How to Make Cool Stuff
Learn how to use Duplo and Lego Blocks to get your child to learn his or her sight words. Also learn how to use them to help your child learn to form and sound out words. This is a lot of fun!
Today I’m going to show you how to make a changing story board. You can bring your stories to life by using your creativity and a little bit of imagination. As the story evolves you can change your story board to depict the story you are trying to tell to your family and friends. You will actually have moveable figures and changeable backgrounds for your story…. what better way to actually tell your story than to have visuals. So, grab the materials needed and let’s get started.
St. Patrick’s Day will be here before you know it…. so in the spirit of that this craft is all about St. Patrick’s Day. In this post I will be showing you how to make a St. Patrick’s Day Matching Game. This craft is perfect for the Preschool crafter as this game is all about matching the size of each shape of the shamrocks. Get a couple Preschoolers together and listen to them giggle as they try to match the shape of the shamrocks. So, with that being said…. let’s get started.

So grab the materials needed and let’s get started.
Today I will show you how to make a really cool Memory game that is great for any age child, but especially good for preschoolers and Kindergarteners who are still working on Alphabet Letters recognition.

Today we are going to how to play a fun Montessori game that promotes good hand writing skills while also helping kids to learn the alphabet on their own.
