Cat Birthday Party Ideas for Pets

First, let’s start with your feline friend. If it’s your cat’s special day, let’s take a look at some cute ideas for your cat’s birthday. These fun ideas can be done alone or in celebration with others.

What should I do on my cat’s birthday?

If you have a feline buddy that is about to have a special way, there are a few things you can do to not disrupt their digestive system or comfortable environment. White a cat party is typically for the feline owner, you should (of course) give a cat a birthday party. There are small things you can do for your special pet including a fun treat, new toys, and ideas for pay-it-forward donations (so they don’t feel completely spoiled.)

  • Make a homemade cat treat
  • Take a cute cat photo
  • Have friends visit with donations to the animal shelter
  • Get a new cat bed
  • Upcycle a box (you need me to explain more? Okay, put a box on the ground – the cat will show you.)

Cat Birthday Party Ideas for a Pet

Take a look at these cat-tastic, cool cat pet birthday party ideas. From drinks to cakes, birthday photos, and more. For a cute idea, ask guests to bring donations for an animal shelter. Your cat truly doesn’t need more than you would already deliver. Grab your organic catnip and a few new toys, – let’s wish your (insert cat name) a very Happy birthday!

Homemade Cat Treats

The best gift you can give your pet is a treat. The online pet store Chewy doesn’t have a premade cat birthday cake (they have a dog birthday cake.) Every cat, however, will enjoy this microwave cat cake mix with turkey flavors. Warning: they might not share with the party guests so save a few extras for any feline guests.

Ready for learning fun? Enjoy these cool hands-on math games for kids. Great for younger and older students, fitting all grade levels and areas of math.

super fun math games

Want to help your children or students love math? Ditch the worksheets for a while and play some fun math games instead. Kids of all ages can benefit from gamifying math concepts. Games help kids with strategic thinking and problem-solving. Not only that, but hands-on math games that allow kids to explore number concepts and combinations with manipulatives help them establish a deeper understanding of numbers and operations.

What are some Fun Math Games for Kids?

Kids’ games are just fun. Math games are a break in curriculum and instruction and allow kids to play without even realizing they learning. Often the hands-on math activity creates a deeper understanding of a math concept before transitioning to a new math unit.

A few fun math games to introduce into the classroom or even a family game night include…

  • ABC Mouse
  • CoolMathGames.com
  • Prodigy
  • Crazy Fractions
  • Proof
  • Splat
  • Fraction War
  • Matharon
  • Nicecho Shut The Box Dice Game
  • Zoom

These games are fun, but did you know you can make your own homemade math games? Additionally, online math games are fun, they add additional screen time which is not always desirable in the classroom. Let’s get the kids off an electronic device and back into hands-on learning with printable mathematics board games and puzzles.

Springtime is the season of flowers, and this game is sure to get kids excited for all the beautiful blooms they see.

Use them to practice numbers 1 through 100. | The Educators’ Spin On It

Affordable Dinnerly Recipes Create Easy Weeknight Dinners

Who could say no to a fresh food delivery that is affordable and yummy?! Take a look at the Dinnerly recipe service and create easy weeknight dinners with this meal service subscription box. Grab a promo code for a free weekly meal box!

easy dinnerly meal delivery service with easy family recipe ideas

Is taste important to you? Do you crave more time? Will you change your dinner routine for the convenience of food arriving at your front door? If you are looking for affordable weeknight cooking and delivery service with fresh ingredients and simple recipes, take a look at Dinnerly Meal Delivery Service.

What is Dinnerly?

family dinnerly meal delivery subscription box service

Dinnerly is a meal delivery subscription dinner box. The meal service brings recipes with fresh ingredients straight to your door for unfussy, affordable weeknight dinners. Dinnerly supplies everything you need to prepare quality, delicious, home-cooked meals that require no planning or shopping.

Customer benefits include a choice of  100+ unfussy weeknight meal choices.  Each simple recipe includes pre-portioned ingredients and will take 30 minutes or less to prepare and cook (often less!) Often the meal subscription service works straight with the farmer suppliers and small organizations, making veggies fresh. Fresh ingredients = lots of taste!

Dinnerly can be shipped anywhere in the United States.

How does Dinnerly work?

The dinnerly website is very clear and easy to navigate. To get started you need to set up your account with your location and the number of people you plan to feed each week.

dinnerly subscription options for meals

To get started…

Choose Your Meal Size. To begin, choose the number of people and choose the number of meals. You can choose 2 or 4 people. You can choose up to 6 meals a week. Don’t worry you can adjust this each week when you are choosing your recipes.

Enter Your Location. Enter your zip code for shipping options.

Choose a Delivery Day. There are a few options for your delivery day based on your zip code. Your box will arrive between 8 am and 9 pm.

example dinnerly checkout for family meal subscription

Dinnerly boxes are designed to keep your produce fresh and refrigerated items chilled during their journey to your doorstep. Once your box is delivered, you should unpack your cardboard box as soon as possible and place its contents in your refrigerator (or freezer.)

How much does a Dinnerly subscription cost?

The price of this fun meal service will vary. For most users, portions will be around $4.99 – $7.00/serving. When choosing your Dinnerly meals, there are a few meals that might have upcharges for premi-YUM ingredients or dietary restrictions including grass feed beef, gluten-free, shrimp, seafood, steak, etc. As a counter, there are also a few options where the price of the portion is reduced.

example dinnerly recipes for family subscription meals

For a pricing example, I feed a family of seven on 4 person box.  (I will share later how I do this.) On average, I have four meals arrive each week. A four-meal week with a portion of four people costs me $94.24 plus $11.99 shipping.  That is less than $25/meal for a freshly cooked meal for my family. This pricing did not include any special offers or up chargers. This was $5.89.

Dinnerly pricing varies on two things:

  1. The number of meals ordered a week.
  2. The number of servings for each meal.

Look at this price chart for the dinnerly cost per serving based on the number of servings and meals.

updated cost dinnerly price comparison chart based on meals and servings

Why was this pricing worth it?

  • It gave me time as did not have to meal plan.
  • It offered convenience as did not have to grocery shop.
  • Everything was at my front door on a date I chose.
  • I was offering my family a variety of recipes (instead of the same old recipe.)
  • I can quickly see nutrition facts including calories, fat, and dietary details.
  • I had dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes.

At a low price of (as low as) $4.99/serving, this was totally worth it and a very affordable meal kit.

Can I edit my recipes?

Yes, choose the weekly recipes you want! There are plenty of different meal options and varieties from Mexican, to Asian, Italian, and more. Dinnerly will suggest weekly menus, but you can edit your dinnerly offers each week. Add more or fewer recipes to your box depending on how many days of the week you need to cook.

I have dietary needs.

If you have dietary restrictions, Dinnerly has solutions. The meal plan recipes can be sorted and you can search among super recipes for vegetarians, gluten-free diets, and healthy living.

Are the recipes hard to make?

No.

I could stop with no but I will offer you more details. I seriously hate coking. It creates a mess and requires culinary creativity. These recipes dummy it down in a quick 20 to 30 minutes. The instructions are easy to read. The tastes are really great. I actually feel amazing at the end of the process. Having cooked dinners from a meal box for almost five months I actually feel like I have acquired a few culinary talents (nothing I ever desired to achieve.)

Can you pause your subscription?

Yes! Are you traveling or extra busy for one week? You can pause your subscription or skip a week. Customers can cancel at any time, there are no commitments to stay.

I have canceled ordering meals during Thanksgiving week or family travel.

I have more than four people in my family.

When you create a dinnerly subscription, you can choose a 2-person meal or a 4-person meal. If you have more than four people in your family, there are a few options. Simply order the same meal multiple times and get up to eight services or add ingredients to your grocery shopping.

I do the latter. Each week after I choose my recipes for the following week, I know what will be included in my dinnerly shipment. Based on these easy dinner recipes, I use my grocery delivery service to order extra ingredients like meats,  starches, or vegetables. My kids eat A LOT and it’s not uncommon for us to have a small portion of leftovers because I added extra chicken, pasta, or even broccoli to a weeknight recipe.

Easy Weeknight Recipes with Meal Subscription

fun dinnerly recipes to choose each week with a family subscription

Weeknights are full of activity mixed with the anticipation of getting to bed at a reasonable time and restarting the next day. Because of the hustle and bustle of the evening, having an easy weeknight recipe is very important.

Dinnerly has changed our evenings in the fact that I am not chasing fast food or going crazy repeating the same ole recipe. I simply open my phone, choose a recipe from my box for the night and grab the ingredients from my fridge.

The ingredients in dinnerly recipes are often about 5 to 7 items. Fewer ingredients plus a few steps. The steps are never longer than six easy steps. The directions are well-written and easy to follow.

Highlights which make these easy weeknight meals…

  • Recipes 30 minutes or less
  • Portioned ingredients
  • Simple recipe instructions
  • Reused pans and bowls for easy cleaning
  • Easily accessible ingredients
  • Few complaints
  • No grocery shopping

Often easy weekend night super of put on repeat. You know how to do it with the back of your hand and your family tires of this easily. When I open a dinnerly recipe, I have no idea where to begin but the six steps don’t cause me much stress. They are easy-peasy and all create new or familiar flavors we love.

In five months there might be five recipes we have repeated. Some recipes are similar tasting but each is new.

Adding to Subscription Box Meals

dinnerly recipe ingredients in subscription box

Dinnerly includes all the key ingredients you need to prep your meal. However, it’s very easy to add your ingredients to a Dinnerly recipe. Recipes only feed up to four people and I have a family of 7 (you do the math.) I could easily order another four-person recipe but that cost adds up. Instead, this non-chef tries this trick – ordering extra ingredients.

Because Dinnerly requires you to choose recipes in advance, I know what is coming the following week. So instead of duplicating my order, I order a few of the key ingredients in my grocery delivery service and add these staples to the easy Dinnerly recipe I plan to cook that week. Typically the items I add to recipes are meat, veggies, or starches. For example extra ground beef, extra pasta, or extra pasta.  If we are really in need of more food (which is rare), I make a side salad, a bread loaf, or a fruit salad.

If you do not wish to order extra food from your local grocery store, during your meal subscription checkout, Dinnerly has the option to add these extra products. These extra meat items or sides are sometimes at a lower price than most grocery stores.

In addition to adding more to the main course, during dinnerly checkout, you can add fun dessert recipes, snack bars, or already-prepared meals.

Recipe Ingredients

When cooking Dinnerly dinner recipes, there are a few pantry staples you will want to have around your house. These items are not shipped but are common cooking ingredients in most homes.

Kitchen staples you should have in your home include…

  • Eggs
  • Red Wine Vinegar
  • White Vinegar
  • Cooking Oil
  • Olive Oil
  • Sugar
  • Flour
  • Butter
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic
  • Mayonaise

These key ingredients will be included in many of the subscription box Dinnerly recipes but not in your subscription box.

Dinnerly does not include recipes in their box. They include recipe ingredients but no recipe cards. Rather the menu planning Dinnerly website has a digital recipe box.

dinnerly smartphone app with digital recipe box

The first week I received my box my heart began to race because I was looking everywhere for dinner instructions. However, I quickly realized how easily I could locate the dinnerly recipes in the app on my phone.

Since the dinner recipes are available on both a Google play store and Apple Store Dinnerly app, you can easily look at digital recipe cards on your phone. However, if you want printable dinnerly recipes, follow these steps for your Dinnerly recipe PDF.

  1. Sign in to Dinnerly.
  2. Go to the order tab.
  3. Click the image of the recipe you want to print.
  4. Click the “click for cooking instructions” button.
  5. A recipe card PDF will open.
  6. Print this printable recipe PDF.

Save these recipes in a recipe binder. This will save money on printer ink and paper later as in the future you can repeat these dinner recipes and easily refer to your dinnerly menu recipe printables.

Of course, there is no need to print your recipes. You can view the cooking instructions right on your smartphone.

Dinnerly Review

Now you want the Dinnerly review? Let me give you my personal Dinnerly experience. I am sure you likely saw a few of my perceptions through the explanations of this meal kit delivery service.

If I may be very honest, I hate cooking. I hate baking. I hate mess. Being in the kitchen includes all of that. Regardless of my distaste for cooking, dinnerly has given me a positive experience.

I started a Dinnerly subscription in August. By February, I was still using the weekly meal delivery service. That’s a really long time (at least for me.) I have tried meal kit services like (Hellofresh or Home Chef) before and never committed to more than a three-week trial. This is dedication through half of a school year and I have no intention to stop. I bet you I make it this entire school year because of how useful it is for me.

What I love about Dinnerly Meal Subscription…

Dinnerly does my grocery shopping. I find it very helpful that the meal service does the grocery shopping for me. Besides using cooking staples (I already have) and adding a few extra items to my grocery list, I am no longer collecting ingredients at the grocery store for my family’s meals.

Dinnerly plans my meals. Dinnerly weekly offers suggestions for kid-friendly meals based on my history and saves and reviews. The menu planner eliminates the difficult planning and offers me weekly ideas. I can quickly confirm what I want to keep on my family’s menu and replace (or erase) what I do not want. This might take me 5 minutes each week.

Dinnerly tastes good. Not one time did my family not love one of the dinnerly supper recipes. I never had to toss a meal. Ingredient quality is there and you cook with fresh ingredients which add plenty of flavors. Does my family have different taste buds? Yes. That being said, there are times that a couple of picky eaters did not favor a dish but for the most part, at least five people like what I have made (that’s a huge accomplishment.)  Most of the time it’s all seven that like the delivered meals as I cater recipes to my family’s taste buds. My husband, who used to order individual meal services, stopped his delivery service and now eats what I cook. Hear me out, it wasn’t awful before it was just not food he wanted. He loves the meals now.

Dinnerly gives me confidence. Confidence in the kitchen was not something I was looking for. I could seriously care less. But I find as I cook more and order more dinnerly meals, I kind of understand the art of cooking. Sorry, I hate to be cliche. But I am learning how to substitute things or add slight variations to improve the preferences of my family/s likes. This was not a skill I had before. I also love the mechatronic pat on my back I get from my family when they say “yum!” or “so good!” (It’s quite frequent.)

I have used dinnerly not only for my immediate family (did I mention I have seven) but also for the extended family that has visited as guests. They loved the meals too. When guests come, I either order double the recipe or I just make adaptions like adding extra rice, sides, or meats.

In fact, this easy and low-cost meal service is mother-in-law approved! My MIL, who I find to be the best home chef ever, totally loved the convenience and cost of this meal service. She is a person who can run to the grocery store and create a five-course dinner with little or no direction. She’s creative with ingredients and flavors and really loved each of the meals I made for her when she visited.

All in all – time, taste and convenience have won me over to use this company week after week after week!

Handprint Transportation Worksheets

These Transportation Worksheets are perfect for creative fun and fine motor skills! The kids will love using their imagination and creating many fun vehicles with their hands! Let them have fun with the process and show off their skills! 

Little kids LOVE all sorts of transportation vehicles. From buses to the ice cream truck, kids can spot them a mile away! These fun transportation worksheets for preschoolers are one that lets them be a part of the creative process from the beginning to the end!

These hand-print worksheets show them that art and imagination can come together in a really cool and unique way. There are great for a rainy day, or a fun way to let the kids build their artistic and creative confidence. In addition to fun handprint art, these means of transportation worksheets work on literacy skills. Help kids bring forth kinetic learning while working on writing and sounding out letters to create a vehicle word.

What are some fun ideas for using these transportation worksheets for kindergarteners?

The best part about this printable transportation pack is that you can use them however you want! The kids can start with one, and take a break, or work their way through them all!

In these cute transportation worksheets, there are modes of transportation that include tires, shifts, buckets, mega wheels, and more. Take a look at these different kinds of transportation that are included in the set.

Modes of Transportation:

  • Ambulance
  • Bulldozer
  • Cement Mixer
  • Dump Truck
  • Excavator
  • Fork Lift
  • Garbage Truck
  • Helicopter
  • Ice Cream Truck
  • Jeep
  • Kayak
  • Locomotive
  • Mail Truck
  • Newspaper Truck
  • Old Time Car
  • Police Car
  • Quad Bike
  • Race Car
  • Skid Steer
  • Taxi
  • Unicycle
  • Volkswagen
  • X-Country Vehicle
  • Yacht
  • Zamboni

Didn’t think we could get A to Z when it came to alphabet vehicles, did you???

I’m a huge fan of having fun options for any and all occasions! Some fun ideas to pair this with would be for a…

  • Sleepover Party
  • Classroom Activity
  • Birthday Party
  • Family Craft Night

Make sure to grab some paint, markers, and crayons for the kids so that they can decorate and color every page just like they imagine!

What are tips for using handprint worksheets?

Since not all handprints are the same, there are a few things to keep in mind. Talk to the kids and let them know that their handprints are not going to fit exactly into the handprint area, but that close enough is fine! That way, they won’t stress out about it and can move on with the rest of the activity.

You can also encourage them to think outside the box and trace their own handprints to recreate some of the transportation vehicles. This shows them that they’re capable of following directions and also using analytical thought to create something new and different, too.

While these A-Z transportation printables focus on quite a few options, it’s not a totally complete list. Have the kids use what they’ve learned and create another page about a vehicle that they haven’t done. They’ll love creative independence!

More Fun Activities for Early Learners

If you like this printable preschool transportation activity, I have more! The more that you can print out and have on hand, the more fun it will be for the kids!

  • Paper Plate Preschool Crafts
  • Dramatic Pretend Play Restaurant Printables
  • Indoor Games

Tips for Printing These Worksheets about Transportation

Make sure that once you print the worksheets, you take the time to laminate them. This is a great way to make this an activity that the kids can play with over and over again. Use markers that are erasable so that the kids can wipe the sheets clean and do these worksheets again!

Supplies

  • Transportation Worksheet PDF printables
  • Printer
  • Paper
  • Laminator (I really like the Scotch brand, but Amazon has a good one too.)
  • Tempera Paint (This set is best)
  • Paint brushes
  • Crayons/Markers

Instructions

Once you download the public transportation workers, it’s a simple and fun process!

First, get the worksheets. Download your Transportation Printable Worksheets 

Once they’re printed, make sure that they are in alphabetical order, and start. You can leave it as easy as that, or make it more, too. The options are up to you!

Talk to the kids about the different vehicle on the page, and then have them either stamp their handprint in the handprint area or trace and color it in.

You can also paint small hands with a paintbrush and allow each child to stamp their hand on their artwork. Let the hand dry and then continue to color your transportation coloring page.

They do this for each of the printable pages and work their way through! It’s actually a catch-22 in that it’s a fun activity for kids but also a cute keepsake for grandparents or you!

FAQ Vehicle Transporation Worksheets

Can these be used for first grade too?

Yes, use for preschool all the way to emergent readers in kindergarten, first, and second grade.

Do these include lowercase letters?

No. The alphabet worksheet set uses all capital letters.

Can you use other mediums of art?

Absolutely, while tempera paint is best for creating handprint art, feel free to use playdough, dot marker paint, crayons, colored pencils, watercolors, and more. The options are endless. You can even make this a fun pom-pom activity.

Land, Air, and Water Transportation Worksheets

I can’t wait to hear what you think about this fun printable transportation activity for the kids! It’s a simple and unique way to work on letter learning, too!

This digital download is fast and straightforward.  You’ll be able to grab the download and start creating and using it right away.

Mad Science Party Charades – This is a timed game where the group is split into two teams. Each group has to guess what the other group is acting out!

Burst the Atom – This game involves balloons and everyone around tries to pop the balloons. Guarantees an eruption of laughter.

Family Sheet Pan Suppers Dinner Recipes

Don’t let the busy weeknight get you down. These Family-friendly Sheet Pan Suppers are easy dinner recipes for individuals on the go! Download the printable sheet pan cheat sheet for sheet pan meal prep to make your own personalized supper diner recipes.

Family Sheet Pan Suppers

Sheet Pan Dinners

When the twins were born — my fourth and fifth children — my family and I ate Crock-Pot Dinners for an entire YEAR. I kid you not. Except for a select few meals and the occasional dinner out, my slow cooker became my best friend. It’s easy and efficient, especially when my hands are full with the kids. When I told my friend about my Crock-Pot addiction, she suggested an alternative: quick, delicious, and easy sheet pan dinners!


Why Sheet Pan Meals?

Imagine, your whole family is fed, you are all ready to wind down the night after dinner and you get to the sink to clean up… But you only have to clean one pan! Yep, these sheet pan recipes will feed a family of four or more and make cleanup a breeze. From sheet pan chicken and potatoes to sausage and veggies, there’s a sheet pan recipe for any ingredients you might have on hand.

How do you Make a Sheet Pan Meal?

Just pick your favorite protein, veggies, and flavors. Toss them together in a bowl, spread them out on your favorite sheet pan, and roast them at a high temperature. Before you know it, you’ll have an incredible dinner on the table!

printable sheet pan dinner recipe cheat sheet

Want to make sheet pan meal prep personalized and super easy. We have amazing sheet pan suppers below, however, if you want to create your very own Sheet Pan Dinner Recipe, follow this Sheet Pan Cheat Sheet. Download, print, and save it in your kitchen. It lists ingredients you can add to your one-pan recipe and then it changes the cooking time based on the protein, starch, and vegetable you chose to put on your sheet pan!

Sheet Pan Dinner Recipe Printable Cheat Sheet

Sheet Pan Meals Tips and Tricks

  1. The first step to perfecting sheet pan suppers is getting a high-quality baking pan. I purchased a Commercial Grade Cooking Sheet over ten years ago and it is by far the best baking sheet I’ve ever used. It’s outlasted every single one of my old baking sheets. Go Commercial. It will last forever!
  2. I don’t love doing dishes. Who does? Okay, I do if they go in the dishwasher. Parchment Paper and Aluminium Foil are a must-have for me when I’m making sheet pan suppers. Invest in your parchment paper and aluminum foil. If you are getting Parchment Paper Sheets (you can’t go wrong with 200 sheets), grab a larger size and cut down. If it’s too small for your pan, you end up cleaning anyways!
  3. I’m absolutely obsessed with good kitchen tongs. The OXO Good Grips 9-Inch Locking Tongs with Nylon Heads are THE best I’ve ever used. Plus, they lock into shape to make storage easy – no more getting stuck in your drawer!
  4. Most sheet pan suppers call for Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This Evo Oil Sprayer Bottle is great for sheet pan meals — and tons of other recipes — because it’s refillable and you can control exactly how much olive oil you use. Mine is practically attached at the hip when I’m cooking!
  5. Mix all your ingredients in a bowl before spreading them out on your sheet pan so your spices and flavors are evenly distributed. I love my nesting, non-stick stacking bowls because you can select the exact size you need for any recipe. They store easily AND they don’t slip and slide around on the counter. Win-win.

Child Screen Time Tickets Printables for Kids Incentives

Trade in these child screen time tickets for entertainment on video games, the computer, tablets, smartphones or even watching television. These screen time coupon printables are great kid incentives, moving responsibility from the parent to the child to earn rewards and prizes!

I recently saw a meme about a mom announcing “screen time is over.” The image of this meme was depicting a grown man in a toddler fit. It gave me a good chuckle. Can you relate?

No matter the age of your child, I am sure we can all relate to temper tantrums once screen time has been declared over. In many cases, the temper tantrum is my own as screen time allows me (as a parent and at-home working mother) to get things accomplished… you can relate to this too, right?

If screen time or the end of screen time in your home is a real juggling act, we have technology tickets that might create incentives, rewards, and structure in your home.

What is the definition of Screen Time?

The screen time definition is pretty straightforward. Let’s try to definite it without using the words. Screen time is the number of minutes that one spends on an electronic device which can include a computer, television, iPhone, tablet, gaming system, or Kindle.

Is Screen Time Bad for Kids?

Yes and no. Just like chocolate and sweets, everything that is for you can either be good or bad. It must be used in moderation.

There are a few reasons individuals might express why too much screen time is bad.

Why screen time is bad…

  • It can affect vision

  • There is a rumor it makes tics worse

  • It can cause aggression

  • It can create ADHD

  • It creates an inability to focus

While I have listed a few reasons people do not prefer screen time, I am not going to go over the reasons screen time is bad. In fact, you can quickly do a web search and get plenty of reasons your child should not have screen time. That is up to you.

As a former teacher and mother of five, I am here to show you why screen time is actually good for kids.

Benefits of screen time include…

  • Learning to focus

  • An ability to sit still

  • Education Learning

  • Rewards

So clearly there are good and bad reasons for screen time, now let’s talk about how to do it in moderation.

Screen Time Rules

Knowing the rules of screen time can save you from the temper tantrum we mentioned above.

If screen time is a reward and certain limits are expected, it’s important to go over rules and expectations with kids. If your kids know their expectations then they know what is to come.

Family Rules for Screen Time might include…

  • Staying in safe online environments
  • Not talking with other people online
  • Not going to cat rooms
  • Setting a timer for screen time
  • Completing responsibilities first

Scholastic actually has a good resource of screen time rules when creating some that work for your family.

Two things that I have found helpful in my own struggle with screen time, are giving the children control and also letting the child know how much time they will have beforehand. When I share the amount of time they can play, my kids are not caught off guard when time is officially up because they began “playing” knowing they only had x number of minutes. While this has not solved all my parenting problems, holding true to time has been really helpful.

Let your kids take charge. For example, when our kids get screen time, they set up an alarm on the kid’s Alexa to go alert them when their time is up. This allows me to not keep track of time and also gives them their own responsibility to monitor their time and get off when their time is up. Before beginning their game, they say “Alexa, tell me when 30 minutes is over” …and that is what she does! Tip: You can also work on Alexa giving them a 25-minute reminder, in addition, so they know they need to wind down where they are in the game.

If you like a few of these screen time benefits, you might appreciate having printable tickets to earn screen time rewards.
