I printed out this Spring Bingo game for one of the centers in my son's kindergarten class. Since it was an Easter party, we used jellybeans for markers; at home, we use pennies, buttons, or Legos.

15 Minutes : Make It : Easter Printables
A few free printables I found for Easter:
A simple card from the talented Olliegraphic (remember her beautiful Valentines?). I really like that her designs have cutting guides on them.
Tags or small notecards from babalisme. Don't you think these are boyish enough for my sons to give to teachers and grandparents?

1 Hour : Make It : Valentines to Color
image via upupcreativeSo here are the (free) printable Valentines my 1st-grader chose for her class. We printed them out (four to a page) on slightly textured cardstock; since she wanted mostly elephants and just one page of sneakers, I simply selected those pages in the print instructions. She absolutely loves to color and spent a good hour carefully coloring and writing out names on a couple dozen of these beauties.

Look at these sweet, folksy place cards! We could even use them as Happy Thanksgiving cards for the kids' teachers and friends. (And I'm always trying to find ways to encourage my daughter to practice writing.)

15 Minutes : Know It : Columbus Day
Scholastic.com provides the following helpful information about this lesser-known holiday. (In the state where I grew up, we always had school off.) In addition to telling your kids a bit about about Christopher Columbus, you can find short quizzes here and here.
Columbus Day is celebrated on the second Monday in October. (It was formerly observed on October 12.)
The holiday honoring Christopher Columbus' sighting of America on October 12, 1492, is observed in the states of the United States and also in parts of Canada, in Puerto Rico, and in some cities in Italy and Spain. Although Columbus was not the first explorer to set foot in the Western Hemisphere, his landing at San Salvador Island in what is now the Bahamas was very important. It opened the way for the settlement of America by Europeans. It is probable that the first celebration honoring the event was held in 1792. Columbus Day became a legal holiday in the United States in 1892, 400 years after the famous voyage. It was then called Discovery Day. Many cities and organizations sponsor parades and banquets honoring the holiday.
October 12 is celebrated in Latin American countries not only as Columbus or Discovery Day, but also as the Day of the Race (El Día de la Raza). It honors the many different peoples of Latin America. Schoolchildren in the larger cities parade. Fiestas, sometimes lasting several days, are held in the areas with large Indian populations.

1 Hour : Make It : Tweet Valentines
I just printed out these darling bird cards for my kindergartener to use for her class valentines. Besides the novelty of being "handmade", these cards will also give her practice cutting and writing. Her teacher can thank me later.
