Last fall, we went garage sale-ing and I ended up with some great finds from a former classroom teacher. She had a box chock full of unit study and activity books, one of which was the Seasonal Activities book from Evan-Moor. (See I don’t even have to try! I’m a magnet for EM stuff!)

At the beginning of each season, I print off a bunch of worksheets from the Seasonal Activities book. In the evening, I leave a few out on the school table for my early morning risers. If they aren’t playing a game or reading a book, I will find them at the table doing one of the activities. They love doing stuff like this, but I don’t have time for them to do it during the designated school hours – so this works out great.

There’s something for all ages. Dot-to-dot’s for Little Miss, word search and crossword puzzles for the older ones and some color, cut and paste for anyone who’s game and a few fun writing assignments.

I also bring the worksheets along when we go out to dinner to keep little hands busy.

The book has other stuff too like calendars to print off for each season. You can peruse the book for yourself before you buy, by ‘flipping through’ the pages at  E-M’s web site

I found my copy for $.50! But if I wasn’t that lucky, then I would buy the e book from E-M.  For obvious reason this saves tons of time when you don’t have to stand there at the copy machine.

*The book I have is for grades 1-5. I'm thinking they don't make this  exact one anymore because I don't see it on the web site. It looks like they broke the book  down into grade levels - same cover though, and activities.
