Growing Hands-On Kids

This week's 8 free activity downloads!

Hello Reader,

It's time for the last email of free activity downloads and ideas that I've been sharing along with other educators and therapists. I hope these free activity ideas and downloads have been helpful for you for the last two months.

Check out some fun activities like Would you rather questions for students, editable name desk plates, dentist letter matching, if you give a mouse a cookie activity, cookie dough play dough recipe, self-regulation activities, A to Z brain break activities, and more.

It's hard to believe my kids return to school in about 3 weeks. It feels like summer just started! Both of my children are transitioning to attending school this year from homeschooling and we are in the thick of getting all the supplies and uniforms figured out.

I'll share more back-to-school tips, tools, and ideas in the coming days.

Have a good week!

~ Heather

[New Post!] Ladybug Button Fine Motor Activity

Hello Reader, Wow, I feel like it has been ages since I've typed out an email to you all, let alone written a new blog post. But there has been a good reason for that.
