Egg Movable Alphabet Cards

-

We got our first real snowfall of the winter today (Jan 7), so naturally, I've started to dream of spring.  I also updated my chicken life cycle post today, and decided to make some more chicken-themed printables for learning.  I may end up turning this into a series of printable, so check back on this blog to see what happens.

As I was writing about the chicken 3-part cards today, I said that the life cycle labels could be spelled out with a Montessori-style movable alphabet.  Since making creative, printable, themed alphabets is one of my favorite things to create, I decided to make some chicken egg letters.




These simple white eggs with capital letters can be printed on plain white paper (or cardstock) and cut them out to work on letter identification or spell out words.  The eggs could work for a chicken or bird theme unit or even a cooking study.  Need some letters for an Etsy shop or Instagram flatlay?  These letter cards would work for that, too!  The PDF contains 2 different egg sizes, so you have lots of options.







If you're wanting to use the letters for Easter or springtime, you can let the kids color and decorate each letter card like an Easter egg or even print them on colored paper. These eggs would also be great for a dinosaur unit study or as party decor, too.  If you print on the white side of printed scrapbook paper, you could create a fun matching game that fits in an Altoid tin (see more ideas here).  Laminate them for durability.  How will you use the eggs?  Comment and tell me!

When I rebranded this blog from "In Our Pond" to "Homeschooling My Kinetic Kids" this year, I wanted to add more content for high-energy kids.  Some moms and I were talking this morning about dealing with stir-crazy kids in these winter months.  After I brainstormed a bunch of ideas for the FB group, I decided the list would make a great blog post!  I try not to do things the easy way in my blog, so I made a list of 100 activities. 1- breath holding contest to practice for summer swimming 2- cartwheels 3- make a balance board with a board and a can 4- stretch with exercise bands 5- wheelbarrow races down the hallway 6- put on a circus or play 7- paint a picture with your feet 8- handstand contest 9- pretend to be an animal 10- make a ring toss game with paper plates 11- 52 card pick-up 12- push an ice cube with your nose across the kitchen floor 13- play concentration ( instructions ) 14- wresting 15- speed cleaning contest 16- relay races 17- skipping 18- kitchen f

Homeschooling with Laura Ingall's Wilder and the Little House series

The kids and I started reading "Little House in the Big Woods" last week for the first time.  They're really enjoying hearing about life in the "old days" and all the ways that things were done differently 150 years ago.  It's been a very special time, too, because we all pile on the parents' bed for reading time and have some quiet time as part of our day.  It's been a great way to reconnect with them. Many of these ideas came from my own reading of the series; however, where possible, I've added links to give you more information about them.  Many of them can be done without extra supplies and don't involve other people, so their perfect for living "self isolated" like a pioneer. 1- Preserve Meat In my search, I found a blog and podcast called "Pioneering Today."  She has a post about salting, fermenting, and other ways to preserve meat.  The very first chapter of "The Little House in the Big Woods"
