“Where’s my Mummy?” Cooking, Crafts, and Comprehension

“Where’s my Mummy?” Cooking, Crafts, and Comprehension

Latest on Instagram

🍎 ALPHABET if you want the complete letter-learnin 🍎 ALPHABET if you want the complete letter-learning bundle!

Teaching the alphabet shouldn’t mean 26 weeks of “trace the letter and color the picture.” 😅

Kids need to SEE it. SAY it. HEAR it. FIND it. BUILD it. READ it. WRITE it.

That’s why I created one complete system for learning letters + sounds through LOTS of different ways to practice. 🌈

📚 Interactive alphabet books
✏️ Interactive worksheets
🍎 Letter crafts
🎵 Anchor charts + songs
👑 Alphabet hats
💗 Bracelets
🖍️ Play dough mats
🧩 Hands-on practice + puzzles

Same letters. Same sounds. Different ways to interact with them — again and again until they STICK. 🙌

And everything is already together, so you’re not searching for another alphabet activity every week.

SAVE this for alphabet instruction + send it to a teacher who is getting ready for the year! 💗

Want the complete bundle? Comment ALPHABET and I’ll send you the link! 🍎
💗 NAME if you want these editable name books! The 💗 NAME if you want these editable name books!

Their name is usually the most meaningful word a child knows. So why not start there? 🥹

These little books turn THEIR name into hands-on beginning literacy practice — letter recognition, letter sounds, fine motor work, early writing + so much more.

🌈 Rainbow write it
✂️ Tear + glue it
⭐ Make it with stickers
🤟 Sign it
🔤 Find + say the letters
🖍️ Trace + write it
…and 10 different ways to practice!

And my favorite part for teachers: type your class list ONCE and the books auto-populate for up to 30 students. 🙌

Meaningful for them. EASY for you.

Save this for your beginning-of-the-year name activities 💗

✏️ NAME 🌈 to get started with these EDITABLE NAME ✏️ NAME 🌈 to get started with these EDITABLE NAME BOOKS! ❤️

It’s something they already know. Something that belongs to THEM. And they get so excited when they start recognizing those letters and realizing…hey, I can write my name!!

So we use that excitement to sneak in a whole lot of beginning alphabet + phonics work.

And we don’t just trace it 47 times. 😂

We rainbow write it, hunt for the letters, touch + say them, practice the sounds, sign it, type it, make it with stickers, tear + glue it, Q-tip paint it AND trace + write it.

Basically…we learn that name every way we possibly can. 😂❤️

And you just type in your class list and the books are made for you. Your whole class. In seconds. 🙌

Such a fun way to start those first few weeks of school.

I TRULY love creating a beautiful classroom. I lov I TRULY love creating a beautiful classroom. I love making a space that feels warm, welcoming, and exciting for kids. And trust me - I’ll go overboard on it too. 

But I’ve also learned that there has to be a limit.

If we’re pouring every ounce of our time, money, and emotional energy into our classrooms, eventually there’s nothing left for ourselves…or for the children sitting in front of us.

A beautiful classroom is wonderful.

But a teacher who has rested, eaten lunch, protected her weekend, enjoyed her summer, and still has the emotional energy to love her students…

That’s even better.

Enjoy the fading bits of summer 🩷 AND 🩷 Have a wonderful school year!
