My daughter started kindergarten this year. I decided to make her some flashcards to help her review her curriculum. I looked up her school's website and made flashcards from as much of the information as I could. I used things like words she needs to read, words she needs to spell, 4 seasons, 5 senses, parts of a computer, etc.
I have lots of these empty Altoid tins from the ginger I used to eat to help ease morning sickness. I created the flashcards in word and cut them to fit in the tins.
A quick spray of white paint and now she has individual tins for each area she needs to work on. I can't decide if I should decorate the outside or leave them blank so I can reuse them as her curriculum changes.
*** Update ***
Thanks to Cyn from Cynspiration.blogspot.com who suggested I use vinyl to decorate the front the tins now look like this . . . .

What a great idea! I too have a Kindergartner who needs to learn those same things. Although, I am debating if I *really* want him to learn our phone number. He already wants to give it to a girl in his class. ;)
ReplyDeleteHave you thought about decorating the outside with vinyl? That would change out easily with the curriculum.

What a great idea. Perfect for my 3 year old who has been begging my to teach her to read. I would love for you to stop by and link up to More the Merrier Monday. It is open through Wednesday so you have plenty of time to link up. http://diyhshp.blogspot.com
