Craft Pack & Clipart GIVEAWAY!

Hi Everyone!

Guess what? I've teamed up with my new blog friend, Ellen Russell, from Create in the Chaos to bring you this fun little giveaway!! You could win a paper craft pack, clipart and a $10 Amazon gift certificate!

Ellen blogs about life and adventures with her two little guys .... which brings back happy memories for me (I have two very grown-up boys:)).

Just recently Ellen put together this cool printable craft pack. I tried it out with my class of six and seven year olds and it was a BIG hit.

I combined two of the paper crafts (the castle and the rocket) with our geometry unit. The kids loved both those projects and I loved that it was an opportunity to build upon their 2D and 3D knowledge.

I also let them choose a variety of different crafts to use on their own during centre time. They picked the dragon, the bookmarks, the spy wristbands and the robot dice. Actually, they wanted a lot more, but it's the end of the year and I'm madly trying to finish up a couple of units, so I had to limit them.

A couple of the activities were a bit hard (the gluing parts) for a couple of kids, but others had no problems. So they combined forces and completed ALL activities without my help.

Do I recommend this printable craft pack?

Oh yes!

Grade 1 teachers I think you'll really love it! It's perfect as a supplement to other lessons (as I did with Geometry) or during centre time when the kids can happily colour, cut and paste all on their own and be VERY successful.

If you'd like a chance to win Ellen's Craft Pack AND two clipart sets of your choice AND a $10 Amazon gift certificate, then just sign up for both our newsletters and YOU could be the lucky winner!

When you sign up for Ellen's newsletter you'll also receive a robot finger puppet craft.

And when you sign up for mine you'll receive a set of colourful digital labels and a link to my exclusive freebies (I have about 10 right now, but they're steadily growing).
