  16. Two of my kids are learning how to write, so right now my favorites are the letter tracing printable’s.

  31. I love the end of year certificates. We have been looking for ideas on how to celebrate graduation from first grade this year since she is in homeschool (bleh!), this gives me a great idea to do our own ceremony.

  32. Your activities and printables are great! I like this set especially: Summer Journal Activity Pack.

  43. I love the hands on, sensory based activities. Kids love to learn this way. We are going to make moon sand next. It looks awesome!!

  44. I am so happy that I found Laura Kelly designs. So uplifting in a time that we all really need some cheer. I have also ordered masks! Thank you Laura!

  50. 25 ways to play at home has been on our fridge during this time spent home. It has given the kids quite a few ideas!

  54. The 25 Ways to Play at Home free printable is my favorite from your free printable library. I also liked the Free Covid-19 Time Capsule Collection. In particular, I thought the sheet that had kids write about what they’re feeling and what they miss most was a great idea.

  65. I LOVE the Happy Mail and the Be Kind printables. Both are so so good for what we are dealing with right now. Such a wonderful way to spread happiness.
