The Long Cold Winter

I’m back after a very long “break”!!  We had an absolutely crazy and hectic holiday season.  Then after the first of the year, we all got sick.  We had a very bad bronchitis that had the whole family down for the count.  We still have a cough, but we’re much better.

In my “down time”, I updated a ton of my files that I’ve created.  I had more than I remember and still have plenty to do.  I’ve really enjoyed finding all these things that I’ve made and can’t wait to share them here!!  Since today is Groundhog Day and he saw his shadow, which means 6 more weeks of winter, I decided I’d share my winter materials.  On top of that, here in OK, we had about 3″ of ice and that’s under 6″ of snow.  Crazy!!

Winter Badge

Here’s a list of the printables that you’ll find in the winter file….

  • 6 Coins Winter Fun Puzzle Cards – Match the amount of the 6 coins with the amount on the matching puzzle piece.
  • Winter Fun and Signs of Winter Mirror Cards – These work on symmetry skills.
  • Snowball! – This is my winter version of checkers.
  • Winter Fun CVC Puzzle Cards – Match the CVC word to the image of that word.
  • 3 Sets of Snowman Clothespin Cards – The cards work on matching shape to shape word, counting and matching the number of snowflakes to the numeral, and matching the color to the color word.
  • Winter Kids 3-Part Cards – Match the numeral, number word, and the amount of snowflakes.
  • Snowflake Shapes 2-Part Cards – Match the snowflake shape to the shape word.
  • Snow Fun Magnified – Use a magnifying glass to match the miniature image to the full size.
  • Winter Bingo – This is a bingo game for numbers 1-10.

If you’re interested in any of these printables, just click the image above.  You’ll be taken to the folder that contains all these files.  You can download all of them or just the ones that you want.

The clipart and graphics are from various sources.  Some of the artists are Denyse @ Scrappin’ Doodles, Katie Dupree, Graphics Factory, and Annette @ Kuntry Graphics.  Other images from internet sources and believed to be public domain and they are used for educational purposes without profit.

Clifford – The Big Red Dog

What kid doesn’t love Clifford the Big Red Dog??  I don’t think many!!  Today, I have a wide variety of Clifford materials for you.  I hope that you’ll find something that you can use and that the kids will enjoy!!

Clifford-discontinued

First up, there is a set of alphabet flashcards posters with the upper and lower case letter on each card and a set of flashcards posters that has the days and months on them.  There’s also a set of flashcards posters for 0-25 with the numeral and number word, as well as a set of US money posters with the front and back of each coin and the coin name.  The last set of flashcards posters is for colors and it features the color word with that color bone in Clifford’s mouth!!  All posters are 5 x 7 and could be used for large cards as well.

I created a set of 2-part cards for money using 4 coins for amounts less than $1 and a set for matching the colors of Clifford’s paw to the color word that Clifford and his friends are looking for.  There’s also a set of shape cards that can be used several ways.  They can be used to play concentration, “Go Fish”, “Old Maid”, or a variety of other things!!

Next is as set of clothespin cards for counting Clifford’s dog dishes or bones and a set for matching the lower case letter to Clifford’s upper case letter.  The final item is a set of word wall cards for Clifford and his friends.

Lucky Money

I took a break and tried to get my creative juices flowing again after all the madness of having something for everyday of the week for Dr. Seuss and the contest.  I’m ready to move on again and get to making things!!

I realized that I was running out of time to create for St. Patrick’s Day, so that’s what I got to work on first!!  This is a set of 2-part cards called Lucky Money.  The amount on the pot of gold is matched to that value in coins.  These go up to 99¢ and use quarters, dimes, nickles, and pennies.

The coins are © US Mint.  Graphics and background © A-Manda Creation with permission.

Here’s a thumbnail view of some of the cards….

Christmas Freebies

Today there will be no Nativity A Day posting, as it was a crazy busy day and I’m literally getting burned out creating the nativity items.  The nativity is like one of my most favorite things, but expecting myself to come up with something new was just asking too much of myself….at least right now.  I’m still uncertain if Nativity A Day will return or not tomorrow as I still have Christmas shopping to do other duties that really need tending to.

I do still have a couple of Christmas freebies to offer you though.  They are both sets of 2-part cards.  I’ll list each one separately so you can decide if you want one….or both of them!!

Christmas Graphics © Michelle @ 4 My Babies Scraps with permission.

The first set of 2-part cards is for counting 0-25.  They are Santa’s Counting Presents in His Sleigh and they will count the number of presents.  Then, the number of presents is matched to the numeral on Santa.

Here’s a thumbnail view of some of the 2-part cards in this set….

If you’re interested in these 2-part cards, please just click to….

The second set of 2-part cards are Decorate the Tree and they’re for matching alphabet upper and lower case letters.  The poor Christmas tree still isn’t decorated and Santa is on his way, so the tree with the upper case letter needs to be matched with the lower case letter of the ornament that will adorn the tree!!

Here’s a thumbnail view of some of the 2-part cards in this set…..
