World of Dinosaurs (A Timberdoodle Review)

Want to make a world of difference in your kids' lives this upcoming holiday season? If you have kids that like to stay busy, the World of Dinosaurs dino box is a must have. This box was a hit for my elementary aged kids and was the perfect rainy day activity. This box is part of the Timberdoodle First Grade Kit. Younger kids are more than capable to work on these crafts and the quality keeps older ones entertained too.

I appreciate that each craft in this box is self-explanatory, does not include a million pieces that could get lost under the couches, and provides fun creations that can be played with or displayed. The three dinosaurs pictured above have provided hours of entertainment for my youngest two boys. Once made, they created a world for them to live in and let their imaginations run wild. The materials are sturdy and durable allowing for play for the long haul.

Some of the other crafts were perfect for my daughter who is slightly older. She was able to express her creativity resulting in a quality product to display. The one below was been displayed in our homeschool area for months. She is proud of her work, and loves how it looks hanging up.

I appreciate the booklet that comes in the box showing how to create each craft yet allows room for creativity.

Sometimes I would go to the Dollar Store and pick up craft items for the kids only for them to break the next day. How frustrating for the kids! Even some of the local craft stores do not supply the same quality products as Timberdoodle. Timberdoodle craft kits are super durable, fun, and 100% worth the cost. I highly recommend picking a kit or two up for Christmas this year or storing some away for birthday gifts. This kit is one of many found on the Timberdoodle site. Stay tuned for more reviews on several other kits, games, and educational activities that they provide.

Original 13 Colonies Fact Cards (Free Printable)

These Thirteen Colonies Fact Cards were created for my kids as we studied early American history. What a pivotal time in our history! Puritans seeking religious freedom, adventurers setting out for a new land, and those in debt hoping for a fresh start—a new life. From the first colony in Virginia, until all thirteen stars on the first American flag were represented, these cards are a perfect review for your homeschoolers. Use them to drill the first thirteen colonies so your child can recite them with ease, and have them dictate the information on the cards to help them remember a small fact about each colony. Feel free to print these out and have your children write facts that they learn about each colony on the back. Go ahead and laminate them, too! Simply right-click, save, and print to use this resource in your homeschool as you study about the original thirteen colonies in America. Use the facts for dictation, copy work, or discussion in your home. Disclaimer: All co...

Truck-Themed Homeschool Chore Chart

Use this truck-themed homeschool chore chart to keep your kids on track throughout the school week. With lessons, field trips, meals, and unexpected errands filling up your week, even the simplest chore chart can help your home run more smoothly. At times, kids are excited for the new opportunity to help out around the house and do it with joy. Other times they stomp toward the trash can with anything but a good attitude. Help keep attitudes in check by using stickers, smiley faces, or positive verbal reinforcement as your child completes each task on the chart. For the child who loves lists (and the mom) this is the perfect free printable to have on hand! (Simply right-click, save, and print)

The Pencil Grip Inc. {Review}

We have found what we have been looking for in The Pencil Grip Inc .'s 24 pack of Magic Stix Washable Markers . These markers are the perfect fit for a homeschooling family such as ours. I am thrilled to tell you about our experience with them! Normally, I do not have a favorable impression of markers for several reasons. For one, as a kid, I remember markers having such a strong smell that it would give me a headache. I know some kids enjoyed the scents but it certainly was not for me. And to be honest, if I had markers like that in my house today, my kids would probably stick them up their nose or something. Another reason I have a distaste for markers is the drying out factor. As a parent of many children this is super frustrating. I finally teach the older ones to put the caps back on when they are done using their markers but then a younger one comes along and just doesn't understand. This then leads to the undue frustration of your child sitting down to...
