I have always loved window cards. Whether I punch a small window from the corner of a card or make the window a major focal image like today's card. Let me share how easy window cards are to create.
I'm lucky to have a 2 hour Language Arts block (and I have an additional 45-minute writing block earlier in the day). I start with a read aloud, a

Live Laugh Love Hearts cross stitch pattern... Love to live, live to laugh, laugh because you love.
Hello again, I am back to share some more colouring and another card that I created using the Live Laugh Love stamp set from Art Impressions. This time I used the larger image of three friends having a laugh. When I went to create my card I decide that the coloured panel was too large so I used a smaller rectangle die to cut a smaller panel. I cut a few panels of design paper and matted all three panels with some brown card stock. For the finishing touch I added a couple of drops of Duck Egg Blue Nuvo Crystal Drops. Below is a list of the supplies I used. Stamps: Art Impressions - Live Laugh Love Dies: Hero Arts - Nesting Rectangle Infinity Dies Ink: Simon Says Stamp - Intense Black Copic Markers: See Picture Above Other: Recollections - 110lb White card stock and 65lb Brown card stock, My Mind's Eye - Miss Caroline (Dilly Dolly) 6x6 paper pad, Nuvo Drops - Duck Egg Blue Thank you so much for dropping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

It's time for another Monday Made It! I actually did some calculating today, and there are only 3 more Mondays after today until I go back ...
We are getting major fall weather vibes over here! I love it, but would love a few more weeks of summer weather! We had a fun week filled with different apple activities! We started our week by making red play dough! I even added a little cinnamon! The little man went outside to find leaves and sticks to add to our apple. They turned out so cute! I shared these on my Instagram, but we used these apple color cards to sort pom poms. You can grab these HERE. I created these pattern cards to start learning about patterns. We did better with AB patterns, but I included AABB, AAB, ABB, and ABC patterns, too. You can grab these HERE. This was a fun gross motor activity! I taped an apple to a fly swatter. I found apple scented bubbles at Walmart in their end of the summer clearance. We would use the fly swatter and pop as many bubbles as we could! This was another fun apple center that I shared. I printed the apple shapes on red paper, then put them in a sensory bin. I added paper clips to each apple and we used a magnet to "pick" each letter. I included 8 different shapes and 3 different recording sheets. Each recording sheet has a different number of shapes. The sheet with the most you would need to print off two sets of apple shapes. Grab them HERE. *This post contains affiliate links which means I earn a small commission at no additional cost to you*
The perfect addition to your basketball themed activities. Your students will have fun sorting and "dunking" the words by the number of syllables it has. This pack includes 24 word cards and basketball sorters.
Happy Tuesday! Check out what we did today! I set up our table with black paper, white pieces of square paper, and glue! I put our glue on a plate and added brushes! This was the perfect fine motor activity and the little ones LOVED painting! We painted our glue onto our black paper then, stuck on our pieces of white paper. The painting part was way more fun, so I helped with the pieces of white paper. Next, I cut around the white paper! Then, I added our feet, beak, and eyes! I think they turned out adorable! Add more fine motor practice and let your little ones rip the paper! Let me know if you try this one out!

We had lots of fun with this dental health theme! Grab the lesson plans HERE! Check out some of the activities we did! Make a Toothbrush: I cut a long rectangle out of red and smaller rectangles out of white! I wrote numbers 1-5 on the white rectangles. Then, we counted backward and glued the bristles to the toothbrush! Finally, we decorated our toothbrush! Flossing: I put small pieces of play dough in the cracks of a big block. We took yarn to practice "flossing" those pieces out! Marshmallow Mouth: I cut out a long oval out of red paper. Then, we glued our marshmallows on it to make it look like a mouth of teeth! Tooth Fairy Wand: I used a template for this BUT cut out a skinny rectangle and a star to make something similar! Decorate using sparkly paint! Roll and Brush: I took the template from our shaving cream brushing to do this one! I laminated it and wrote numbers on it! Then, we rolled our dice and used our toothbrush to brush away the number we rolled! Cotton Ball Tooth: Take a tooth template and decorate it using cotton balls! Free Art-Decorate a Tooth: This one I gave each kiddo a blank tooth and they got to use whatever supplies they wanted to decorate it! A great open ended art activity! Tooth Hop: This has the same idea as our Jumping Hearts that we did last week, but instead of using hearts use the tooth letter cards! 1. Playdoh Kit 2. Plastic Mouth with Tools 3. Alligator Game 4.

It was another sweet day as the volunteering helper at Lily's Playschool. I just love this glimpse into her world and am thankful she is still so young as to be thrilled to have my company!! ;) It's so fun seeing her there, so independent and confident (always ready to stick up her hand and offer her thoughts and ideas during Rug time), so involved (non-stop crafting action) and interacting with her little buddies. Those tightly clutched, dimpled hands... I was touched when one of her teacher's told me how well-mannered Lily was - 'without fail' she was polite to those around her and the teacher was so impressed. A little bit of pay-off for Mama, haha! Manners are a big deal in our family, to me they are the foundation of learning to show respect and consideration to those around you. Like so much with little kids, these simple words start on the outside (they are encouraged to say them even when they don't fully understand or feel it quite yet) and over time they reach the inside (they internalise the habit, respect and kindness the words represent). I was thrilled to know Lily was speaking kindly and politely to her teachers and little friends in my absence. Yee-ha! But what I witnessed later in the day moved me even more. A little girl was having a sad day at school, quietly whimpering and withdrawn. The teachers and I gave her lots of time and cuddles but she just seemed sad. I watched as Lily intently walked past her (no doubt on her way to another craft), yet noticed her and stopped. 'Why are you sad for?' she said with childish matter-of-factness. Lily then gave her a hug, wrapping those precious little arms around her new friend. No more words were needed in child-land. Who needs explanations when the feelings are so evident. Lily took her hand, led her to an activity and involved her in her play. My beautiful girl... Later in the day, I noticed Lily go up to her again to check on her friend. Lily held her hand, put her other hand on the girl's back in a hilariously grown-up and consoling manner. Lily peered into her face and enquired gently 'Are you feeling happy now?'. The little girl didn't have much to say, so Lily took her hand again and led her to the rug for Storytime, sitting next to her and giving her encouraging smiles. Lily glanced over at me and I smiled the smile of a proud mother trying not to openly weep during Storytime!!! ;) I saw the little girl reach out and stroke Lily's long pigtails in wonder. Bless them both... When school was wrapping up, the grandmother of the little girl came up to me as I helped Lily collect her many paintings and craft. 'My grand daughter told me that Lily was a special friend to her today and looked after her when she was upset. She ran up and told me every detail when I arrived. Thank you.' We don't know why she was so sad - does it matter? We just know that this little girl had a loving friend today, company and a hug when it was needed. Don't we all, sometimes? Fun rolling and painting with golf balls! We chatted about it afterwards, though I didn't want to overplay it as I felt such an act of kindness that comes from the heart can be its own reward. 'Lily, I saw you being kind to that sad little girl today. What made you do that? 'That's just how I did it', she replied coyly. 'Well, how did you feel when you were being so kind?' 'I felt happy.' 'If you were feeling sad and lonely, is that how you would like someone to be kind to you?' 'Yes.' 'You know, that's what Jesus says - we should treat people like we want to be treated. And that's what you did today, honey. Well done.' Please and Thank you are good and important, it's true. But the most beautiful thing of all is to see an act of unprompted kindness from the heart. Friendship, empathy, and compassion were overflowing today. From one sweet little three-year-old heart, to be poured upon another precious soul. Colour me biased, but I was so touched by my daughter's gesture of kindness. Through her many school years and all the rest to come, my prayer is that her eyes will always be open to the kid who is having a rough day, and her arms will always be willing to hug them... just as I pray someone will look out for her when she has those inevitable days. Oh, how I would love for her to find kindness on her rough days too. Lily-Pie, I was so proud of you today. Warmed to see your tender heart and compassion. Touched to see how you reached out with so much empathy. Honoured to be the mother of such a child, who has such a heart for others. May you carry this with you always and never be afraid to reach out to others. I love you so much!
