Slinky Farm Animals!
This simple printable craft activity is great for preschoolers through to first grade. It is an excellent fine motor activity and helps students develop cutting and coloring skills. Children love the springy, slinky designs! It is an excellent activity to add to either a farm unit or as a craft activity to follow a read-aloud story about animals. I found it to be one of the most successful crafts I have ever completed with preschool students. This product includes a dog, pig, cow, sheep and cat

Teaching style
We believe in engaging, hands-on learning experiences that target student interests. By interacting with the material through all of the different senses in many different ways, children will be able to commit the information to memory, understand its importance, and apply it to the world around them.
