, but don't always sit down to actually make the activities even though a lot of the time I have the supplies at home already.  I needed a way to get things a little bit more organized and easily accessible.  I decided to sit down and actually do a few of the activities and then organize them in a crate with hanging file folders.

  Here are some of the activities that I completed this month for the kids to do:

I printed and laminated this great Dump Truck Counting Mat to use with some transportation beads we have.  I printed and laminated these Lego Counting Mats as well.

I was really excited when I saw that these boy themed lace up cards were the free shape of the week from Silhouette recently.  We love lace cards at our house.  I printed them out, used the Silhouette to cut them out, laminated them and then punched the holes in.

I also printed up, cut and laminated a bunch of these Lego Patterns cards.

I also love the Preschool and Tot Learning Packs from this website.  I've printed up and laminated the packs for Cars, Doc McStuffins, and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  They have all been a hit at our house!

Reusable To Do List

This month Allison took an 8x10 frame and put a piece of decorative lined scrapbook paper in it. She used scrapbooking stickers to add the "To Do" title and put start bullet points down the side of the list.  This will go up by the front door of her apartment with dry erase markers to add and erase items that she needs to get done.

Organization

My 4 year old helped with this. I cut pockets and inserts out with my Silhouette. She decorated the pockets. On each insert, we made a daily to do list on one side for her and the other for me. Hopefully it will help all of us stay focused and motivated in our crazy, busy lives.
