Flashcards

I've been doing preschool in the mornings with my daughter. But have been running out of things and ideas to do for her. I've really been wanting to have some fun flashcards for her to look at but couldn't find any that I liked. So the other day I did a google search and found this amazing website called Mr. Printables. They have a bunch of free printables for Kids, Mom's and Dad's.

Here are the flashcards that I made.

Here's how I made mine: I printed off each set of cards onto cardstock. Then I used my laminator (best Christmas present ever!) and laminated all the cards. Then I cut them out, punched a hole in the corner and attached a metal ring to them.

But the flashcards looked kind of dull to me so I spruced it up with some ribbon.

For the ladybug counting I decided to use red and white ribbons.

For the alphabet I just used a bunch of random ribbons. I really like how they turned out. Don't you? Plus my daughter LOVES looking at them and saying what's on the cards. These would also be great to keep in your purse for when you need a little distraction for the kids.

If you'd like to make your own head on over to Mr. Printables.

Old MacDonald Hand Puppets

When I saw these hand puppets over at Larissa's blog I knew I just had to make them. I finally finished them last night and Love how they turned out.

One of the things I really liked about these puppets was all the details on the back of the puppets. Genius! Plus I think it adds to the cuteness factor.

I had a hard time picking my favorites but I'm really like this cow.

The Cat has to be my favorite by far.

Do you want to make some too? Then head on over to Larissa's blog she has the pattern and instructions for you. You really should stop by sometime. She has amazing tutorials and projects.

Make sure to stop by tomorrow and see the play kitchen reveal!
