{free} Missouri State Printables

Today, I am sharing the first of 50 {free} state printable packs! They may seem like they are in a random order, but they actually just coincide with states my kids have & will visit first and move out from there. =-) I will be sharing one pack a week (typically on Monday). All packs will be released by July 2013. First up…..



In preparation for next year’s study of the USA I am creating State Printable Packs for our unit – From Sea to Shinning Sea! Studying the US States is a great way to get to know our great country, meet famous Americans, learn about natural habitats & their animals, famous landmarks, history, and have LOTS of fun!! I am thrilled that my Preschooler & 1st grader can learn side-by-side! The packs have lots of activities suitable for kids Preschool – 5th+ grade! Did I mention it is FREE!!
