Celebrate “Get Ready for Kindergarten” Month
with Quilting Treasures and Dinosaur
Train!
Get Ready for Kindergarten Month is celebrated during August
to support a happy entry into kindergarten – a life-changing event for parents
and children alike!
There are many things that can be done to help prepare children for
kindergarten, including working with your child on basic academic skills, such
as writing his/her name and reading letters; teaching critical thinking skills
by encouraging them to ask “Why” questions; working on arts-and-crafts projects
to get your child more comfortable using scissors, markers and other supplies
he/she will be working with in kindergarten; and making shopping for school
supplies a fun experience by letting your child make some choices of their own,
such as the color of his/her backpack or pencil case.
To help you celebrate and prepare, Quilting Treasures has
partnered with The Jim Henson Company and Dinosaur
Train to offer you some fabulous fabrics featuring everyone’s favorite
character Buddy. The fabrics can be used to practice some of these skills with
your children,
and create a fun Dinosaur Train
themed item that your child can take to their new kindergarten – with the
company of Buddy!
Quilting Treasures is currently offering some amazing Dinosaur Train fabrics including:
