Colour swatch ombre wrapping

 Colour swatches are AMAZING in so many ways! Beautiful to the eye, useful for so many activities and did i mention FREE!!

We picked these ones up at our local Bunnings and used our butterfly hole punch to make a stack of tiny coloured butterflies. Tara sorted the colours as best she could from lightest to darkest and glued them to a brown paper package for her cousin.

The latest OMBRE trend can even become a part of learning! Tara also discovered the remains of the colour swatches made great butterfly stencils to keep for a rainy day!



Size sequencing fishing

Did you know pipe cleaners are magnetic? We made this fishing game of all different sized fish that were made by twisting pipe cleaners into a fish shape. Using a magnet rod from a puzzle we had, Tara caught a fish...
Then arranged the fish she caught in order of smallest to biggest

Erica has an amazing website and we look forward to starting her letter of the week curriculum next year. I downloaded these cards and laminated them and Tara matched the wooden shapes to the cards. The wooden shapes are found at
