I have gone through the first day of Kindergarten three times and I still have three more times to go. My four year old is begging to go to school. While I can’t put her in Kindergarten yet, I can work on things to help prepare her for when it is her turn.
We will be working on her basic skills, like writing her name, reading letters and numbers. We will also work on lots of arts and crafts to help her get use to using scissors, markers, glue, and other supplies. She loves when it is back to school time because we refresh all her supplies and she knows exactly what styles and designs she wants.
To help you celebrate, Quilting Treasures has partnered with The Jim Henson Company and Dinosaur Train to offer the following fabrics featuring the character Buddy. The fabrics can be used to practice some of the skills I mentioned above with your children; something they can use at school like this pencil case:
Here is how to make a Dinosaur Train Pencil Case.
Would you like to have some of this fabric? Quilting Treasures is sponsoring the following new fabrics:
1 yard of the Dinosaur Train themed book panel
Plus,
1 yard of either of the below Dinosaur Train themed fabrics:
AND, ½ yard of one of the below Dinosaur Train themed coordinates:
One of the 5 designs will be randomly selected.
The Dinosaur Train fabrics can be used for many other crafting projects like a nap mat, lamp shade, bulletin board, picture frame, and many more! View their entire collection of craft projects. Quilting Treasures Fabrics are available at select independent retailer. Dinosaur Train fabrics retail for approximately $12.00 per yard.
