Easy Reader Shape Hunt Cards (M):

This includes 6 “easy reader” shape hunt cards. A child can “read” these to a friend by counting the number of shapes on the card and describing the color. “Can you find one red circle?” Pro Tip: Make sure you have objects that fit the description around your room! Or you can cut these shapes from construction paper and hide them around your space. 

Number Writing Cards (M):

So many ways to use these! You can print and laminate and offer with a sand tray for writing practice. Additionally you can offer a dry erase marker and a small “magic erase” for children to write directly on laminated cards. You can offer a wooden stylus for tracing or you can print off on normal paper and have children write themselves. 

Bead Bar Addition Cards (M):

These can be used with the printable beads/real beads or children can just count up on the cards themselves. They can write the answer in with a dry erase marker, you can print them off on normal computer paper and have them write the answer in with pencil or you can display them just as cards and have them record their work on other recording paper.

Multiplication Shopping Lists (M):

These can be used with the printable decanomial box or actual bead bars. The number/color in the circle is the bead bar you should use. So if the circle has a green 2 in it, you know you will be using the green 2 bead bar. How many pictures of that corresponding object is how many of those bead bars you’ll need. So if there are three pictures of a plant and the number inside the circle is a 2. You’ll need “2 green bead bars.” Check out my IGTV episode if you need more clarity!

Decanomial Box (M):

Great substitution if you don’t have the real thing! I would recommend printing on 110lb cardstock and laminating. These can be used with the shopping lists, addition bead bar cards and Leah’s multiplication word problems. 

Animal Length Cards (M):

Print on 110lb cardstock and laminate. You can cut the info off the card, glue on the back and present that way OR you can keep as “cards”. Punch a hole where the black dot is and thread yarn/twine/ribbon through the hole that is the matching length listed of that animal. There is one animal for every continent! Children can work together to stretch out the length of ribbon and see how big that animal is in real life!

Note: Please use these materials in your classrooms and homes but send your friends our way to purchase their own. We work hard to create beautiful handmade materials which help support our families.
