Dinosaur Graphing {Using the Blank Template}

I just love how Jen from Chestnut Grove Academy used the Blank Insert Cards along with some dinosaur printables from another site to make a Dinosaur Roll-a-Graph Pictograph activity for her son! (She adhered the smaller dino printables to the blank template, which is sized to fit the cubes.) This is a great hands-on graphing activity for dino lovers!

Spanish Drawing Fun {Pick and Draw}

When Tracey from Tot Play linked up to the Show & Tell, I was so thrilled with her idea that I just had to share it with you all!

Attention: Mac Users

If you are a Mac user having difficulties downloading the insert cards on the Members Only Site, here are a few solutions that I have worked for other Mac users.

1) Be sure that you are using Adobe Reader for Macs (as opposed to the default Mac viewer) when you are attempting to download. You can download the Adobe Reader for Macs from here for free.
 
2)  Rather than trying to click on the image to download the file, right click over the image and download the linked file using “Save Link As…” Once the file is saved onto your computer, open the pdf file to print.
Hopefully these tips will be helpful for the Mac users having difficulty!
