Thrifty Thursday # 8

Welcome welcome! We had SO many awesome link ups this last week, that is was REALLY hard to pick my personal top two! I did go through and visit EVERY blog this week, thanks so much for being understanding about the week prior. OK Let’s get this party started!Let’s take a look at the featured posts from last week!

Top Two Most Clicked Links

#1: Jessica over at What’s Fun Today shared the fun activities she did to go with Jan Brett’s The Mitten. She drew a mitten on a ziplock bag, and her children were able to use small toy animals to fill the mitten (like in the story). The best part? She also did this activity on her home made light table! Too fun! They also did an adorable mitten craft as well!

#2: One of my fellow SLPs over at Chapel Hill Snippets shared a great FREE printable book all about feelings. It could be a great activity to go along with Valentines, or could be used anytime to help teach little ones about feelings.

My Top Two Picks

#1:Emma over at Mummy Mummy Mum shared an activity that I just fell in love with. To help her son work on his reading skills, she wrote down words on dinosaur foot prints and placed them on the floor so that he could read as he stepped on them! They had races, and she also made some with numbers on them for her younger daughter. How fun! I LOVE this, because of how you can adapt this for ANY learning! Numbers, letters, words, shapes, colors. You can also do different animal prints, or ay shapes (like hearts for Valentines). I love activities that get kids UP and moving!

#2: Sierra over at H is for Homeschooling has been busy this week making her first set of printables and did an AWESOME job! She created an adorable book based on Brown Bear Brown Bear to help celebrate Chinese New Year. Dragon, Dragon What do You See is a great free book to help teach you littles both colors and the animals of the Chinese Zodiac…AND it is a coloring book too so it works on fine motor skills!
