Christmas Cards From the Kids!

By 1 Comment

Finding Christmas Cards that your kids can make can be difficult. Today, we’ve created a set of holiday cards that will help your little ones add a personalized touch this Christmas. This set includes Christmas Cards, as well as Thank You cards each with a holiday theme. Each card prints on a single sheet of paper and can be folded into shape.

Free Printable Thank You Cards

When children are younger, it can be hard to find ways for them to write their own Thank You cards. For reluctant writers, even the thought of filling in the blank page can be daunting. We’ve created a free printable Thank You Card Word Bank that will provide your kiddos with a list of common words they might use when writing a thank you card.

Thank You Cards From Kids

Each card can be folded into shape by following the guidelines. Inside each card, you’ll find that there are helpful writing lines to help your students keep their writing tidy. Students can use the word bank to craft their thank you message.

Thank You Card Word Bank

This printable set includes 8 different cards, some for Christmas cards and some for Thank you cards. There are adorable characters like Santa, Reindeer, Christmas Tress, Penguins, Snowmen, Gingerbread Men, and more!

You might pair this activity up with some Christmas erasers for some extra holiday fun. Your students will LOVE to write their holiday cards with fun Christmas characters as erasers! We purchased a set that includes Christmas Trees, Stockings, Snowmen, Gingerbread Men, and more.

Christmas Coloring Countdown Printable

By 2 Comments

Last Minute Christmas Countdown

Did you forget to do a Pinterest worthy Advent Calendar this year?  Don’t worry, I’m right there with you. I blame Thanksgiving. It was just too close to Christmas this year, wasn’t it?  I mean, I ordered a bunch of tiny treats to put in my wooden advent calendar but I just never got the Christmas Rubbermaid out of the garage in time…and here we are half way through December.

Well, look. Today I have a simple, no-excuses Christmas countdown calendar you can print up for your kiddo.  There are not mini-chocolates or extra things required. Just print it up, make a few cuts, and you’ll have yourself a working countdown calendar that your little one will look forward to for the rest of the month.  And hey…..just tell them they get to color in the first 12 days as a special 12-days of Christmas bonus.

Free Printable Christmas Countdown

Let’s face it….there is just something so FUN about counting down to Christmas Day! Children LOVE to wake up and mark another day off the calendar. You might already have a felt advent calendar, or even a wooden advent calendar, but there is something extra fun and unique about creating your own countdown keepsake.

Simple Christmas Countdown Calendar

I’ve seen quite a few Christmas countdown calendars over the years, and while they are super-cute, sometimes they are just too much work to set up! Especially when Thanksgiving ends up really close to Christmas, there just isn’t enough time to transition from one holiday to the next. Well, this Christmas Countdown Coloring project solves that problem as it couldn’t be simpler.

To set up this countdown calendar, all you need to do is print out the two pages; the cover sheet that includes the numbered windows, and the background sheet that contains the pictures. Use scissors, or an Exacto knife to cut the windows on three sides as shown in the photos, then glue the cover sheet over the sheet with all the pictures.

Each morning, when you child wakes up, have them open another window and color in the Christmas picture! Every day they’ll be greeted with a new festive holiday character to color in. By the time Christmas comes around, you’ll have a special keepsake of their hard work you can keep for years to come! If you have nieces and nephews, or if you are sponsoring a child overseas, this is a lightweight advent calendar you can send along for not very much in postage.

Christmas Coloring Countdown

Print this free countdown to Christmas calendar on cardstock for best results. If you have colored paper for the the numbers that would add some holiday cheer!

Winter Fine Motor Skills: January Pack

By Leave a Comment

It always surprises me how cold the weather gets before we are even in the winter season.  For the past few years, here in Southern Oregon we’ve had snow before Thanksgiving even, which has been quite a surprise.  This year, thankfully, we have yet to have a big snowstorm, and this homeschooling mama is A-okay with that!  In fact, I could easily go a few years without missing the snow at all.  My kids think I’m crazy, because of course, they love the snow and all the winter fun in brings.

Anyway, with winter on the horizon, I wanted to be sure to finish our Fine Motor Pack for January.  January’s themes are winter, ice skating, snowmen, snowflakes and cold weather clothing.   And it is FILLED with fun, hands-on activity pages that will have your kiddos begging for more.   

  •     Thematic Tracing Pages
  •     Cut & Paste Sequencing
  •     Thematic Mazes
  •     Dab & Dot Mystery Pictures
  •     Pom-Pom Pages
  •     Popsicle Stick Craftivities
  •     Pattern Block Pictures
  •     Playdough Mats
  •     Pin & Poke Pictures and more!
If you are looking for some great fine motor manipulatives, check out our top picks here!
(Suggested Materials are recommended at the botom of this post)

Here is a peek inside our January Fine Motor Pack:

MAZES: Students solve the mazes and follow the prompts. Each page features thematic mazes alongside a tracing activity or prompt.

POM PICTURES: Students use pom-poms to complete the picture.For added difficulty have students use plastic tweezers to pick up the poms. Alternatively, students can glue poms to make these sheets into a simple craft project.  HINT:  Glitter Poms make for some fun Winter pictures!

TRACING: Students trace the pictures with colored pencils or fine tip markers. Each page features thematic content and prompts students to complete the pictures.

PLAYDOUGH: Students use playdough to complete the prompts.Prompts require students to form and shape the dough to make pictures, solve problems, or complete the scene.

GEOBOARD: Students use rubberbands to create the pictures on a geoboard. Each sheet features a letter of the alphabet alongside a thematic picture.

SNAP CUBE CREATIONS: Students use counting cubes to make thematic pictures These cubes can be snapped together. If you do not have cubes, students can color the squares in the grid to match the picture.

PUZZLE PICTURES: Students use pattern blocks to create thematic pictures. These sheets feature thematic shapes and provide students with easy and more dificult patterns. A full color example is available for easy reference.

DOT & POKE: Students cut apart the halves. Students solve the dot to dot activities.Then, students use a push pin to poke a picture onto colored construction paper. See full instructions below.

CUT & SORT CROWNS: Each crown features a theme alongside a 4-step sequencing pattern. Students cut out the pictures and glue them in the correct order. Students write their name, color the pictures, then staple the sides to make a crown.

DAB & DOT: Students use daubers to dab by number in order to reveal the mystery picture. (Hold at a distance to help students see the pictures).

CUT & PASTE CRAFTIVITY: These crafty projects are perfect for little hands.Students color, glue, and cut to make fun, thematic pictures.Pair with a simple writing prompt or poem for extra learning!

POM PICTURES:  Students use pom-poms to complete the picture.For added difficulty have students use plastic tweezers to pick up the poms. Alternatively, students can glue poms to make these sheets into a simple craft project.

BONUS Calendar:

For a little extra fun, we’ve included a bonus calendar at the back of the pack. We recommend printing this page on cardstock. Students fill out the calendar and glue wiggly eyes on the characters. This is great small motor control to practice squeezing the glue carefully enough to make a single dot.

REQUIRED MATERIALS:

· Pencil, Scissors, Glue

SUGGGESTED MATERIALS:   (HERE ARE OUR TOP PICKS)

· Geoboard & Bands

· Playdough

· Snap Cubes

· Puzzle Blocks

· Push Pin

· Dab & Dot Markers

· Pom-Poms

· 10mm Wiggle Eyes

· Popsicle Sticks

· Page Protectors

What’s Included:

This pack includes 40 pages of hands-on activities and resources you can use to enhance your classroom for an entire month. These resources have specifically been developed to keep the prep work to a minimum, while providing ample opportunity for your students to build their small motor muscles.

How to Use:

The pack is organized into four weeks, and the simplest way to use this resource is to print it out and place into a three ring-binder. However, you might want to place many of the pages in page protectors for reuse. The first six pages of each week are considered non-consumable and could easily be reused through out the years (Geoboard, Mazes, Playdough, Tracing, Cube Creations, Puzzle Pictures). The remaining four pages of each week are considered consumable as they require cutting, gluing, dabbing and poking (Dot & Poke, Cut & Sort, Dab & Dot, Pom Pictures). Many pages are adaptable if you do not have the manipulatives. For example, you can have students color instead of dab, or build.


There are really just TOO many activities to list them all! Be sure to check out the complete set in our TPT Store Here!   Our monthly fine motor packs have been a huge hit, and if you’d like to order other months you can find them in our TPT store here.   We are currently working on February so be sure you are subscribed or follow along for that! 

Fine Motor Skills Printables for December

By 1 Comment

Winter is coming!!  Here in Southern Oregon, we have yet to have snowfall this year. Which, is a-okay with me because this homeschool mama has a very steep driveway to maneuver down each winter.  

My children pray for snow every year, because said driveway becomes the best sledding ramp on this side of the river.  Helmet required fast.  

Anyway, with winter on the horizon, I wanted to be sure to release an update for our December Fine Motor Activity Pack.   This pack originally contained 24 printable activities, and I’ve doubled it to 48!   And it is FILLED with fun, hands-on activity pages that will have your kiddos begging for more.

Nativity Art Project for Kids

By 1 Comment

 

Christmas is right around the corner (is it December already?) and today I’ve got a brand new art tutorial for children.  This project can be done by students of any age (with adult help) but it is recommended for children 8-12 years old.   The best part of this project is that it requires very little materials and the results are stunning!

 

Materials:

  • Chalk Pastels
  • Black Paint
  • Glue
  • Black Construction Paper

Step 1: Make Black Glue

Black glue is made simply by pouring black paint into your glue bottle.  I emptied our glue bottle just a bit then filled it up with paint.  Shake it around quite a bit to mix it in.

Step 2: Draw Your Nativity Scene

Using your black glue, draw a nativity scene.  Start with the basic outline of the stable.  Put a star on top, then draw rays coming from the star.  Make the baby Jesus in the middle of the stable then create Mary and Joseph.  If you are doing this project with very young students consider making this glue outline before hand, or doing something more simple like a Christmas Star.

Set aside to dry for a couple of hours.

Step 3: Color the Star

Using the chalk pastels color the star yellow, and each one of the rays a different color.  Use your finger to help the chalk get into the cracks.

 

 

Step 4: Illuminating the Stable

Color the majority of the stable white with just a line of blue around the inside edge.  Leave room near the bottom to draw the ground.

 

Step 5: Blend, Blend, Blend

Use a clean finger, and make small circular motions to blend the blue into the white as shown.

 

Step 6: Golden Glow

Using a golden yellow, color and blend to make hay at the bottom of the stable.   Illuminate the manger to show the Baby Jesus.  Blend with your finger to putt the color outwards.

 

 

All Done!

Hang your stunning Chalk Pastel Nativity Scene where you can enjoy it all year long!

christmassymbolsprintablesChristmas can be overwhelming…..and the true message of Christmas can often get lost in all the “Holiday” festivities.  On our sister site we provide many free printables that teach children about the true meaning of Christmas.  We also have snow and candy cane themes you can use to point children to Christ during the Winter activities.

Today we’ve added a new section on the website that covers Christmas Symbols and their Meanings.  This is a great way to show children that all of the activities that take place during the Christmas holiday are intended to point back to Christ and the sacrifice he made for us.

  • The Tree points to heaven and reminds us that God is eternal.
  • The Wreath is a circle and reminds us that God’s love for us is also eternal.
  • The Candle shines brightly, showing us that Jesus is the light of the World
  • The Bells ring out a celebration to announce the coming King.
  • The Baby in a manger shows the birth of the Jesus, the Lord and Savior of the world.
  • The Candy Cane is shaed like a shepherd’s staff, reminding us that Jesus is our shepherd.
  • The Star was placed in the sky for the wise men to follow.
  • The Holly is sharp like the crown of thorns, the berries are red like the blood he shed.
  • The Cross reminds us of the sacrifice that Jesus made for our sins.
  • The Presents remind us of God’s gift to the world

I’ve created these puppets to be just the right size for your preschool classroom, simply print on carstock, Laminate and then punch out the finger holes.  (Do be careful to keep the edges smooth….try using a hole puncher instead of scissors)

This would make a great set of puppets you can use in your pretend play center.  If you’re short on time I supposed you could just glue a craft stick to the backs of them as well, but children really do LOVE to make the characters walk around on the tables….they just look adorable don’t they?

Christmas Cards Kids Can Make

Ornament1

Children love to make gifts for friends and families at Christmastime.

Today I’ve created a simple art project for kids, that will provide them with stunning prints they can use to make Christmas cards or wrapping paper this year.

Ornament9

Materials:

Printing Plates (or styrafoam tray….ask your butcher for extras)

Paint & Brush  (brayer if you have one)

Round Object to Trace

Paper and Pencil

 

Ornament10

First, find a round object to trace.  Use your pencil to press into the printing plate (styrafoam) so that your picture shows….don’t press too hard or you’ll go through to the back.

The circle will be your ornament, and the line will be the string.
Ornament8

Decorate your ornament with different designs.

Ornament7

Paint over your design, trying NOT to press large amounts of paint into the grooves of your design.  This is where a brayer comes in handy!

Ornament6

Turn your stamp over and press onto your paper.  Gently press all areas without wiggling it around :)

Ornament5Carefully remove your stamp and you’ll be left with a beautiful inking on your page. Allow the stamp to dry before trying other colors.
Ornament2

The printing plates are beautiful as well.  We always save ours for later use:

Ornament4
Tip: If you’re putting words on your ornament you’ll need to write the letters backwards.  You can write the word you want in marker on a piece of printer paper.  Turn the paper over and you can see through the paper how you should write your letters on your ornament.

Christmas is such an amazing outreach opportunity for Children’s Ministry.

Many new students will be coming to your classrooms this Winter, and I wanted to make a few resources you can use or send home with children next month.

These are simple special reminders to children that God has created them unique, and loves them eternally. The pages are designed for little hands to color in, you might even add a little sparkle with some glitter or glitter gel pens.

There are some great books you can pair with these coloring pages if you want to make a theme in your classroom as well.

God Made Me Unique Snowflake Coloring Page

SnowflakeBentlySnowflake Bentley From the time he was a small boy in Vermont, Wilson Bentley saw snowflakes as small miracles. And he determined that one day his camera would capture for others the wonder of the tiny crystal. Bentley’s enthusiasm for photographing snowflakes was often misunderstood in his time, but his patience and determination revealed two important truths: no two snowflakes are alike; and each one is startlingly beautiful.

This is a simple Wise Men Bible Coloring Page you can use to follow up any lesson or story reading on the visit of the Maji.  I know many believe the Wise Men to have visited the newborn baby Jesus, but the Bible tells us that in fact he was likely closer to a toddler when the Wise Men came.  The Visit of the Wise Men by Martha Jander tells the accurate story of this visit, and would be a wonderful addition to your Christmas book collection.

FrostyFrosty the Snowman is such a beloved tale around Christmas!  Children love the magical story of a snowman come to life for a day and I thought it would be fun to make a Bible Verse coloring page you could use to tie in with this Winter story.

This coloring page features a verse and reads, “The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.” Job 33:4 ESV

This would be a great way to follow up the story by explaining to children that while Frosty is a pretend story, God really does fill us with his Spirit and create in us a NEW LIFE. We become an entirely NEW CREATION, filled with his power and love.
