Fall Subway Art Printable!

Remember the Halloween Subway Art Printable that I posted a few weeks ago? Well, I had so much fun making it, that I thought it would be fun to do an Autumn/Fall Subway Art Printable too!

And here it is in all it's glory! Again, with this one you can print it on an 8.5x11 paper and then either put it in an 8.5x11 document frame or trim it down to fit in an 8x10 frame. Just for reference, it's pictured belown in an 8x10 frame.

You can click either picture above to download the PDF or download it from Google Docs.

Train Matching Game - Free Printable!

Andyroo loves his Toy Story Matching Game that he got for Christmas, but he's moved out of the Toy Story phase and is currently obsessed with all things Trains - especially Thomas & Friends. I thought it would be fun for him to have a new matching game, so I found some free clip art and put together my own version using images that I created for Andyroo's Thomas the Train Wall Hangings.

And, as an added bonus, I thought I would offer to all of our wonderful readers! I know my son can't be the only little boy out there obsessed with trains! C'mon, please tell me there are other mothers out there who know way too much about Thomas and the island of Sodor. Does anyone else find it really weird that the trains are the ones in charge? That the drivers and other people that work on the trains have no control over those "silly" trains? It's not just me, right?

Anyway, click here to download the PDF version. Print it on some card stock, cut them out, and let your little ones have fun. There are about 30 cards or 15 total matches. You could also make this into a file folder game. I think I'll be doing that for a new church quiet game. The printable is free, however we would love it if in return, you would become a follower of Life in the Motherhood! It's also for personal use only, please. You're welcome to share it with others, but please link them back to this post. Thanks!

Enjoy!

(The images I used were either created by me (the Thomas & Friends images) or were found through free clip art sources.)

Halloween Subway Art + Free Printable

As part of my Halloween decor, I created this cute little subway art printable!

Want one too? Click here to download your copy! Remember that this is only for personal use, please. If you'd like to share it with others, please be sure to link back to this post.

Also, this is a PDF download. I made the image small enough so that you could frame it as an 8.5x11 or also trim it down to put in an 8x10 frame (which is what mine is in). If you go for the 8x10 size, you'll probably need to trim it down by about 1/4" on each side, but that will vary based on the frame you're using.

Enjoy!

Preschool Planner Printable

We're kind of in a tough spot right now. I really think Andyroo would benefit from preschool, but we don't have the money for it and I don't want to commit to a program (that someone else is doing) and then have to back out in a few (*fingers crossed*) months when Hubs gets a job. I don't want to leave someone high and dry with the loss of income or something that like that.

So, instead of sending him out for preschool, I've been looking for options and ideas for doing preschool for him here at home. I've found TONS and TONS of resources (which I'll do another post on later) and I'm trying to kind of narrow down what I want to do. There's so much information out there that it's a little overwhelming. My head starts spinning just thinking about all the possibilities. I can handle the head-spinning if I have a place to organize myself - something where I can write down everything and reference it later.

And that's where my new printable comes into play.

It's nothing fancy and colorful (I'd end up printing in B&W anyway), but it gets the job done. And I'm really happy with this method. I have plenty of space to write and different catories to utilize. And no "dates" to make me feel locked in. Afterall, what if I really don't want to talk about birds one day? What if I want to skip ahead or just skip it all together. It must be something about calendars, but i always wind up feeling like a failure if I didn't accomplish something that was written on the calendar. So no dates - though if you prefer, you could write it into either of the top two spaces, or anywhere else on the page.

Before I created this, I was using a calendar to map out exactly what we were going to do when. It was just a printed monthly calendar. Writing so tiny I can barely read it is not my idea of easy. And it was so cluttered that I just stopped using it. It didn't have any really pertinent information so I still had to go lookup things elsewhere. I was able to write 2 or 3 words about the activity or idea and then either a book or website abbreviation. I need more than that! Needless to say, that method only lasted a couple of weeks before I stopped using it.

Want to use this for your own preschool ideas? Of course you do! Just click here to download the PDF file from google docs. If you do use it, let me know what you think - any improvements or changes that need to be made?

Next week, I'll be showing you the filing system I actually use for all of our preschool stuff. Be sure to come back and check it out!
