I'm super excited to share our Australia Unit with free printables.  

There is so much to learn about this amazing place!

Part of the Oceania, this country/continent is so unique with endless fascinating things to learn about.

My kiddos couldn't get enough of these activities.

This is what's on our shelves!

Montessori-inspired Australia Unit With Free Printables

Australia Spelling Activity

 

The kiddos will stamp the circle under the correct spelling of each word.

Australian English Food Vocabulary

 The kiddos will match up the Australian word & picture cards with the USA word and picture cards. Already this has been a favorite activity, even in creation.  

I must say, I think I prefer "fairy floss" over "cotton candy."

Australia Sentences with Grammar Symbols

Last month we studied prepositions, but never applied the knowledge to sentence structure. 

This week we'll do just that, learning more about Australia as we go along.

Visiting Australian Addition & Bar Graph Activity

All of the kiddos really enjoy the bar graph activities on the shelves. 

This week I decided to step it up, by adding and extra die to the activity.  

The kiddos will add the dots on both dice to determine how many people visited each Australian city.  They'll use the beads to create the graph.

50 Australian Animals

This activity is for Dinomite.  He loves animals more than anything else.  Of course the other kiddos will enjoy it to. 

The kiddos will sort the animals anyway they choose, learning names etc.

Australian Animal Writing Activity

Dinomite is having an EXTREMELY hard time with his writing right now.  

In an effort to keep him practicing, I've decided to make his writing assignments about what he wants to write about.

I've created Animal Writing sheets for him to use each day, selecting an animal of his choice. 

There is also a box for him to draw a picture of the animal.

Since Dinomite freaks out about spelling on a regular basis, I also allow him to use his books to help him write what he wants to say.  

This has been a great way to teach him about not copying other people's sentences, but to create his own.  I'm hoping to introduce a dictionary to him soon.

Australia Climate Zones

The kiddos will identify climate zones on the map by color.  

They will use the key to pair up color code cards with picture of climate cards.  

I'm excited to review climates. It's been a long time!

Famous People in Australia

The kiddos will match up the people cards with their talent.  

I'm hoping this will help the kiddos understand what Australia's social culture is like.  

It looks like fun!

Felt Flag of Australia

Picture from A Little Learning For Two

I fell in love with this activity when I saw it.  Hopefully the kiddos will enjoy it too. 

They will use all of the parts provided to create the flag of Australia, using the control provided.

Great Barrier Reef Sensory Bin

The kiddos should love this sensory bin.  I couldn't figure out what to use for the actual reef, but hopefully this looks okay.  

Tea Time in Australia

 

The kiddos will practice pouring "tea" and serving it with Princess' tea set.

Making Fairy Bread

I LOVE this activity. I think it's my favorite on the shelves this week.  In Australian culture, it's very popular to have Fairy Bread at kid's birthday parties etc.

Fairy Bread is white bread, covered with a thick layer of soft butter, sprinkled heavily with those hard candied dot sprinkles. If this doesn't make sense, just look on pinterest.

I think it tastes delicious, although I can't eat more than one slice.  

This activity invites the kiddos to practice spreading, spooning, and cutting all in one activity.  

Who wouldn't love it?
