Target Gift Card Giveaway Winner Announced!

And the winner (chosen by rafflecopter) is…..

#202 Chesnye!

Casey and I are so excited to give you this gift Chesnye!!!!

When I emailed Chesnye this morning, I got to learn a little about this awesome mommy teacher….

 She is a stay-at-home mom with two little ones.  She says: “My son will be 3 in September and my daughter is 16 weeks.  I love to do crafts and science activities with my son and we do a lot of crafts based on the books we read!  I love that I get to be his full time teacher for the time being; we start preschool curriculum (at home) in 2 weeks!  I also love that he tries to teach his baby sister things he has learned!  Let’s me know that things are sticking!”

She sounds so deserving of this prize!

Thanks Casey for hosting this giveaway!  All you Mommy Teachers would appreciate the Kidspired Creations that Casey customizes and personalizes for sale….so go shopping!

I posted a status on my Facebook Page polling some Mommy Teachers to find out where they shop most or would like to shop more, and the majority ruled in favor of…..
Target!

Casey and I were both Early Childhood teachers so we remember the days of Teacher Appreciation week 🙂

Not many mommies get the apple they deserve for being the primary teacher of their own child SO Casey and I are awarding one lucky winner with a $50 Target Gift Card!

The giveaway ends this Friday, August 3rd at midnight and the winner will be announced Saturday.

Teach While Brushing Teeth

Is anyone else forgetful when it comes to encouraging your child to brush their teeth?  Or did I just shame myself?

Well, I found a way to help you and your child remember and even have some motivation for brushing teeth.

After you type in your child’s name, and print out the chart, stick this cool. personalized printable  on the door of your child’s room or bathroom and tape a ziploc bag with a crayon or two inside of it.

This chart is a great way for your child to learn (or be exposed to) organizational skills, graphing, calendar skills, and responsibility.

When helping Sean Patrick brush his teeth I always sing a transitional song, “brush your teeth, ch, ch, ch, ch, ch, ch, ch, ch, ch!” I’ll spare you the sound bite!

Found this in my files…yes, I take a picture of EVERY moment in my child’s life.

And, I encourage SP to “get all the germies out.”

Naturally, we talk about positional words like top, bottom, under, sides, inside, outside, etc.

So yeah!  Let me know how it goes…I want feedback people!  You love it?  You hate it?  You would never do this?  Try it for a week and once you get in the habit you will quit the coloring business?  What of it?

But yeah, the chart is pretty cool.  I would color it for my toddler but older children should be able to color it themselves after you model it a bit.
