American Girl Doll Puzzle and Game Sites

The American Girl Dolls have long been a popular collectors item among children and adults. Adults also know that themes can help us engage children in learning and the American girls have engaged children in learning more about historical time periods associated with the dolls. Recently in doing some holiday research on games and puzzles I found some American doll sites and decided I would list them for those who might have an interest in using them with their children.

Need Help Finding Resources?

At the present time I have no plans to evaluate specific home school programs. There are many websites and blogs far more qualified to handle that task than I. From time I will discuss specific curriculum materials and you will see advertisement for products. However, if you have specific questions or interests in curriculum materials or strategies that you can not find answers to please feel free to leave a comment in the curriculum section you are searching or on this blog entry and I will do my best to help you find answers.

I make the same offer to teachers and parents who do not home school. If you do not find the materials you are searching for please leave me a note in the comment section describing what you are looking to find. I make no promises but I will do my best to help.

In conjunction with my other writing projects I am continuing to find new resources and material for articles. You will see this in updated links on the curriculum pages and new articles that appear. It is always helpful to know what people want and need as well.

Bring Maps and the Alphabet Alive with Home Linens

Many blog entries and articles I write for other sites arrive from other research I do or questions or problems others bring to me. I started researching learning mats for a family member and then branched off to look for a different kind of learning mat that I remembered hearing about. Both mats were plastic and designed along the lines of a Twister game. The mats were of a plastic/vinyl style. I had seen different versions of the games put out by various manufacturers. One was based on learning numbers and the alphabet and the other US states. When I started my summer Christmas shopping, I began an Internet search for these products only to find that the ones I remembered had been pulled from the market do to issues with the plastic. I could find rugs with similar game styles but there were two drawbacks, the size and the cost. The rugs were not designed to pack and take with you. The rugs I found were good sized and of significant weight. The other factor was the cost. The rugs while a great addition to any child’s room or play area were not in my budget. So I got to thinking about alternate materials for creating these mats and another article was born.

File Folder Games and Activities

Parents and educators are looking for easy inexpensive ways to promote alternate learning styles. Independent learning is another value and frankly required element of learning. Neither parent nor teacher can be with a child at all times assisting and monitoring. Activities that provide solid educational learning and independent structure are valuable for child and teacher. Computers do provide many with these activities but there still are some old but good strategies out there that work.
As I was researching links for the blog the other day, I came across links for file folder games and activities which I added to the blog under Early Childhood and Math sites. I thought this would be an ideal candidate for article for a content site I write for as well as a chance to encourage people to try the strategy. It really isn’t complicated to do. File folders are cheap methods to make game boards and independent learning activities. You can create your own resources or use the pre-made options advertised here.
