This post was created in partnership with Rogers. It’s often hard to find a show that your kids love AND won’t make you want to pull your hair out. So I asked parents what are the best kid shows that are best suited to toddlers and preschoolers and they came back some amazing suggestions. I’ve also tried to find the best place to watch them – this will definitely vary by area but hopefully, it will give you an idea of where to start. Here are the best kid shows according to parents: Sesame

1-2-3 Come Do A "Jack and the Beanstalk" Fairy Tale Craft With Me Do you read the fairy tale genre to your children? It’s one of my students’ favorite themes. Among their favorites is Jack and the Beanstalk. To help them sequence & retell the story, I designed this super-fun beanstalk craft. So that you can quickly & easily make an example to share, I’ve included full-color patterns, as well as the black & white ones for students. Children color & cut out the castle & title cloud, then glue them together. An 8-link paper chain is suspended from the bottom of the cloud. Three leaves, with story element captions (Setting, Characters & Events) add to the beanstalk’s appearance. Since there are a variety of versions for Jack & the Beanstalk, I’ve included a number of “picture tile” options. Students choose the ones that were in the story that they read, then color & cut out these mini "pages". They sort the picture pages into the 3 different story element categories: setting, characters & events, then sequence each group of pages, in the order that they appeared in the fairy tale. These “itty bitty” storytelling booklets, are then glued to the appropriate leaf. Before displaying, have students partner up, taking turns explaining what the setting is and who the characters are, then retelling the tale using the picture prompts. For writing practice, and to further check comprehension, I’ve also included a “Here’s What Happened…” worksheet, which can be done as a whole group with little ones. Completed projects look terrific suspended from the ceiling as a border along a hallway wall. I've included a "Climbing new heights in reading" poster to add extra pizzazz to your display, which is sure to garner lots of compliments from passers by! Today's featured FREEBIE is a back to school apple puzzle. This is an inexpensive little gift you can make for your kiddos for that first day of school, which will occupy their time for a bit, freeing you up. I've also included a large apple puzzle, to be used as an independent center activity, as well as a blank grid, to help younger students easily put their puzzles together. The patterns come in color, as well as black and white, so kiddos can color, then cut out their own puzzle, then put it together; which gives you even more "sanity saving" time. Well that's it for today. Thanks for popping in. It's a lovely summer day here in Michigan. So love the sunshine streaming in my office window, along with a frangrant and gentle breeze. Feeling very contented and blessed. Wishing you a carefree day.

Every year, we study dinosaurs and my kinders LOVE learning how to be a paleontologist. This resource is free in my TpT store. This week we studied dinosaurs. We read many nonfiction books, but one of our favorite stories was the fictional story, Dinosaurs Love Underpants. I did not have any clipart of underpants, so I tried my hand at clipart. It is free on TpT. Just click the picture below. If you are interested in the unit, Dinosaurs Love Underpants, it is available in my TpT store. This week we our curriculum map math standards involved measuring. We measured everything!! My kinders mostly enjoyed walking throughout the room measuring with either cubes, toothpicks, pencils, or paper. They had a choice what to measure with. Then they recorded their answers on the recording sheet. It is free below. Just click here or on the picture. I decided that I needed more hands-on literacy stations. I wanted to use my sand table, so I added seashells with sight words. The kids love it! Karen Jones has an EXCELLENT math resource on Teachers Pay Teachers. It is called The Ultimate Math Bundle. The kiddos in the picture above are using the printable from The Ultimate Math Bundle. However, instead of the snakes, the kiddos are using Smarties and a paper plate. The paper plate is cute in half. Students put the number of candies on each half then push the paper plate together to see "how many in all". Endless Possibilities, Stephanie

Kids’ painting projects don’t always have to revolve around the ever-popular brush. Put it away. Just for now – you can bring it out later for another artsy activity. Now that your child is officially brush-less (or if her entire set of artist quality ones are currently so covered with school glue and glitter that you don’t even want to deal with them) she’ll need something new to paint with. Gauze. You probably have some in your first aid kit. Or, if you’re a bit less organized (as I am) it’s shoved in the back of the linen closet underneath the pile of free toothbrushes from the dentist and fancy soaps that you might set out someday. If you take the gauze out and look at it up close, you’ll notice the teeny tiny delicate pattern that the weave makes. When you add paint, you get a pretty print. A gauze print paint creates a grid-like texture. Your child can create an abstract piece of art, mix colors or make her own design! Here’s What You’ll Need: · Gauze · Card stock or construction paper · Tempera paint · A paint palette – If you don’t have one, there’s no need to go out and buy one. Turn over a plastic container lid and sue that as a palette. Here’s What to Do: 1. Cut the gauze into strips. 2. Pour golf ball-sized pools of tempera paint onto your palette. 3. Ball the gauze up. Your child can crinkle it around her fingers. 4. Dip the gaze into the paint. To make a clear print, your child only needs a small amount of paint. Help her skim the paint’s surface. If she goops it on, don’t worry. The first few prints will look somewhat smeary, but as the paint comes off onto the paper the prints will show more of a pattern. 5. Try mixing the colors. Add a lesson on the primary colors to the activity. Have your child dip one piece of gauze into the yellow, and then another into the red. Print the yellow first, and then add red on top to blend into orange. Repeat with yellow and blue to make green and red and blue to make purple. Are you looking for more art activities?

Need a fabulous resource for retelling Fairy Tales? I have two words for you - Story Spoons. Not sure you can make them yourself? Believe me, if I can do it, so can you! And it's fairly inexpensive, too. Win, win! Now, I am not calling this a tutorial; it is more like a cheer-on post. Seriously, if you are at all thinking of creating Story Spoons, Go For It – YOU CAN DO IT! Buy spoons, paint, paintbrush, and varnish/sealer. I looked at Dollar General for wooden spoons, but they had NONE, Zip, Zero, Nada. Who would have thunk it? So, I traveled on to Walmart. Bingo! Found a perfect set of 3 spoons and this rectangular spoon thingy. (I'm sure it has a culinary name.) Perfect set of spoons for making my The Three Billy Goats Gruff – 3 goats, 1 troll. And the price? $0.88. Can't beat that! ~ $0.22 per spoon/rectangular thingy. Sweet! I also bought paintbrushes, paint: 3 shades of brown for the three sizes of goats and a pukey green for the troll, and varnish/sealer. I went ahead a purchased the brand name. Unbelievable, I know, especially with how cheap frugal I am. I already had the other supplies needed: scissors, construction/colored paper, and Sharpies. So, here we go: grab a spoon and paint. Cover the handle, let dry on a piece of parchment paper and grab another spoon. Once the handles are dry to the touch (around 1 hour), paint the spoon part of the spoons. Let dry on parchment paper. The initial fear of putting paint onto the spoons is over, you are free to have fun. Decorate the faces. I am in NO way an artist, so I kept things simple. I penciled in guidelines, too. I told you, I do not have an artistic bone in my body! Have fun, be creative. If you mess up, grab the paint and start fresh again. No biggie. I used both paint and sharpies on my faces. Once all paint is totally dry, cover spoons with the Mod Podge. Do not freak out like I did when the sealer goes on as a white paste – it dries clear. Whew! Okay, I am really hoping this doesn't happen to you, but when I came back to check on my drying sealer, I noticed the troll's teeth and the big Billy Goat's beard paint had run. Yikes! Don't panic. Okay, well, panic a little then just let sealer dry totally and repaint the spoon around the facial features. Only you will be able to tell something went amiss. In fact, the troll looks better with uneven, blotchy skin. For the horns and ears, just cut out those shapes from colored construction paper or color white paper and glue onto the spoons. Ta Dah! You now have lovely Story Spoons for The Three Billy Goats Gruff. It didn't take long, it was inexpensive, and YOU did it! Yay for you! Hey, if you need printables to accompany your Fairy Tale unit, check out my Three Billy Goats Gruff Activities Packet HERE. Or if you need other Fairy Tale Units, check those out HERE. As always . . . HAPPY TEACHING! Okay, I want to add a P.S. on this post. P.S. Yes, creating the Story Spoons is easy, BUT I am a very lazy busy person. So, . . . Need a fabulous retelling activity? I added a Story Spoon Character Cutout page to each of my Fairy Tale Activity Units. Print out the page - cardstock laminated lasts longer - cut out the characters and affix them using glue, tape, velcro to spoons or craft sticks. These spoons make a GREAT center! Below I am posting the individual pictures from our fairy tale spoons/sticks. We used: ***wooden spoons for the main characters and wavy craft sticks for the co-stars. ***the rectangular spoon for the evil characters ***used front and back for the good/evil characters (evil queen/peddler woman) Let me know if you have any questions. Enjoy! Whew!
