ON THE GO LEARNING FOLDER! HOW YOU CAN MAKE ONE TOO - SO EASY!


Instead of making my 3 year old the on the go learning activity bags - I made him a learning folder to bring with to our co-ops to keep him busy while I help my kindergartner!

I printed off the pages from:

match the shapes (see velcro on them? I put the page in a clear page protector cover, places velcro on each shape & on the shape cut out for him to match up, now he can do it over & over again!) The pieces that have velcro on them are laminated.


Using the dry erase markers he is circling the correct answer!

I slid each page in a clear page protector cover, placed it in the 3 ring section of his own folder. I added colored dry erase markers to his backpack and an eraser. Now he can trace shapes, match shapes, etc! Now he can use them over and over and then I can hold onto these pages for my other 2 little ones!

    What a great idea! I did something similar years ago for a cross-country car trip. I like the idea of pulling this out while working w/ another child. I'm going to have to start planning mine. :)

    The velcro numbers are particularly interesting to me since they would be less likely to get lost. That's a great idea!

    I did this same thing (well, minus the ones with the velcro), and my kids LOVE them! And it's a great way to help them learn while they have fun!

    Love the velcro activities. It makes it so much more hands on than just giving him a pile of worksheets or coloring sheets to pass the time. Great ideas! Thank you for sharing.
