Have I ever told you to go the
The Old Schoolhouse and get on their email newsletter lists? Well, go do it! Free homeschool goodies and oodles of ideas await you!
File Folder games is one such letter they sent out.
In a nutshell...you take a file folder, you put stuff inside it, keeps everything compact and you have a game or activity that your child can do.
I got the preschool set from the
teacher's book bag. Our son LOVES the games (most of them). The one I got seems to focus on alphabet stuff...he thinks the honey pot game is just too much fun. :) But he likes the others as well. I don't use file folders as that would have cost more dollars...and I have oodles of card stock because I scrap book! So tape, cardstock, worksheets and voila! I can make a file folder type game/activity for him.
