☀️ Laundry Line Letters ☀️

Make learning to spell a playful, hands-on experience with my hand-painted Laundry Line Letters printable! Hang lettered shirts on the line to spell out laundry-themed words. Little learners can use the laundry word baskets for reference. A laundry-themed spelling list is provided, but you are welcome to create your own spelling list. Blank word baskets are also included for you to write your own words.

For more of a fine motor challenge, hang words on a line of string using actual clothes pegs or mini clothes pegs from the craft store!

This printable is ideal for at-home learning or classroom activities, and would add a charming touch to any spring, summer, or Earth Day themed unit.

You can find my Laundry Line Letters in my Etsy shop and in the Spring Mega Bundle, which is on sale until March 14. To find out more about the Spring Mega Bundle, follow the link below.

🌿 Tick Nature Study 🌿🐜

Let’s talk ticks: those kinda scary / kinda dangerous (but also fascinating) little blood suckers. Despite their ick factor, ticks are a part of everyday life for many of us, especially those of us who like to spend time outside. With the current rise and spread of tick-borne illnesses, such as Lyme and Alpha-gal, it’s super important to educate our kids (and ourselves) about these pesky parasites and how to safely share their habitat.

My brand new tick nature study (which took me a year to finish, oh my gosh!) is packed full of thoroughly researched and scientifically supported information about tick biology and tick safety. Each lesson is accompanied by supporting materials and activities, such as labeling and mini posters, 3-part cards, fact cards, colouring, storytelling activities, a word search, and research opportunities, as well as links to supporting educational videos. It even includes a review game! And as always, all of the resources and activities feature my original, hand-painted, watercolour illustrations.

Lesson topics include: tick anatomy, ecology (habitat and diet), life cycle, behaviour, types of ticks, tick-borne illnesses, tick safety, tick checks, and how to safely remove ticks.

This study is best suited for learners aged 6 to 12+. And don’t worry, no scary stuff here. The information is provided in a fun, gentle way with a young (possibly anxious) audience in mind. Ticks don’t have to be scary!

My tick nature study is currently available as part of the Summer MEGA Bundle sale that is on until June 9, along with a ton of other amazing resources! You can check it out at the link below.

☀️ The Summer Mega Bundle is now available! ☀️

Hello everyone! It’s been ages since I contributed to a Mega Bundle (because life), but I’ve finally managed to put together a new nature study, which I’m very excited to share with you all over the next few days. But first, I recommend taking a break from the hot sun and the bitey bugs to check out what the new Summer Mega Bundle has to offer.

The Summer Mega Bundle includes lifetime access to 2,900 pages of curated digital/printable educational content created by 35 amazing educators. This bundle (which is valued at $700) is available for only $25 USD from now until June 9! Seriously! Bundles are actually really good deals.

Inside, you’ll find resources about art and music, astronomy, geography and history, language and math, nature study, ocean study (over 500 pages of ocean study material!), paleontology, parenting, and STEAM, perfect for learners aged 5 to 12+.

There is even a bundle upgrade. Add the Countries of the World & Maps Skills Pack and a comprehensive Summer Study Guide for just $14 more.

Have you ever found something fuzzy growing in the back of your refrigerator? Or maybe smelled a funky smell when you opened an old container of food? Food doesn’t stay fresh forever. After a while, good food goes bad. Yuck!

My introduction to the science of food spoilage and food preservation includes four weeks of GROSS science lessons supported by lots of fun hand-painted hands-on activities, real-life observations, and scientific experimentation.

If your littles love gross things as much as mine do, they will love this resource!

My Science of Food Spoilage and Preservation resource is currently part of the Homesteading Bundle, which is available until May 17 for only $25 USD.
