Kindergarten Halloween Centers

I am so excited to start this new blog!  I have put some serious hours in!  Last year I drew some really cute halloween cuties but with 4 kids under 8 I never got around to posting them.  So I thought I would start this new blog with some Halloween fun!

I was so excited about these cuties I decided to make a few things with them.  I wanted to make these centers 5x7 cards so I could buy one of those super cute photo boxes that everybody is using, but I can't justify the price tag! So for now I think some cute titled envelopes will do.

My soon to be 5 year old and I have been getting ready for next year and kindergarten!  So these were made for her, so preschool/kindergarten.  First we started with these cute play-doh mats.




I was over the moon with my witch fingers I found at Target.  I was immediately 8 years old and pretending I was the witch in wizard of oz.  I love them!  K loved making the number 20 with play-doh and she likes counting to 20 with the witch fingers almost as much as I do.

Next and a little more advanced.  We worked on these number bonds.





Another cute Target find... pumpkin erasers!  Also love the $1.00 containers I found at Wal-Mart!

Then we moved on to "What color has more?"  These were fun to do together and I also like that this and the previous set comes with a worksheet, so if in the classroom setting students can do centers and you can then check their work.
 
We then moved on to "What color has more?"  This center also has a worksheet to check their work.  We counted the pumpkins that are orange and filled in the answer space and did the same with the green.  Then we matched the number on our card to the number on the worksheet and colored the pumpkin the color that had the most.




I like that this set only needed two crayons!

Next we did some spooky measuring. 




She loved the little ruler. We measured each finger and filled in the blanks.  Then we found which one was the biggest.

Last we found the missing pieces in "What's missing?"



This center has 12 different cards.  Thinking I may put Velcro on this one.
 
So I wanted to keep it all together and neatly, but like I said I couldn't get over the price tag of the photo boxes, plus it would not hold the erasers, fingers and extras.  So I had this stackable box from Wal-mart laying around, I think I paid 5.00 for it.  It holds all of it!  I made a cute little cover to tape to the top so you can see what's in there without opening.


I bought some A9 white envelopes and was able to print a cover on them with my printer.  They turned out really cute.



 

Well that's it!  I had so much fun making these!  If you want a copy head on over to my store!

Freebie Included in Preview!

 
I also included this cute little center in the preview you can download for free at my teachers pay teachers store. 
 
My kiddos LOOOVVVVEEE playing with beans!  They are cheap and fun to make.  We simply put them in a Ziploc bag and drop 10 drops of food coloring to get the desired color and shake, shake, shake!  I found this cute little "coffin" for a dollar at the dollar general.  We added some spider rings, gooey eyeballs and skeleton erasers to the beans and covered them up in our box.  Even the baby couldn't stay out of it.
 
 
 
 
K dug through the beans to find the hidden items and then used the graph page to find out what item has the most.  Once done she counted each column and wrote the number in the top box then we figured out which column has the most.  Cute, fun, and simple.
 
 


So, that is it!  I had a blast with this set and hope you guys love it too!  You can find it at my store by clicking on picture below!


 


Happy Halloween!

Love is in the Air! Valentine's Day Bulletin Board Ideas

  I am so excited to share this with you all.  I have fallen in love with creating bulletin boards.  The thing is all that super cute clipart out there that would make things so much easier for me, well it doesn't allow you to create bulletin boards due to copyright because you are not changing the image in any way. So don't do it!  In comes my small artistic ability and an apple pen!  I created three different Valentine's Day displays!  And the best thing is they are all interactive!  Yay!  So, the first one is my "Muffin" board.  This one is for a smaller board about half the size of the great big hallway boards.  It turned out super sweet and fun!  So how does this work interactively? Students will scan thee QR page. The QR code will take students to my first directed drawing with Shelia and Joe!  Here they will draw their very own muffin and then color.  Click the picture to see the video!   After they complete the directed drawing all you have to do is lamina
