I will admit my daughter's favorite movies (she's 4-1/2 yrs old) are the Harry Potter series, Lord of the Rings series, and Avatar. She will watch most of the Disney princess movies that she has, but if you give her a choice she goes for her favorites. I do have a basket of Veggies Tales, Leap Frog videos that she has right next to the tv. the others are in a cabinet with a door. So I'm trying to get her to watch more kid-friendly character building, message movies when we do put something on. This week, each day she has to pick a Leap Frog learning video out before she can watch something "fun" . We are adding to the "fun" video library this week with these two new Veggie Tales Easter DVD's. I will let you know how this goes after the week is out!

Easter nomenclature cards, Easter 3-part cards
Here are the 3-part (nomenclature cards) I put together for Easter next month for Naters. I print two series of pages; I cut one series, hole punch them in upper left corner and put them in a binder ring( this is her reference set or master set to follow). Naters gets an empty booklet, a glue stick, and one series of pages cut up and then she puts it together on her own.

Naters is 4-1/2 yrs old. Here she is working on her March 3-part cards booklet. I print two series of pages; I cut one series, hole punch them in upper left corner and put them in a binder ring( this is her reference set or master set to follow). Naters gets an empty booklet, a glue stick, and one series of pages cut up and then she puts it together on her own.

March 3-part cards
Naters loves to make her 3-part card booklets, so I'm constantly in search of ideas to go along with our themes. I used the same images from our march calendar pieces and march stamping sheets.

Match Stamping letter sheets
These are the March stamping letter sheets that i made for Naters to go along with the March calendar pieces I made. Stuck with the same images as in the calendar pieces because we are talking about those each day. I'm a card maker, stamper, scrapbooker so she likes to stamp and i think its great for her fine motor skills. I posted a blank one for those of you possibly wanting to fill in with d'nealian or cursive.
