These are all links for things that I have done or would do with my kids. As an experienced teacher and practiced parent, I want to be a resource for YOU and save YOU time so that you can spend that time interacting with your child and being the awesome parent that you are!

Reindeer Learning Activities

What do reindeer eat? Where do they live? What does a real reindeer look like?

As parents, we know that children are naturally curious about the symbols they see around them. Often times reindeer are referenced in literature and songs during the winter holiday seasons. They have become a symbol of winter and Christmas. As educators, we know that we can use a child’s natural curiosity to help make everyday moments, learning opportunities. This my friends is also called – PARENTING!!!

If you snuggle up and read a book about reindeer with your child – GREAT!

Add a reindeer craft – GO you! A+ for the day

101+ Reindeer Crafts and Activities. The ultimate reindeer guide for busy parents this holiday season with kids.

Remember parenting takes time, preparation, and patience. You are your child’s #1 teacher. We have a choice on how we want to spend our time with our children. I choose to learn, make, play, and cook with my kids when the opportunity arises.

Extend these crafting and reading activities even further and add some learning games and activities that you can extend and enrich your child’s learning. Make a week (or month) of one particular topic and you have what we as teachers call a UNIT STUDY.

A unit study combines multiple different learning activities, games, songs, stories, crafts, and more all about a particular subject. You and your child will then dig deeper into that topic, and develop a greater knowledge and more complex vocabulary about that subject.

This month, my kids and I are going to focus on REINDEER (aka Caribou). I have gathered resources for you to use with your kids. Pick and choose a few that you think your family would enjoy. Create your own!
