Description

It can be exhausting to come up with new learning ideas all the time, am I right? Activity cards are a way to get some fresh ideas into your home or classroom. These are in 4 categories: natural science, sensory, arts & crafts, and team building. The cards are large (7.5" x 4.5") and sturdy. One side shows a lovely photo or illustration, and the other includes the objective, resources needed, and step-by-step instructions. Cards are numbered and you can work through them in order or let a student randomly (or intentionally) choose a card. Some activities are ongoing while others can be completed in one day. Some activities include: create a year-round season journal, be a human sundial, gather a variety of leaves, develop a sound map, nature shapes bingo, make a hedgehog habitat, play tic-tac-toe with twigs and stones, etc. For ages 3+~Sara
