Roll the nutcracker cube and count the nutcrackers. Now, find the corresponding number on the other cube. Click on the picture above to see the Nutcracker Number Matching in action!

Confessions of a Homeschooler’s LETTER OF THE WEEK Insert Cards

As promised, there are some new Education Cubes insert cards on the Members Only Site that I am SUPER excited to share with you! I have partnered with Erica from Confessions of a Homeschooler to bring to you three awesome sets of insert cards to go along with her Letter of the Week Preschool Curriculum!

All images are used with the permission of Erica from Confessions of a Homeschooler.

The three downloads, which can be accessed by joining the Education Cubes Members Only Site are:

• COAH Letter of the Week Capital Letters (shown above)
• COAH Letter of the Week Lower Case Letters
• COAH Letter of the Week Pictures (just the pictures…no letters)

Designed to be used as a supplement to the Letter of the Week Preschool Curriculum, there are TONS of possible ways to use these! One idea is to roll the cube and Identify the picture and the letter. For more of a challenge say the sound that the letter makes!

Do you have ideas on how to use the Letter of the Week Education Cubes? Leave a comment with your ideas!!!
