  • Friday Freebie – Yarn Keepsake

    Happy Friday! I swear that the farther away from summer we get, the longer the weeks feel.  Thankfully, it’s Friday! Today’s freebie is the perfect ending to all of the yarn activities that I shared this week.  This cute keepsake poem is meant to be shared with a string that is as tall as the child at the beginning of the year, and another piece of string that is as tall as the child at the end of the year. Families will love this little momento and it’s a great way to practice measurement. Download your copy from Kidpeople Classroom and have a wonderful weekend!
