Our family, like many others in the United States, will be homeschooling this fall (and potentially beyond). While my little one is still in preschool and doesn’t require formal curriculum as a result, that is no reason not to provide fun and educational activities at home! 

In anticipation of needing to keep my little one occupied at home, I’ve put together a ton of [FREE] printables for readers to use! There are options appropriate for toddlers all the way up through early elementary school! 

I’m really excited to use these throughout the fall, and to share this content with readers!

What's New? 

I've created a ton of new worksheets, plus three different interactive activities perfect for binder books, felt board activities, and more. Most are either autumn or Halloween themed, though I've also created a few that aren't seasonal. And there is even more to come! I'm adding new resources to the library all the time (especially now that I'm homeschooling!).

DO I NEED TO SUBSCRIBE?

While the bulk of my new content is exclusively available to those who have subscribed for my free resource library, I've also made available 6 worksheets, ranging in difficulty from preschool level to early elementary school, for free and for immediate download. No subscription required!​ You can find those here.

Included are:

1. A Halloween themed addition and subtraction page.
2. A more or less activity.
3. A relational language activity.
4. A first book report template that makes for a super flexible reading comprehension activity.
5. A shape, counting, and color awareness activity.
6. A counting and color awareness activity. 

You can find printables available for immediate download on my activities page.

Making the Most Out of These Activities

Some of the activities new to the resource library are straight forward and include simple instructions. 

The interactive activities are flexible; use them however you think best! That said, here are the ways we use these resources in our home.

Binder Books

Binder books have been a favorite activity of mine dating back to working in special education classrooms throughout high school. They are excellent for preschoolers, and super easy to make if you have a few basic supplies:

A Binder

Plastic Page Protectors

Velcro

Scissors

A Laminator (and laminating sheets)

And, of course, content like that included in this content release!

Place the 'base' pages in plastic page protectors. Follow the directions below for each individual set. 

---

Base Page For Set 1

​For base page set 1, you will want to print two copies, and laminate one set. Then cut out individual cards for each item (i.e. one apple, two cat cards, and so forth). 

Base Page For Set  2

Apple Cards
 (Square)

​For base page set 2, print one copy of the trees, and print the square apple cards. Laminate the square apple cards, and cut out each square.

Base Page For Set 3

Apple Cards

For base page set 3, print out the baskets and place them in page protectors. You will also want to print and laminate either the How Many Apples page with the red applies, or with the blank apples (that your child can color in). This activity can also be done as a cut and paste with glue sticks and child safe scissors!

Once you have printed the base pages and laminated and cut the appropriate cards, apple velcro to the page protectors and to the back of each card. Place the base pages in a binder, and you are done!

Felt board activity

Felt boards are super easy to create by hot gluing a sheet of felt to a piece of cardboard (you can also use a cork board, or picture frame with the glass removed). Rather than placing base pages in page protectors, use them as stencils to create felt cut outs to place on the board. Finally apply felt to the back of each laminated card. 

Apple Basket Activity

I've also created a two sided version of the apple basket base page. Laminate both the double sided page and the apple cards of your choice (the square cards, the individual red apple cards, or the individual colorable apple cards are all options!). Cut each of the basket sides out and either staple into an envelop, glue each to a small  cardboard box, or create a felt pouch basket. You can do this by cutting a rectangular sheet of felt, folding it in half and hot gluing the two ends, and then hot gluing the bottom. Finally, hot glue the basket pieces to either side. 

Make one basket for each number. 

Then cut out the apple cards, and have your child place the correct number of apples in each basket!
