I am running a special on my membership printables!! The special is for a twelve month membership for the price of six months and contains all of the membership printables from the past thirteen years plus the new material that is added weekly for the next year. The special ends midnight Friday December 22nd.
Here are just few of the activities from the member's section:

We made paper plate gingerbread and they really turned out super cute. Not only did the children enjoy making this project but they also got lots of fine motor practice.
You will need to have:
paper plates (we glued two together) white yarn black yarn or pipe cleaner brown paint paint brush scissors black and pink craft foam or construction paper white sequins (optional) 
The first step is to paint the paper plate brown and let it dry. While the paper plate is drying we cut out two circles from the black craft foam and two from the pink. You can also use construction or cardstock paper if you do not have craft foam.
We glue the black circles on for the gingerbread eyes and formed a smile shape with a black pipe cleaner and also glued that on (you can substitue black yarn if you do not have pipe cleaners). We then glue a pink circle on each side of the mouth to from the gingerbread cheeks.
The next step was to apply glue around the edge of the paper plate and press the yarn on to make the gingerbread icing.
We went around the the paper plate twice with the white yarn. To add an optional sparkle we then pressed white iridescent sequins on the glue as well adding more glue dots if we need them.

The free membership printable this week is Gingerbread Alphabet Clip for letter recognition and fine motor skills. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and and cut them out.
I set the gingerbread cards out along with some clothespins. You can also use large plastic coated paper clips or the included cover-up squares.
In this activity the children pick a letter cards and clip a clothespin on the same letter that is on the gingerbread. Play continues until all cards have been clipped.
You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday December 24th ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added a gingerbread number clip. gingerbread alphabet clip

The free membership printable this week is Ornament Number Puzzles for letter recognition and review. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and and cut them out.
I then cut along the line on each ornament to make two halves and laminated all of the pieces. I mixed up the pieces and set them out for the children.
In this activity the children find the two halves with the same number and put them together to form the ornament. Play continues until all numbers have been matched.
You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday December 17th ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added a reindeer color match. ornament number puzzles

I made a reindeer and Santa tic-tac-toe game and the children loved it so I wanted to share it with you!! Just print the pattern on cardstock paper ... cut out and laminate.
The free membership printable this week is Reindeer Roll and Cover for math and fine motor skills. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and laminated them.
I set the mats out along with dice and buttons (pom poms and playdough work well too). I have also made cover-up circles that you can print and laminate.
In this activity the children roll the dice and cover up the same number of blank circles on the reindeer mat. Play continues until all circles have been covered. Children can then roll the dice and remove the cover-ups.
You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday December 10th ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added a reindeer color match. reindeer roll and cover
