Two winners have been chosen in the Pop Its giveaway. Congratulations to them both!! This was my very first giveaway and for those of you who entered and did not win I will be doing more in the future so keep a lookout for them.
I'm running a membership special!! If you purchase a 12 month membership you will get another 12 months for free and if you purchase a 6 month special you will get another 6 months for free. If you already have a current membership the special will extend your membership.
You will get access to all of the material that has been placed in the member's section for the past seventeen years plus all of the new material that will be added for the next year. The special ends midnight Sunday October 17th 2021. Here are just few of the activities from the member's section:
The free membership printable this week is Pop Its Letters and Number. The cards are meant to be used with Pop Its fidget toys and are great for letter and number recognition as well as fine motor development. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and cut them out. I then laminated them for durability.
I used a sharpie permanent marker to write letters and numbers on the Pop Its fidget toys. I also have Pop Its that already have the letters and numbers written on them that I purchased from amazon.
In this activity children pick a letter or number card and "pop" the same letter or number on the Pop Its. I am giving away one set of the letter and number Pop Its so be sure to watch the video on how you can enter to win them. 
You can grab the patterns below the video of this activity for free until Sunday October 17th ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added Pop Its Sight Word Cards.

Fidget toys such as spinners and cubes have been around for a few years and have proven to be very popular. They were originally designed to provide tactile and sensory experiences to help children calm and focus. Many adults use them as well.
Pop Its are another kind of fidget toy that has become very popular. They are made out of 100% flexible silicone and are non toxic . The Pop Its consist of bubbles that children press down which makes a popping sound.

Pop Its are excellent for fine motor activities. We do both simple popping which is just pressing the bubbles with one finger. We then more on to more complex popping using two fingers and alternating the fingers when popping. We also hold the Pop Its and press the bubbles down with our thumbs on the front and then pressing the bubbles back up with the fingers that are behind.
One of our favorite activities besides popping is to have the children squeeze a dropper in a small container of water and fill the pressed in bubbles to the top. They then remove the water from the bubbles with the dropper and put the water back in the water container.
We also place small pom poms and marbles in the pressed in bubbles using jumbo tweezers and clothespins and then remove the items using fingers.

The free membership printable this week is School Letter Sliders for letter recognition and review. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and cut them out. I then laminated them for durability.
There are six different sets of letter strips included with the patterns. You have a choice of upper and lower case in order ... upper and lowercase out of order ... mixed upper and lower and non-mixed upper and lower.
In this activity children pull the letter strips through the school cards and identify the letters shown. You will need to slice (I recommend an xacto knife) along the lines on the front of the school cards in order for the letter strips to be inserted.
You can grab the patterns below the video of this activity for free until Sunday October 3rd ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added School Roll and Cover.
