Beach or Camping Coloring, Cutting and Pasting Free Printable Activity

Whether you are planning a beach vacation, a camping trip or just daydreaming of a getaway (like me) here is a fun free printable activity to do with your kids !

What do you take to a day at the beach? What do you take to a camping trip? and what do you take to both? In this free printable activity your little ones can color, cut, and paste the items to bring and either sort them in a single page chart or in three separate “Suitcases”. If you have a large piece of paper you can also draw a large Venn Diagram to introduce them to the concept ! Another way to do it, if you can, is by using some old magazine photo of a beach and a camp site as visual aid and glue the items on the photos. This is a great activity not only to practice fine motor skills, but also to discuss good habits like staying hydrated, using sunscreen and hats, bug spray and being prepared for a trip. A great way to expand vocabulary as well as reasoning skills.

You can click HERE for the pdf or right click on the images to print the jpgs. All you need is a black and white printer, colors, scissors and glue!

Free Printable Color Cut and Paste activity: sorting objects, food and animals by color.

Summer break is here and with that it is up to us parents to find ways to entertain our little ones while they are at home. I’m sure we all have plenty of memorable activities planned, but sometimes you just need to keep little hands busy for a while so you can get some adulting done and Print-cut-Paste-craft is here for you! I will be posting a series of fun and, why not, educational activities to keep your little ones hands and minds busy and active, and as usual all you need is a printer, scissors, glue and your imagination (and sometimes some crayons or colors). Let’s get this summer started!

Here is the first summer activity and it is a color sorting activity: print the two templates and have your kids color the objects and then sort them in different groups according to their color, the result should be a beautiful rainbow of things! This is a great activity to practice those fine motor skills your preschooler needs to be ready for kindergarten, but personally I have also used it to practice naming the colors and some basic foreign language vocabulary with my kids! I have tried to include animals, foods and objects of every color so, for an extra activity you can also have your kids sort them out into different categories. The possibilities are endless! I hope you enjoy this color sorting coloring/cutting/pasting activity and look forward to more simple summer activities to follow soon!

3D Free Printable Paper Christmas Tree Color Cut and Paste Kids and Family Activity.

3D Free Printable Paper Christmas Tree Color Cut and Paste Kids and Family Activity.

Hello Print Cut Paste Craft! Christmas is almost here and, this year more than ever, I know we all need some new fun activities to do at home and help us get into the Holidays spirit. Never fear, Print-Cut-Paste-Craft is here with our best Christmas Craft to date!

Ladies and gentleman, may I introduce……… THE 3D PAPER CHRISTMAS TREE!!!! All you need, as usual, is a printer, some colors, some scissors and some glue to create this beautiful tree to put on your desk as you work, or go to school remotely, and get into the Christmas Spirit!

I made this activity with my two boys and my husband yesterday: each one of use decorated their side of the tree in a slightly different style and with different colors and ornaments. Not only we had loads of fun together, but now I love  having this little tree right on my desk reminding me of the holidays and of why I do what I do!

I think this would make a great little project for home schooling and remote learning as well as for the adult that just wants to cheer up their desk and spend a few relaxing hours doing a free craft!

 

 

 Here are the instructions on how to assemble the 3D Christmas Tree:

  1. Once you have printed the template, color and cut out the 4 sides of the tree .
  2. Color, Cut and Paste the Ornaments on the tree. Be careful not to put too many ornaments along the middle of the tree or it will be harder to fold.
  3. Fold the four trees in half along the dotted line.
  4. Glue one half of each tree to one half of another (see image) so that you create a cross with each tree bent at a 90 degree angle.
  5. Color the tree skirt, then cut along the dotted lines in the middle by folding the skirt in half and cutting perpendicularly. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
  6. Cut the tab at the bottom of the trees in half along the line, then insert the tabs in the cross cut in the middle of the tree skirt and bend them at a 90 degree angle in a cross pattern.
  7. Tape the tabs to the bottom of the skirt.

The Free 3D Printable tree comes with two levels of difficulty:

Click here to get the template for the blank tree and the separate ornaments: this will allow you to completely personalize the ornaments on your tree but it will require some complex cutting since the ornaments can get quite small.

Click here if instead you want a template in which the tree is already decorated and all you need to do is color and assemble the tree.

Have fun!

 

Free Printable Rhyming Card Game: Practice Basic Rhymes While Having Fun!

Free Printable Rhyming Card Game: Practice Basic Rhymes While Having Fun!

Hello! I created this card game to help the kids practice some basic rhymes while having fun. Here is how it works:

  • Print the pdf file and cut out the cards
  • Shuffle and Distribute all the cards to the players. It is ok if one person has an extra card
  • First, the players look at their cards and if they have a set of three matching rhyme cards they put them down showing them to the other players
  • Next, the players take turn taking a random card from their opponent. Anytime they make a match they put it down and then go again.
  • Beware: nothing rhymes with Orange! So you really don’t want to get stuck with that orange card!
  • There are two ways to end this game (depending on the age and personality of the players)
    • the player left with the orange card at the end of the game loses
    • OR when all the matches are found, the player with the most matches wins!
