Littles Learnng Link Up: Patriotic Idea Round Up


Welcome to Littles Learning Link Up. Each month you will find:
  • A seasonal round-up (at the beginning of the month)
  • A guest post featuring crafts, activities, tips, snack ideas or other early childhood topics. (toward the end of the month)
  • Posts where I share what I have been up to with my preschoolers and/or early elementary children.
Each week, I will host a link up, where you can share either what you have been up to recently, or old posts that may go with the theme.  Feel free to link up more than one post.

Each week I will continue to feature a couple of posts from those that have been linked up. 

I hope you will continue to share your wonderful posts, and I hope you will find something new to try with your child.

I had every intention to share a patriotic round up featuring ideas from other great bloggers in this week's Littles Learning Link Up. Unfortunately, I am still recuperating from surgery I had last week and can NOT sit at the computer long enough to put together such a post. I would, however, like to share some fun patriotic ideas.

Last year I shared my own Patriotic Idea Round Up featuring crafts, activities, muffin tin meals and desserts that I have made with/for the children in the past. Perhaps you will be able to find some inspiration here:


Now onto:

Littles Learning Link Up Features

On my last Littles Learning Link Up post, there were 20 wonderful posts linked up. I will be picking one randomly selected post to share, plus the top clicked-on post.  

This week's randomly selected post is:



Maria from Sew Travel Inspired shared 5 Tips for a Successful PhD Box. If you are wondering what a PhD box is, like I was, you will just have to click on over to see.

The following post had the most clicks:


Andrea from Make This The Day shared Homeschooling With My Crazy, Energetic, Two Year Old Boy. I don't have a 2 year old boy anymore (pout pout), but I know there are many who search for ideas for keeping toddlers occupied. Frankly, my 3 year old boy still makes things a bit tricky, so it is always nice to find some new ideas.

I would love to have you join in this week! What sort of activities do you do with your young children? Do you have some favorite activities you would like to share? I invite you to link up below. I will be pinning posts on my Toddler Ideas or other relevant board, and I would love to feature some of the activities each week from what is linked up.

Please know I may share a picture from your post and link back to it, along with sharing how we used your idea in our school time. By linking up you are giving me permission to use a picture from your post. I will ALWAYS give credit and link back. Additionally, if you choose to try out any of the ideas with your child, please make sure you give credit where credit is due.

Linky will be open through Sunday night, to give me time to check out all the posts and get the Features organized. Please take the time to visit some of the other wonderful posts linked up.

Patriotic Ideas Roundup




It's that time of year, time to gather fun, patriotic ideas to get ready to celebrate our nation's birthday. Here are some of the fun things I have posted in the past with the links to the original posts (where applicable).

Patriotic Muffin Tins:







Yummy Desserts:

Red, White and Blue Jello

Patriotic Ice Cream Sandwiches on a Stick

Patriotic Strawberries

Patriotic Berries


Simple Craft ideas:

American Flags: We glued blue and red construction paper onto white construction paper and made white fingerprint stars.



Red, white and blue collage- I found some star outlines online and printed them out in various sizes on red, white and blue paper, along with some fireworks.  The girls glued them to black paper.




The children made these paper towel roll fireworks at Story Hour last year. The librarian wasn't sure where she found the idea. But it again is simple to put together.









Activities: 

Montessori fine motor activity 




And here is a link to my Patriotic Pinterest Board for many, many ideas.
