In case you haven't guessed it yet I am not a fan of worksheets but ...
these 2 sites are worth a look at.

Worksheet Works.com is a make your own worksheet so you are able to make the sheet exactly for your child.

Amazing Handwriting Worksheets - a free handwriting worksheet maker - It prints up well (the ones I have tried)

Button Sorting

I have a small jar full of buttons, most came from my Grandma who had the most amazing button collection.

I gave them to Bunny and asked her to sort them - however she wanted. She sorted them by colour. We then talked about all the different ways she could have sorted them.

Of course Monkey wanted to play with them as soon as she saw them.
(This is a Developmental Activity listed in Sonlight K week 2)

Decimal Street lapbook or poster

Here is a decimal street lapbook - would be great to add to a workbox and practise making numbers. Goes with the Math-U-See Math program.

I LOVE this and one day will have to make my own. I did make the house's and castle out of cardboard which we use at the moment but this is soooooo much nicer.

http://theischysfishys.blogspot.com/2008/12/decimal-street.html has used the same idea but made it slightly differently. Don't you just love the way one idea is adapted to suit each family.

Or you could make it as a poster (all so shown at the same blog) and use it as a poster centre.

Squirrel Stash




This file folder game comes from File Folder Fun (you do have to join to get access to this site but it is worth it - especially as it is free!!!)

Matching numbers to Number words (no's 1-12)

I stuck the squirrels randomly on the page and then put a velcro dot on the tail to stick the acorn to.


Apple Tree Math Mat

This Apple Tree Math mat is from homeschool share's Workboxables scroll down the page to Math Workboxables. I downloaded the black and white one (colour printer not working AGAIN) and the girls coloured it in. I did add a number 1 to the page as there was none there and the girls asked for it. The apples and numbers have Velcro holding them on.
