Summer reading-Ten Apples up On Top! by Dr. Seuss


We have been reading tons of books lately. Today my daughter chose Ten Apples Up On Top, by Dr. Seuss. After reading, I decided we could make a learning activity.

Materials needed:

Craft paper
Laminate sheet (I chose to laminate everything). You don't have to
-Magnetic tape
-Crayons
-Craft paper
-Scissors



Draw a  few apples, and color them. Now you can draw your lion, tiger, and dog. I used yellow craft paper and figured I wouldn't color them. After doing this, add your paper with apples and the one with each character to your laminate sheet.

 Once you have laminated both sheets of paper, cut everything out. When you're all done with cutting each of them out, using some magnetic tape, cut them into small squares.

Apply magnetic tape to each apple and character. We used my daughter's Art easel, which has a magnetic chalkboard. (My husband made it.)



Now that you're done, have some fun counting the apples!
My daughter loved this activity. (I did as well.)


Happy Counting!

Transform your glass garlic jars into multi-functional pin cushions with storage by following this creative and practical DIY tutorial. You will learn how to repurpose these jars into stylish and useful organization tools for sewing or crafting supplies. Hello everyone!

Delicious Fall Recipe: Roasting Pumpkin Seeds

🎃 Delicious Fall Recipe: Roasting Pumpkin Seeds If you're anything like me, your favorite season is Autumn, and I get excited when making fall snacks and new recipes. My family loves it when I roast pumpkin seeds for a quick and easy snack. Roasting pumpkin seeds is one of those simple pleasures that turns seasonal scraps into a crunchy, crave-worthy snack. Here's my step-by-step method—with measurements—to help you make the perfect batch. Step 1: Scoop Out the Seeds Begin by carefully using a sharp kitchen knife to slice off the top portion of your pumpkin, making your cut around the stem to create a wide enough opening for easy access to the interior.  Once the top is removed, reach inside the pumpkin to extract the seeds. You can do this with your bare hands, but I prefer wearing a latex glove to keep things clean and comfortable—though this step is entirely optional.  Alternatively, you can use tools like an ice cream scooper, a sturdy fork, or a specialized pumpkin seed...
