It’s In The Mail! – Craft Gossip

Now here’s an idea I know your kids will love, join them in a Craft of the Month Club! Kids love getting mail, and you will love that they are getting preselected, usually themed, items to create and enjoy.Prices and products vary depending on the club you choose.I suggest comparing the different clubs out there.

www.childcrafter.com provides unique, educational and fun craft kits where both boys and girls use their creativity to create masterpieces. Their kits are made by well-known manufacturers such as Curiosity Kits, Quincrafts, Creative Hands, Alex, and Dimensions.

www.kraftykid.com offers a variety of different clubs, which are based on your child’s age and crafting experience. There is also a Bible Craft subscription and a Surprise subscription offered on this site.

These are just a few craft sites out there that offer a kids craft of the month service. I will feature some of these sites in future blogs and review their goods and services…I’ll do your homework for ya! Check back often for more great information.

I know the last thing most kids want to do during the summer is anything that feels like school, but the truth is doing little things to reinforce the learning they did the previous year will make the next year easier for them.

Also true: you can make this learning fun by turning it into game time.

These printable math puzzles from Living Life and Learning are great to use in the car when you’re on a road trip, or just any time you need a little activity to pass the time. They involve adding numbers up to 10 and include cute summer-themed graphics as well as the numbers.

Help the bee get back to the hive with math in these math maze puzzles from Artsy Fartsy Mama. There are versions for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division for kids of different levels to enjoy.

Of course math games are even more fun if you take them outside. Hopscotch is a classic outdoor game that can be easily made about math. Just one idea is this skip counting hopscotch idea from Math Geek Mama. Have the kids fill in the numbers and them count them off as they jump. She also has a fun jumping math maze that looks like a lot of fun.

Look We’re Learning has some more fun ideas for math games you can play outside including a beanbag toss, counting treasure hunt and sidewalk chalk math.

Some days it’s too hot to go outside so you might need some indoor math games to play. Math Geek Mama also has a great collection of Lego math games and activities for kids of all ages. Primary Playground has games you can play with Uno cards to learn about numbers, sort colors and more.

Older kids will enjoy the math games using dominoes from Upper Elementary Snapshots.

Take your math learning on the go with these math themed cootie catchers from 123 Homeschool 4 Me. There are lots of options here including ones just with numbers, with math problems or that ask you to double numbers. Inside numbers are presented as hash marks, fingers or dots to add an extra layer of fun.
