Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers out there today! If I know my own Mother, she is out mucking stalls with her furbabies. She used to tell me that all of her gray hairs were merit badges for raising kids. Hmm...she should have had a head of white hair along time ago then, she's raised hundreds, if not thousands of kids in her lifetime. Happy Mother's Day, Mom! :)
I decided to post something today that is summery. Why? Because I am really ready for summer. Not that I like the excessive heat and bugs, I DO like the sunshine! The 'hula bear' featured in this project was part of a "summer camp" that I created last year where my fans/followers were able to download cool stuff to keep the kids happy during the summer months. It was then picked up by a craft company (that shall remain nameless) and published last year.
I've always wanted to go to Hawaii. Have you been there? I think my aversion to flying, kind of crimps the plans of that ever happening. lol Not unless they get some sort of teleporting system similar to Star Trek, I'm land bound. :)
Note: Do you LOVE fonts like I do? The cute font that I used on the cover of the free packet in the link below was made by my friend Wendy at Teacher's Toolkit! You can download it for free from here TPT store here!

Materials Needed:
Cardstock
Scissors
Lamination
Binder Rings
Hole Punch
Dry Erase Marker
Hula Bear Alphabet Tracer Template
(Blank template included)
The Hula Bear Alphabet Tracing Cards are perfect for a summer theme! A blank template is being provided as well as the pre-made alphabet tracer cards in case you'd like to make other tracers to go along with the same theme.
Directions:
1. Print out templates onto cardstock.
2. Cut individual cards out, and laminate. Laminating after the items have been cut out provides a better seal around the cards.
3. Punch a hole in the left (or right) corner of the cards and insert a binder ring. Using a large binder ring makes it easier to trace on the separate cards without tearing them.
4. Cards are ready for play. Use a dry erase marker or crayon for tracing alphabet letters.

Hi Danielle! Thanks so much for the nice comments on my blog - and I also avoided going to Hawaii because of the whole flying thing. I eventually did go and of course it was amazing. I'd recommend it! Oh, and another thing I wanted to tell you - my husband and I grew up in the same small town, and he had goats! Their names were Nameless (because they couldnt think of a name?) and Jumping Bean. They were so cute and smart!
