The post 12 Easy Christmas activity sheets and printables for kids appeared first on Twitchetts.

These crafts and activities are a great introduction to primary colors for kids. Use these ideas to teach about red, yellow, and blue to your preschoolers or kindergarteners. They are great for the classroom or for at home.

Primary Colors for Kids

These crafts and activities promote the learning of primary colors for kids. As they are learning new colors, they will need to learn the difference between the primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) and the secondary colors (orange, green, and purple).

Using crafts helps promote the learning of different colors. As they continue to learn, you can start to teach about the color wheel and identifying complementary colors.

But for now, kids really just need to learn about the colors of the rainbow. These color activities are perfect for learning about the concept of colors. Next, you can teach about color mixing and basic color theory.

When you’re creating your primary colors lesson plan, include one of these easy crafts for kids.

Create one during a primary color class party.

Or, if you’re at home, create them at your kitchen table and have your child point out other items around your home that are red, blue, or yellow.

Use them to decorate your playroom or hang them on a bulletin board to show off what your kids have learned.

For added fun, grab one of our primary color worksheets!

2021 printable back to school sign

Can you believe that it’s almost time for the kids to go back to school?

We’re putting the finishing touches on our summer break and getting our lists together so we can go back to school shopping.

The thing that always sneaks up on me is that cute sign that so many kids hold up. You know the one. the “First Day of ______” signs.

Last year, little miss held up a handwritten sign. And that worked. But I wanted something cuter.

I also wanted the sign to show off her skills and style. So we created a printable sign that is also a coloring page.

Printable First Day of School Sign

Do you have a favorite place for your child to stand when holding their back-to-school sign?

Our place is by the big tree in front of our house.

This year, my kids will both be holding a first day of school sign.

All you have to do is print it, add their grade, and then let them color in the images.

Then try not to tear up while taking about 3,000 pictures of each of your kids. (This may be the hardest part of the whole printable!)

So how do you get this free printable? Just click the button below to tell us where to send it!

Looking for an even easier option for the first day back to school?

We have upped up the easy with a completely done-for-you pack! This pack has the grades already written out and includes Preschool and Pre-K through Senior year!

Purchase this printable pack!

Lego Chore Chart

It seems like we are constantly updating the way that we have J help around the house. As he gets older he is getting more responsibilities and we are trying to teach him good values with his money.

We have created a Lego chore chart to help us keep track of it all. Since it is interactive and Lego he is all about getting to his chores.

There are lots of reasons to make an interactive chore chart:

• They will be learning about adding money.
• They are learning responsibility
• You can set a savings goal
• It is fun!

So far it is keeping him motivated. He is doing his part around the house, which makes my life easier. He is learning money and how to save.

How to label the Lego Bricks

Each type of Lego has its own monetary value. As an example, here is how we labeled each type of brick. You can adjust based on your family’s needs and budget.

• 2×2 = $0.25
• 2×4 = $0.50
• 2×6 = $0.75
• 2×8 = $1.00

How to pay out your chore tracker

Keep in mind, while writing out your bricks, some of this money will go to savings… at least that is our setup.

I created enough bricks that my son could do them all in one week. However, that has yet to happen. These are the guidelines that we set up. Make what works for Your family! Then be consistent.

1. If we ask him to do something on a brick he must do it right away, or he will still need to do it, and won’t get a brick.
2. He doesn’t get paid until he has completed his whole jar of bricks. This would equal $13.
3. He has to deposit $5 into a savings account.

Cardboard Castle

Building this cardboard play castle reminded me of my mom.  Our ability to create with cardboard is completely hereditary.  

Do you think Susie would be able to create Minecraft swords without training from a cardboard master?  

Our mom created puppet show stages, giant trees, castles, and an old west town with refrigerator boxes and paint.  

When I popped open that bottle of pink tempera paint, I was flooded with memories of watching my mom create backdrops for our school plays.

For all those who don’t have paint fume flashbacks to help you out…here is a step-by-step guide for how I made the cardboard play castle for Little Miss’ princess birthday party.

Tips for making a cardboard castle

• Make the majority of your project before the event. Then assemble the pieces in their final resting place.
• Determine what you want to happen inside the castle. We added mirrors and jewelry so that the kids could play princess.
• You can make your castle any color you want! We chose pink because it is my little girl’s favorite color.

Yield: 1 Castle

Cardboard Play Castle Tutorial

Print

This castle was much easier to create than it looks.  It all started with three large boxes

Active Time 1 hour

Dry Time 3 hours

Total Time 4 hours

Difficulty Medium

Materials

• Large cardboard boxes
• Tempera Paint
• Shims or paint sticks
• Inexpensive Plastic Table Clothes
• String
• Packing Tape (or other strong tape)
• Glitter (optional)
• Hot Glue

Optional Items for playing in your castle

• Fake Flowers
• Costume Jewelry
• Small Mirrors
• Foam stickers 

Tools

• Box Cutter
• Paint Brushes
• Something sharp to poke holes into the cardboard

Instructions

1. Take apart all of your boxes along the seams
2. Play around with arranging the boxes until you find a shape that you like that will stand on its own.
3. Paint the outside of the boxes at least 2 coats of tempera paint. You may need a third coat if the print on the boxes is extra dark.
4. To keep the box flaps upright, use hot glue to attach shims (or paint stir sticks) across the folds.
5. Once the paint is dry, reassemble the boxes into your castle shape. If you are transporting your castle later, hold the pieces together using binder clips and or clothespins.
6. With a sharp box cutter, cut out a door, windows, and whatever else you want to make your cardboard castle.
7. I left the bottoms of the windows attached so that the kids could close the windows.
8. Begin to paint the details. I used purple paint to paint the window detail and bricks around the doorway.
9. Glue 2 pieces of the inexpensive table cloth to the inside of the doorway.
10. Move your castle to its final destination to assemble it. Poke holes in the corners and attach the boxes together using string.
11. Line the floor with another unfolded box. Then cover it with an inexpensive table cloth. Make sure to tape the doorway down really well.
12. We added some glitter to parts of the castle. This is optional.
13. "Plant" some flowers around the doorway.
14. Decorate the inside with things that you already have. I used some foam stickers that I had from Hobby Lobby.
15. Hang some mirrors and add some dress-up items to encourage interactive play.
