Vintage Bird Prints – Free Downloads

You guys, I don’t know what happened but I have become a bird lady. Okay, I do know what happened, I moved into a wooded area with a creek and suddenly I found myself buying bird seed and handing up bird feeders, and then more bird feeders, and then more bird feeders.

As the birds have come, I have begun hanging up bird prints. I know, this makes me officially crazy. However, I find something so beautiful about vintage bird prints. Plus the bird home décor style goes incredibly well with my love for Grandmillenial Design.

Free Audubon Prints

If you are a lover of beautiful bird prints, you likely know the name John James Audubon. Audubon was was an American painter and expert on birds. His combined his love of both art and birds turned into a plan to make a complete wildlife illustration of all the bird species of North America.

The best news for bird lovers is everyone has access to free John James Audubon’s Birds of America prints. Each one of Audubon’s paintings is now available as a free high-resolution download. Search the vibrant digital library by bird name or begin flipping through the pages to find one that fits your home décor color palette.

If you want to print Audubon prints, consider sending to a local print shop or Staples. I personally send all my free Audubon prints to Staples. Learn how to print at Staples Copy Center.

How to frame Audubon prints of birds

To frame Audubon’s prints of Birds of America, first get a copy of the print. You can digitally download Audubon’s high-resolution images of birds, or you can pick up some resources.

These books are excellent resources for creating Audubon galleries without having to print the images yourself. They come on high quality gloss paper, as any coffee table book would.

I highly suggest you get copies of the prints and frame them yourself. The best places to find frames for Audubon Prints are…

Where to buy frames for prints

If you search Google, there are many framed Audubon prints for sale. However, these same images you can download for free cost hundreds and even thousands of dollars.

May 1, 2021 by administrator Filed Under: Facebook, Holiday, Instagram, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media Leave a Comment

This 4th of July bucket list printable is a great family activity to work on during the July 4th weekend, or make it a full week project!

July 4th is a very celebrated holiday for many Americans. It’s a national holiday and most people have the day off from work to enjoy time with family.

It’s a time to get together and honor our country’s independence. Many families already do this by enjoying very American things like hosting BBQs, pool parties, baseball games, or fireworks displays.

4th of July Bucket List Printable

A new way your family can work together to honor our nation’s birthday is with this bucket list! With this activity, everyone works together to complete the tasks on the printable. These can be done over the July 4th weekend or you can make it into a full week.

Some of the tasks you’ll complete on the 4th of July Bucket List include:

Attend a BBQ
Take a hike
Eat snow cones
Make a red, white, and blue recipe (like our Firecracker Cookies)
Watch a parade
Light sparklers at night
Go to the lake
Have a water balloon fight
Eat watermelon

Many of these activities are likely things your family enjoys doing during the hot summer days already. I know we go swimming a lot and a water balloon fight is always a great way to cool off too. Why not turn these activities into a fun challenge?!

The printable also has some blank lines so you can fill in your own activities you want to do in order to honor America’s independence. Maybe something to do with learning more about the Declaration of Independence, perhaps? Get creative, and add tasks that your family has never done before! It’s great to see what new ways of celebrating you can come up with.

All the End of the School Year Printables you need from last day of school signs, end of school year gifts for teachers and end of school year gifts for students – all with free last day of school printables!

End of the School Year Printables

I have no idea where another school year went. My oldest is entering middle school and my youngest three will be in preschool. The end of the year is incredibly busy so I love to simplify it with the help of free printables. We have plenty of End of the School Year Printables including last day of school signs, end of school year teacher gift ideas, and also end of school year gifts for students.

Last Day of School Signs

It has been a family tradition for us to have first and last day of school signs. I love seeing how the kids have grown.

These black & white Yellow Bliss Road printables have been my favorite last day of school chalkboard signs printables. I actually downloaded from preschool to 12th grade to have them forever! You never know when blog will shut down and I just wanted to have a uniform look each year.

Chickabug has bright last day of school signs with the year. You can get pink, blue, green or purple end of the year signs.

Today’s Creative Life is a friend and has some of the cutest stuff. I really love Last Day of School Pennants for Teens (and kids). I love the idea of her son laying in bed!

Instead of a last day of school sign, how about a Last Day of School Time Capsule. This time capsule leads kids with last day of school questions so you can see how your child has evolved. Begin this school tradition in Pre-K (or Kindergarten) and go to 12th grade!

What about about a finish line last day of school printable from Just Add Confetti. Have your child run their way into summer! Also seen in our End of the Year Activities and School Traditions.

Grab a last day of school photo full of color. I am really in love with these Colorful Last Day of School printables with the year from Happiness is Homemade.

End of School Year Gifts for Students

As a teacher I loved to give small gifts to my students. One item I gave them was a CD of the photos I took during the school year. They loved this. That tradition of giving hasn’t died. My kids, as well, love giving small last day of school gifts for friends.

Pumping Heart Model

It’s so easy to make this working model of the heart! Craft this DIY pumping heart model with your kids for an easy and informative science experiment. With just a few supplies, you can create your very own pumping heart model for some STEM fun at home. This makes a great science lesson in the classroom, too. Enjoy!

DIY Pumping Heart Model

I used to be a teacher, so I have long had a soft spot for activities that would go great in a classroom. After Frugal Coupon Living took off, I never made it back to the classroom. Even so, my love for teaching little ones never left me! I always jump at the opportunity to make some easy science experiments with the kids on the weekends. They have fun AND learn something new, so it’s a perfect way to spend some free time in my book. Instead of teaching your kids about the human body with videos or books, let them create their own working heart model to keep them totally engaged! Hands-on activities are some of the best ways to get kids to learn valuable information and have it stick.

This pumping heart working model project doesn’t take long, but is SO cool! Plus, you probably already have all of the necessary supplies lying around your house. If not, all of the tools can easily be found at your local dollar store! Don’t spend a ton to teach your kids. I love when I can create fun experiments for the kiddos that barely cost a thing. You may even be able to identify a future doctor in your family or your class!

How does this pumping heart model work?

The human heart has four separate chambers, and this working model of the heart represents one of the heart’s chambers. The heart’s chambers pump blood into the body’s arteries, as demonstrated by the model. Every chamber has an entry point, known as the atrium, and an exit chamber, known as the ventricle. Both of these work continuously, pumping blood to keep it flowing through the body. To stop blood from going back into the chambers of the heart, valves close when the blood exits. The balloon acts as a valve in our pumping heart model, which prevents blood that exits the chamber from reentering the chamber. To make this clear to the kids, try removing the balloon from the equation and see what happens to the water.

Add this pumping heart model experiment to your weekend plans to give your kids their daily dose of STEM. It’s important to peak their interest in science and math at an early age. Who knows — it might inspire your little ones to pursue a future career in the medical or science fields!

Let me know how much you and your kiddos absolutely love this easy science experiment in the comments below. Have fun!

Questions to ask the kids:

Where does the water stop inside the straws?
Does water travel up inside of the covered straw?
Does the water return to the jar when the balloon is released?

Supplies you’ll need to make a working heart model:

One large mason jar
2 balloons
1 to 2 cups water
Food coloring, if desired (we recommend using red, of course!)
2 bendy straws
Tape
Scissors
Rimmed tray or casserole dish

Directions:

First off, mix your food coloring and water, if you choose to add it. Pour the water into the jar.

Next, cut one balloon in half. Discard the bottom/side with the opening of the balloon.

Then place the remaining piece of the balloon loosely over one of the straws. Secure the cut edge to the straw with tape. Set aside.

On the other balloon, cut the balloon in half to remove the narrow neck part of the balloon. Stretch the remaining part of the balloon over the mouth of the jar. Cut two tiny slits in the balloon. Secure the balloon’s cut edge to the jar with tape.

Pressing the balloon to make the holes slightly larger, push the bottom of each straw through a hole in the balloon.

On the straw without the attached balloon cap, bend the neck so the top points down.

Next, place the jar in a rimmed baking sheet or casserole dish.

To make the model heart work, press down on the balloon stretched over the jar. Water will flow through the uncovered straw. The straw with the balloon cap will inflate.

You’re done! You created your very own pumping heart model.
