Hibernation E-book Opportunity

By -



Announcements, Announcements, Announcements!!


Okay, just one announcement, but I am very, very excited about it!  We've been talking about hibernation, and doing different hibernation activities, for several months now.  It's been a subject that keeps drawing us back to it because it is so engaging.  SO, I decided to create an e-book with dozens of hibernation activities!  Most of the activities include printables, but many are also experiential and fine arts projects.  The activities also meet Common Core and Texas State Kindergarten standards!

Each activity has an introduction page that includes instructions for the activity and biology about different animals.  For example,

Do you know...

What animal's heart freezes when it hibernates?
What animal's entire body turns to ice during hibernation?
What air-breathing animals hibernate under water?


Before I release the hibernation e-book, I would love to have some of you look over the pages, try out some of the activities, and give me some feedback.  Do the instructions make sense?  Are there any typos?  Are there other errors I missed because I've been looking at it for so long?   The activities are targeted for a 5-year old (kindergarten) audience, but can easily be adapted for 4-6 year old children. 

If you would like to help me review the hibernation e-book, please fill out the form below.  You will receive a portion of the book (for free!) to review and I will include your name or blog on an acknowledgements page at the end of the e-book.  If you have trouble with the form, please send me an email so I can fix it!!

Also, I am looking for 5-10 bloggers to host a stop on my blog tour at the end of January/beginning of February.  As a host, you would post an interview, guest post, or other related post to help spread the word about this hibernation e-book, and promote that post on your regular social media sites.  I will have freebies and giveaways available for your readers during and at the end of the tour.  Host bloggers will also receive a free copy of the completed e-book and inclusion on the acknowledgements page at the end of the hibernation e-book.  

I'm so excited, I can hardly wait!  I'd love to have you join the adventure this month/next month!!  Just fill out the form and let me know what you'd like to do.  If you have any trouble with the form, send me an email (preschoolpackets at gmail dot com) so I can fix it!

Thanks so much!!

Update:  Dear friends,  Thank you so much for your fast response--I had nearly all the positions I needed filled within two days!  I am closing the form at this time.  If you are interested in hosting a stop for the blog tour, please email me--I have filled the spots I was hoping for, but I can still add a few more blogs.  Thank you again!!!



I may share at any of these parties!

Science Experiment: Elephant Toothpaste

Update: "Elephant toothpaste" is a science experiment that I used to do with my high school students.  It is a strong multi-sensory demonstration that goes great with a lot of chemistry concepts. It is also very popular with preschoolers and homeschoolers!  The internet loves it too! It has now been read by more than 3.9 million people! This was the post that started the trend on science activity sites across the internet and "irl!"  Thank you for being here...I hope you enjoy it as well!  💕  This exciting science experiment works great in a discussion on reactions, as a demonstration, or as an actual experiment. We've also done seasonal twists with "elephant toothpaste" like making it in a pumpkin and using it for " reindeer toothpaste !" To use it as a science project, perform it once with your child, then ask your child what might happen if you changed the amounts or left out an ingredient.  Any time you experiment

This sensory lesson includes a kindness activity for kids that is short and sweet,  and makes teaching kindness a beautiful thing! Learning to use kind words with our friends is one friendship lesson that I think we can never cover enough...kids always need reminding (sometimes adults do too)!  You will need these simple supplies for the kindness activity: cotton balls, course sandpaper, cup, Should I Share My Ice-Cream by Mo Willems Directly teaching good friendship skills, like using kind words, serves two purposes: 1- You can refer to the lesson when someone forgets or needs reminding, and 2- These skills are not intuitive for all preschoolers. This is a perfect age to bring empathy and kindness to their attention and help them cultivate these skills! You can use this lesson plan exactly as I did it with our kiddos, or adapt it to fit your group! 1- Read  Should I Share My Ice-Cream  by Mo Willems.   {Image below is an Amazon Affiliate Link:} D

Crazy Cool Giraffe Science Experiment

Do you know what color giraffe skin is? Today we're using a capillary action science experiment to make our own giraffe skins in this fun giraffe science experiment project! (Read on...I'll tell you the color in a moment! AND I have a few more fun giraffe facts at the end! Anyway, go on and make a guess before you see the answer!) Fun Spot  Giraffe  Fact:  There are four different giraffe species:  the Masai Giraffe, the Rothschild Giraffe, the Somali Giraffe, and the Nigerian Giraffe.  Each has its own unique spot pattern.  Even more unique, every single individual giraffe has a different spot design.  Just like fingerprints on people and stripes on a zebra, spots on a giraffe are unique in every individual! Giraffe skin is mostly grey. (Were you right?) It's also really tough and thick.  The coat is a shade of tan with brown spots or patches.  Male giraffes actually get darker as they get older! To make our "giraffe skin" we're going to us
