Monday Made It - Felt Links and Rocks/Soil Foldables

It's summer and that means I finally have some time to make things.

My latest projects are mostly centered around a road

trip we are taking in July.

We'll be in the car for two days each way.

With a 4 year old and a 1 year old,

I know I'm going to need lots of things for us to do.

 

I figured this was a great place to share my first activity.

FELT LINKS:

 

These are just like paper links, except they are made of felt.

I started by cutting the felt into strips.

 

Then I cut the Velcro into small pieces.

I attached one part and then attached the other Velcro

part on the other side, opposite end.

 

Even though the Velcro was sticky,

I still sewed each piece on in case.

The sewing was easy, a diagonal across

each piece of Velcro.

 

 

They don't take up much space and are safe

for even the 1 year old to play with in the car.

 

Can you think of a way to use these in your classroom?

 

ROCKS, SOIL, MINERALS, CHANGING EARTH FOLDABLES

 

I have done a little bit of school work this week.

This was actually a product that I updated.

As I've learned more about creating products,

I'm starting to go back and change a few

of my older items. 

I use this product with my third graders for our rocks and soil unit.

Last year we took all the foldables and made a lapbook.

One of my teammates had the students add them to a science journal.

Either way, it was a nice way for the kids to organize

all the new info they were learning.

 

 If you like these, head on over to my TpT store.

 

Hope everyone is having a nice Monday.

Have you created anything new?
