If your child isn’t a fan of lacing cards, my son wasn’t, he found it to be a difficult activity for him so he hated it.
I would race him, I’d get my own lacing card and we’d see who could finish first.
I like lacing cards as it prepares them to learn how to tie their own shoelaces, something that took longer for my boys to do but was picked up much quicker by my daughter.

Hi Monique,
I’m sure I paid $10.00 for the membership (all receipts are sent to my accountant so I’m unable to determine this way). however, I don’t know how to sign in and get the awesome things that come with my membership. Sorry if this seems like a silly question. I’m usually very good at this but not this time lol!! Thanks for getting back with me

Hi, do you pay a membership fee to print things on here? I didn’t see that. I am just wanting to print lacing cards and mats, things like that. I am a grammy who will be working with her granddaughter who is three. She will be learning in a playful way. I have always wanted children to love to learn. That way they are more prepared for school. I taught preschool for 19 years. I have a lot of things but love your ideas. Thank you so much for your time.
Have a great day, Barb 🙂

Hi Barbara,
I have paid membership if you’d like to access my printables in one download area (https://www.livinglifeandlearning.com/membership), however, if you don’t want to do that, you’d need to go to each individual post to enter your email and the link for the pdf will be emailed to you.
I’m so happy that you found my blog.
