Monday Monster Printable Madness #2 – Animal ABC Penmanship

This post may contain affiliate links which help support my family. Thank you for stopping by.

spring has sprung
I’ve really enjoyed putting together and building my online store over the last while, and I’m thrilled to introduce the new 105-page ABC penmanship printable booklet! This comprehensive penmanship pack is designed to help children develop their handwriting skills through engaging activities tailored for each letter of the alphabet.
ANIMAL ABCs Monsters Ed Penmanship MEGA Activity Pack
The booklet features a variety of exercises that make learning to write both fun and effective. Each letter comes with:
– Letter Poster: A vibrant visual aid that showcases the letter in both capital and lowercase forms, providing a reference for young learners.
– Letter Writing Page: Dedicated pages for practicing writing each letter, allowing children to trace and write both the capital and lowercase versions, reinforcing their understanding of letter formation.
– Capital Do a Dot Page: An interactive dot-to-dot activity for capital letters, encouraging children to connect the dots to form the letter, which enhances motor skills and letter recognition.
– Lowercase Do a Dot Page: Similar to the capital version, this activity focuses on lowercase letters, making the learning process enjoyable and hands-on.

This penmanship booklet is perfect for parents and educators looking to support children’s writing development at home or in the classroom. With 105 pages of structured practice, children can improve their handwriting while gaining confidence in their writing abilities. The activities are suitable for children aged 3-6, making it an excellent resource for preschool and kindergarten readiness.

Incorporating these fun and educational activities into daily routines can significantly benefit children’s penmanship skills. Whether it’s during quiet time at home or as part of a classroom curriculum, this printable booklet is an invaluable tool for fostering a love of writing and helping young learners master the art of penmanship.

Thank you for popping by and don’t miss next week’s introduction of our Animal Numbers penmanship printable!

Christmas is fast approaching! I can hardly believe that we are already at the end of 2022. What a roller coaster ride the last few years have been. To celebrate the festive season, I’ve created these FREE early education mini packs. These will remain free on Monsters Ed forever!

Each mini pack includes the following festive activities:

10-Page Scissor Skills Packet for Preschool from Mama’s Learning Corner
Preschool Resources
Each of my girls had a love for scissors at very young ages. Instead of avoiding scissors because of the safety aspect, I’ve always tried to find child-safe scissors and age-appropriate activities for them.

They’ve experienced lots of craftiness in their short lives.

I created this 10-page packet of scissor skills printables so they could cut and then and cut some more.

Freebie Friday ~ Botany Resources

This post may contain affiliate links which help support my family. Thank you for stopping by.

Botany Resources

I’m a firm believer in child directed learning, to a point. The kidlets have shown interest in many different subjects and we have explored them as much as possible. One of the subjects they showed interest in was botany. Koko has grown hydroponic vegetables to earn a Cub Scout badge and the girls have grown flowers. We learned all about how seeds germinate and how fruit develops on a plant.

Here are some great free resources to assist your child in understanding

How Does it Grow?: Potato from Education.com
Botany Resources
Your child has probably tried a potato, but does he know the process it goes through to make it to the dinner table? Find out with this life science worksheet. He’ll exercise his fine motor muscles as he cuts out the pictures, then he’ll use his brains to put each picture in the right order.

Plant freebies and Schoolhouse Rocks from Swimming into Second
Botany Resources
We have started our unit on plants and I am so excited. I love teaching plants! There are so many things that you can do to teach plants and the kids love everything. Today, I introduced the topic by doing a graphic organizer with the class. Then, the kiddos completed one on their own. I forgot to take a picture of my anchor chart but it looks like the kids’ version.

Learning About Seeds: Free Printable Seed Journal & Activities from Spell Outloud

One of our favorite spring-time activities is to plant seeds! I’ve teamed up with Lauren from Mama’s Learning Corner to create free seed printables for toddlers through elementary ages!

Paw Patrol To The Rescue! from Life as a Moore
Freebie Friday - Paw Patrol
I absolutely love that there are so many options and so much for free online. Samuel was totally into the super fun video that I found about the letter A. He especially loved it when I started dancing and singing along, ha. If you have a preschooler interested in watching it, click here. He wasn’t as much into the generic worksheet, which got me thinking…He’s slightly obsessed with Paw Patrol at the moment and what’s more fun than learning with your favorite characters?! So I made him a few worksheets catered to that. I think I’m probably going to make several more as we continue through each letter/number. One of the major perks of teaching at home is that you can cater to your child however you wish. At this age, I want it to be as fun as possible!
