Finally Finished- Postcard Writing Prompts

I have been working so hard at night trying to get our postcard writing prompts done.  Tyler has been excited to start them.  They have been fun to make but very time consuming.  I am becoming quite the pro at Microsoft Word however.  :)  I wanted to give him some research to do about different places and at the same time give him a variety of writing experiences.  I made 36 postcards all together.  I picked random countries and I tried to pick some from continent.

 

On the back of each is the prompt for that country.  I let him do his writing assignments on the computer or Alphasmart because of his fine motor abilities.

I did purchase a small (little smaller than I wanted) mailbox to put his prompt in each day.

I can then put his little mailbox with prompt inside into his workbox with the flag up of course.  Actually he reminded me of the flag.  Great attention to detail that boy!

I wanted to share the three sets of postcards I made in case anyone else would like to use them.  There are 36  overall so you could pick and choose if you wanted.  I printed each page with the front side first and then flipped the paper and printed the backs.  I printed all mine on cardstock.

Hope you enjoy them!  Please comment and let me know if there are any other countries you would like for me to make.

More postcard writing prompts

I just made 12 more postcard writing prompts and I thought I would share quick before I go to bed.

Goodnight!!!

Postcard Writing Prompts

Tyler has been wanting some new writing prompts in his workboxes.  I will be honest after doing fall pumpkin writing prompts and Christmas ornament writing prompts I felt we should do something not so seasonal.  I tossed around a couple of ideas but then I settled on prompts that focus on different countries.  I thought it would be fun to make them look like postcards and then put one each day in a small mailbox in his workbox.
Oriental Trading Company has some small metal mailboxes for only a few dollars and you can even decorate them.  I like this mailbox so it is the one I am ordering for us to use.  Here is a picture.

I have published the postcard prompts I have made so far on Scribd.  There are 12 countries so far but I will be making more in the next few days also.

These print best if you print them on cardstock and print the fronts first and then flip the paper and print the backs.  I hope you enjoy them and please feel free to comment and let me know any ideas you might have for other countries.

The Mystery Gourd Game

Here is a fun game for fall that I made up to include in Tyler's workboxes for tomorrow.  It is to help him work on writing descriptive sentences.  I bought a bag of gourds today at the store and thought about how different each one looks and thought this would be a good opportunity to work on using more adjectives.  Here are the instructions if you want to check it out.

Fall Writing Prompt Poster Center

Okay, the fall bug has bit me bad!  I have sooo many ideas in my head.  I wanted to make a fun writing center for Tyler and I am not quite sure how it all came about but I like how it turned out so here goes....

The Pumpkin Patch of Writing Prompts

I took some green construction paper and cut them into vines.  I am not sure how successful I was there because they kind of look like seaweed to me.  But, anyways, I glued them on to a brown poster board to form little pockets.  I then used Microsoft Word to put a bunch of fall writing prompts unto pumpkin patterns.  I then printed them out onto orange card stock.

I then tucked the pumpkins into the pockets and printed out a title for the poster.  This is super easy!  My plan is to put this out with some fall themed writing paper and some fun pencils.

I finally figured out how to share PDF files on the internet so here are the patterns for the pumpkins if you are interested.  They are black and white so you will have to print them on orange paper.

Don't forget to keep adding your fall workbox ideas to my giveaway.  I love all the ideas you have shared so far.

Have a blessed night!
