My New eBook: How To Succeed As An Educational Printables Business

How To Succeed As An Educational Printables Business eBook

It is with great anticipation and extreme excitement that I can finally announce that my new eBook How To Succeed As An Educational Printables Business is ready for purchase for anyone that is interested, thinking about, or currently starting up their online educational printables business. I created this eBook with the intention of helping other educational printable creators start their businesses because when I started mine there was not a product like this eBook out there anywhere for me to use and reference.  Over time I inquired almost everywhere I was participating, from forums, to Facebook communities, to my communities, the only response I seemed to get was “Wow, what a great idea.  When you find it let me know too.’  So, with the same enthusiasm I share with creating my printables, I set about the task of writing this eBook for the past 6 months from my personal experiences with starting my Enchanted Homeschooling Brand. In this book I discuss everything you may … [Continue reading]

Update to Printable Monthly Writing Prompt Sets

Printable Monthly Writing Prompt Sets Image

Since it is spring time and spring is the time to give everything a good cleaning, I am have revised and given a nice clean face-lift to my Printable Monthly Writing Prompts Sets.  Each set contains enough writing prompts and space to complete one writing prompt each school day for that month based on what our normal number of schools days are in that month.  Each prompt set has a theme related to the month, but not all of the prompts themselves are necessarily themed to the month. In my opinion, these writing prompts are perfect for grades 1st and 2nd, but maybe even K or 3rd, depending on the level of your student.  Please also note that I do not have writing prompts for the months of the months of June, July, or August because those are months that we only had a few days of school or are on our summer break. My Monthly Writing Prompts, like most of my over 190+ printable creations, are available only through my E.H.M. Member’s Only Website for a one time lifetime … [Continue reading]

What Time Is It, Mr. Wolf?

Mr. Wolf Telling Time Activity

My sidekick has recently developed a big interest in telling time, which we figure is mostly for the purpose of arguing about bedtime! He also loves to play “What Time Is It, Mr. Wolf?” In the standard version of the game, “Mr. Wolf” faces a wall away from the other players, who are standing well back. The other players shout “What time is it, Mr. Wolf?” Mr. Wolf yells out “3 o’clock!” or another number, and the other players take that many steps towards him. When they get close, the wolf’s answer becomes “Dinnertime!!!” and the wolf chases the others and captures someone, who then becomes the next Mr. Wolf. We played this, but with a twist. Instead of yelling out a time, I sticky-tacked a paper clock onto the wall. When the other players yelled out “What time is it, Mr. Wolf?” I didn’t yell out a time, but instead changed the time on the clock and the players had to figure it out so they knew how many steps to count. The next time we … [Continue reading]

Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse Storybook Fun

Alexander and the Wind Up Mouse

*Affiliate links were used in this post. This month it was extremely challenging for Beck, Elizabeth, and I to select just one storybook since we all love Leo Lionni’s storybooks. After some discussions we decided to do one of our favorite Leo Lionni storybooks: “Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse”. Before we started reading the story I wanted to make sure that the kids had a friend to bring to the story time. I had a Winnie the Pooh moment over an afternoon cup of coffee trying to figure out how to have the kids create a life like Alexander. Then it hit me like Tigger bouncing into a room and knocking over Winnie the Pooh! Alexander was shaped rather like a plastic Easter egg. We have tons of plastic Easter eggs in our art supply closet upstairs! So I grabbed some brown Play Doh, a brown pipe cleaner, google eyes, some pink fuzz from a pom pom, construction paper, and a plastic Easter egg. Then Beck and Elizabeth got busy creating … Here is our final version of … [Continue reading]

Using Yarn Lines for Gross Motor

Using Yarn for Gross Motor Skills

One of the fundamentals of gross motor is balance. I often hear, "We can't practice walking on a balance beam because we don't have one." Well, guess what? I don't have one either, but I make do with what I have. It is very easy to make chalk lines outside or use a curb. Most often we are inside and don't get the chance to go out during the colder months or bad weather. I make up for that by using what I have at home. Originally, I was going to do this post with masking tape . But when I checked, it was almost gone! So I pulled out some yarn instead. What you need: masking tape (or yarn) and items to step over (pom poms). Start with simply walking across the yarn string. Work on stepping one foot right in front of the other foot. The idea is to see how slow they can go. Then work on stepping on the yarn line with the feet taking longer steps. After they have repeated the task above give them a challenge. Put something on the line they have to step over. It … [Continue reading]
