Sticker Hero (A Timberdoodle Review)

What do you do with your little learners when their hands are itching for activities? Sticker Hero, part of Timberdoodle's PreK Curriculum Kit, is what my youngest has been using now that we have started the new homeschooling year. With over 506 stickers to use within 35 activities, this book is a perfect to addition to any homeschool with younger learners.

Helping to build confidence, the Sticker Hero book provides creative play for can-do kids. They get so excited with the first few pages because of the simplicity and then they barely realize that they are increasing in difficulty as they work through the pages. After a few pages in, my son did ask a few questions as far as needing to understand the instructions, but overall, he was able to work on the book independently. This makes it the perfect book to have on hand while teaching the older ones. I am right there and available to answer questions if any come up, but, to be honest, they rarely do.

I loved sticker books as a kid and so did my older kids. The Sticker Hero book takes sticker books to a whole new level! Combining education with fun and bright colors, you are not left fighting with perforated paper stickers that you need to lick and attempt to adhere to a paper sheet, that can lead to a wet mess. Instead, each of the pages are glossy and the stickers are glossy, too. These are high quality and teach valuable skills including reasoning, numbers, and critical thinking.

The characters in the book are super adorable and so are the activities. How cute is it to create pictures and play games with ice-cream party, playground, and train themes? The variety of activities makes this book fun for boys and girls with all kinds of interests. My son loved all of the food-related activities from the cookie page to the restaurant one.

Even though this was created for preschoolers, my first grader is the one that has been using this which is why I would expand the age range to kindergarten and first graders. You might even see your three-year-old enjoying this! Some kids enjoy activities that are geared towards younger learners to help with review and to make learning more enjoyable. This is the perfect morning basket addition to encourage your little one to practice simple skills first thing in the morning before moving on into more challenging activities. Those small wins in the morning are key to a successful homeschool day!

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...

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.

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...
