Hi there, Mel D!
I was wondering if it would be possible to just get the calendars that go with the Peace Themed Behavior Clip Chart? I am thinkin' if you "groovy-ized" it, I would love to use it with the behavior plan I already have. And, if at all possible, a preview to look at would be fab...thank you!

Your partner in peace,

rayrae85 re: Candy Land Fractions Game
I've just found your wonderful games. I just bought a Candy Land game at a garage sale. How do I know what year the board is? I didn't realize there was a difference. Does it really matter if the board and the pieces don't really go together? Thank you for your help.

lyankosky re: Candy Land Scott Foresman (Reading Street) Unit 1-5 Bundle-Grade 1
Hi! This looks wonderful, but I just want to make sure of what's what before I purchase. I am a first grade teacher. Are the words in this Candy Land set ONLY first grade? It seems like 400 words is a lot, and probably more than what the first grade has for all five units. Just want to make sure. Thanks. Laurie

Hi There,

I've got a few word study groups going in my classroom and the "highest" group has been asking if they could play candyland. I've got my short vowel friends playing one of your games weekly... The "highest" group is working on syllablication... any suggestion for which game would best meet their needs with 1,2 and 3 syllable words, if any?

Thank you!

wtaylor49 re: Reward Coupons-Set 2 (65 Coupons)
I would like to better understand the fuzzies and coupons. Are fuzzies for purchasing items(pencils, etc.) or are they good for getting coupons as well? What do you mean by trading coupons? Are coupons given out only on Fridays? Sorry if you covered this in the blog; I didn't catch it. I don't have a Pinterest account, so some of your links are unavailable to me. I LOVE the coupon concept; just need to know more about how to put it to best use.

The cards that go with the specific board by year seem to be off? The 2004 and 2010 are the same? I have the 2010 board. Could I get a revised sheet for this board?

Hey-- I can't help but notice how extremely popular and amazing your site is. I am a TpT Newbie and am wondering if you can give me some pointers as to how to make the most of my posting efforts. My screen name is Legato30 if you get a chance to take a look and help me out. (I'm also the one waiting on the Candy Land template to convert to a music game). If you want to help me out personally my email is

Hi Mel...Correct me if I am wrong but a while back (probably last summer), I saw you had a math game where all the facts were printed on small avery labels and you would stick those labels on popsicle sticks. Do you still have that available to purchase?

sarahjane407 re: Candy Land Nonsense Word Game #2
These games look fun, and I'd love to purchase some for my class. The only thing that is holding me back is the font. I teach struggling readers, and the mix of upper and lowercase letters in the font will be really confusing to them. If you ever changed that aspect, I would love to buy some of these nonsense word Candy Land games!

Hey Mel! Thank you so much for making the CandyLand game cards! I purchased the first 100 Fry words set. In my district, we use the Dolch Word list. Do you sell blank copies of the cards? Some of the Fry words work but I wanted to include a few different ones! Let me know and I will be happy to purchase another set from you. Thank you!

I was wondering if you could make a candyland game for me with our sight words? I have struggling to find fun games that keep their attention to help them with their sight words. I have bought a couple of your other candyland games and the kiddos LOVE them! I have no idea if this would be something you are interested in or not, but I am willing to pay whatever for a game personalized to our first grade words! Thank you so much!

Hi Mel...
We were just checking out your blog & found this cute download. We appreciate that you're using our clip art to make your project cute... but we don't see anything that says 'made with DJ Inkers clip art.' That's REALLY important to make sure you are not violating any copyright rules. See our terms here: http://www.djinkers.com/xcms_entry.php?xcmsentryid=14

On any project you create using DJ Inkers fonts or clip art you must state on the project & description that it was made using our clip art or fonts.

Also, this particular download includes a page that comes from a download available for purchase on our site (the coupons). We'll have to ask you to please remove that page from the download. You are welcome to create your own coupons using our art, but those are part of a collection that sells on our site.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation. :) -DJ Inkers
