On my rare (very rare) visit to Target this fall, I saw they had child-sized pointers in the dollar area. I promptly picked one up for M and set it aside.
It was almost forgotten, until I awoke about 4:30 Christmas morning. I did a google search of hundreds charts and alphabet charts and came up with some suitable charts. (I wish I had a different font for the ABC's, but at that early hour in the morning I was not going to search out anything too special. They are customizable fonts, too.) I printed them out on some colorful paper and laminated them. Before returning to bed, I placed them in her stocking.
I knew I'd wanted to do this for M for a really long time. I thought I would get to the local-ish teacher store for a couple of charts, but am so glad I did not. These 8 1/2x11 sized charts are perfect for play. We are not homeschoolers, so we just use them for (purposeful) play.

What a great mommy you are! And what a fabulous present. She's so cute!
That's awesome! What a great idea. I LOVED playing school (and library) when I was little so I think that's perfect. Looks like she thinks so as well.
Hi Annette- I'm not sure if you know or follow my other blog, but it's about learning with little ones. I know you have a little one just like me. Anyway, I've got lots of posts coming up this month and a giveaway soon. www.milknhoneylearnandgrow.blogspot.com. Playing school is fun!
You win Mom of the Year for getting up at 4:30 to print stuff to add to a Christmas stocking!!!
You rock!!
