Farm Animal Families

Happy Friday Everyone!  We’re celebrating the end of the school week with a new Farm Animal Families work.  I wasn’t able to find free 3-part Nomenclature cards and the ones I found for sale weren’t worth the $18.  I’m including my cards in this post, but there isn’t anything fancy about them.  What they will do, is save you the time of designing your own; you only have to print, cut, and laminate (optional) them.  JR is already using the correct terminology for the animals and it’s really cute.  I bet your kids will like them too.

  

  

Asher loved observing JR’s work.  He would point to the cow and say, “mooooo”.  I see Asher matching these on his own in the near future.  He was really interested in it.

How to use and store this work:

  

3-Part Nomenclature Cards – Farm Animal Families 

        

 

  

{Note:  These are jpeg files; the pdf files were too large to upload.  Due to health reasons, I cannot email the pdf files temporarily.  I hope to get back to emailing them in April 2012.}

 I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.  Tomorrow, Robert is taking the boys to Bass Pro Shop so I can get some work done.  I started a new project; a screened in porch.  I’ll be selecting materials, furnishings, lighting and accessories.  Sounds fun, right?  I have a feeling we’ll be spending a lot of time outside too since the weather is wonderful right now. 

What are your weekend plans?

    Wow! Thanks for these. I am working on farm animals with J-jo right now so these are great. Would you mind sending me an email with the pdfs though? A screened in porch sounds great! I wish our weather could be just a tad warmer, but low 60s are much better than the 30s we’ve had so I can’t complain:)

    • Lori says:

      I’m glad someone else will get to use them too. Makes the work worth it. I’ll email you the pdf files. It’s 73 degrees here right now…almost doesn’t seem fair, but I’ll take it. :)

  2. Jen says:

    I love these! Thanks for doing all of the hard work for me :) You’re such a great sister. I printed these out and am laminating them to have on hand for Holden in a few years. I know, I do things way ahead – but if I don’t get these at least printed & laminated now I may never do it!!

  3. Jen says:

    Oh, and my weekend plans…tonight we are going to hang up all the frames!! I’m so excited to see the finished product. Tomorrow I think we are going to pick up the new door and maybe look for some of the letters. No big plans, just working on various projects.

  4. Lois Tschaepe says:

    These are beautiful cards! I’m anxious to use them with my grandsons. Could you possibly email me the cards in pdf.? Thank you.

    Blessings!

  5. Jac says:

    Awesome, these are beautiful cards. I was searching for them and stumbled on your site, btw, you have a great site.

    Can you email me the pdf files so I can print them out and work them with my son?

    Thanks!

  6. Steluta Vasiliu says:

    Many thanks for sharing us these cards. Is it possible to send me by e-mail the pdf files? Thank you.

  7. So wonderful! You did a great job making them! I would love to get the pdf if you could send it to me! I know my girls will enjoy them too! Have fun on your porch! I wish I could think about sitting outside, but here in ohio we are expecting 17in of snow!

    • Lori says:

      I’d love to share them with you. I’ll email them to you shortly. We’ve been enjoying a short spell of temperatures in the 70s, but a cold front is about to come through. Boo. I can’t say I’m jealous of your snow. ;) That’s why I’m a Texas girl.

  8. sarahwamn says:

  13. Kimberly Le Lay says:

    Hello! I just came across your blog. Just fantastic. I would love to have a pdf of your farm animals if possible. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and materials.

    • Lori says:

      Thanks Kimberly. I’m glad you like them. I’ll send them over shortly. It’s a really fun work. I bet the kids are going to love it.

  14. Darla Duckworth says:

    Lori, Your “Farm Animal Families” cards are very nice. Could you please email them to me in the pdf. format. My printer is not working well with the jpg. images. They will be very valuable to our public, Montessori classroom in Waco, TX. Thanks for all you hard work.

    • Lori says:

      I’d love to. How nice that you have Montessori Magnet schools in Waco. I wish they did that in the DFW area for my children. I’ll send the cards over shortly. Let me know if the kids in your classroom enjoy them. :)

  15. Nadja says:

    Hi from South Africa!
    I came across your site today and love your farm animal cards. I have a small Montessori school which I run from home and am forever making up new materials and would love to make up these cards. Please email the PDF files.
    Thanks so much!
    Nadja

    • Lori says:

      Hi Nadja! How wonderful is it that the internet puts us in touch with each other! I’d love to send you the cards. You should receive them soon. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you come back soon and comment often because I’d love to hear from South Africa from time to time. :)

  16. Star says:

    Would love the PDF versions. Just found you site today. Thanks so much for the great ideas.

  17. Inna says:

    Hi Lori
    Is there any chance to email your farm animals families nomenclature cards to me in PDF file?
    Kind regards
    Inna

    • Lori says:

      I’d love to Inna! I’ll send them over shortly. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you swing by often.

      • Inna says:

        Hi Lori
        Sorry to bother you again but I haven’t received your email with farm animal families in PDF format. Any chance to send them to me? email address: innamont8@bigpond.com
        Many thanks

    • Lori says:

      It says the pdf files exceeds your fixed maximum message size; even if I send them one at a time. I can’t make them any smaller without turning them into jpegs which are already uploaded to the post. Let me know if you have another idea how I can send them to you. Sorry about that.

  18. Kristen Landry says:

    These cards are wonderful and I would love to have a PDF file of them. I know we would get a lot of use out of them. My son loves farm animals.

    hi, can i have the pdf files as well? Thanks for sharing :)

    • Lori says:

      Nana, I just noticed I never responded to your comment. I’m so sorry about that! Did I ever send you the Farm Animal Families cards? If not, I can send them right away. I hope you forgive my oversight. -Lori

  21. Christie says:

    I was hoping that someone else had already made some cards like this. I knew it would take me forever to accomplish and why reinvent the wheel?! Can you email me the PDF files? Thanks!!

  22. Andrea says:

    I love these! These cards are wonderful-Could you please email them to me in the pdf ?

    Thanks!

  23. Aileen says:

    Hi , These cards are brilliant.May I have a pdf copy please.Thanks

  24. Sarah says:

    I’ve been following you for a while and just discovered these wonderful cards. Could I ask you to send me the PDF? My youngest son is soooo into farm animals these days. I think your cards would be a great addition to our farm basket! Thank you!

    • Lori says:

      Hi Sarah, first of all…thank you for following me. I’m glad to have you as a reader. =) Second of all…I’d love to send you the cards. I bet your little guy is going to like them! My sons are really into the farm right now too. I hope you’re having a great weekend!

  25. Adriennie says:

    Hi Lori!
    One of my dreams is to one day have a farm of my own but in the mean time, this work will do! My kids and I love animals of all kinds. Could you send the pdf link to my email? Thanks in advance. Also…I was ‘eavesdropping’ on a comment above…Whats a Montessori Magnet School?

    Take care,
    Adriennie

    • Lori says:

      I’d love to send you the pdfs. A Magnet school is a school provided by the public school system, but it offers a specialized curriculum. Some specialize in the arts, other science, some math, but in this case Montessori. It often has high academic standards and has limited openings. We don’t have a Montessori Magent School in our area…unfortunately. You should check to see if they have one in your area. It would be a great resource to know about.

      • Adriennie says:

        Same thing as a charter school? My son attending a Montessori Charter school at the start of Kindergarten–It did NOT work out. The public school system in my area is failing and private schools are Soo expensive. I even heard that at one of the TOP private schools in my area, the wealthier parents are simply moving to different areas-just because the education is not up to par! I have accepted that at some point, I will end up homeschooling my two. My son is slated to start a brand new(just built) elementary school in the Fall and I’m worried because school starts in like 2 months and they don’t even have the PTA set up yet! Ugh! Anyway, I’m rambling, thanx for the info!

      • Lori says:

        That’s dissapointing! I’m sorry you’ve had such trouble with the public school system. I hope homeschooling works out better for you guys. Once you get in the groove, I bet you are really going to like it. I know I do. :)

  26. gr8fulmama says:

    Wow, you are my angel. I am trying to get myself together for a schedule for our 3 year old twins:) WEll, they turn 3 on the 13th. I am hoping to find some guidance for a schedule, any thoughts.

    • Lori says:

      I’d love to give you an answer, but I have a lot to say. {As always} =) Is it ok if I make a whole post about it? I think it might help others too. Or I can email you if you prefer that.

  27. gr8fulmama says:

    Hi there again,
    Thank you for this amazing work. Would you email me the pdf? Also, what is the container in the green container? Is the green container from IKEA? Much happiness to you!

  28. Salena Tucker says:

    Hi, Thank you for these.. I am wondering if you can e-mail them to me? thank you .

  29. Wendie Anne says:

    Hi Lori,
    You do such wonderful work with your children, I would love a copy of your PDF to use with my children too.
    Thank you so much for your inspiration.

    • Lori says:

      Thank you Wendie Anne for your sweet comment. I will send the pdfs right over. I hope you come back often and comment as much as you can. I love hearing from you guys!

  30. gr8fulmama says:

    Hi there,
    I would love to have the pdf file. Would you be able to email me? glazedandfuzed@verizon.net. Thanks a ton!!!

    • Lori says:

      I tried to email them, but they were returned as undeliverable. The files are larger than what is allowed by your email provider. My sister printed out the jpegs and they look very good. I would right click on the images in this post and save them to your computer to print out. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to send the pdf files. I hope the jpegs work out for you.

  31. gr8fulmama says:

    HI there,
    of course, please do make a post about my question:)

  32. Elaine Friis says:

    I LOVE this, Lori. Thanks for sharing your 3-part cards. I am going to print them out.

  33. Hayley Gulab says:

    Lori, Beautiful 3 part cards :) Please can you send me a pdf file of them.
    Many thanks, Hayley

    Hi there.

    I love the cards. Can I get them in PDF?

    Thanks!

  35. Crystal says:

    Hi Lori,
    I love your cards. Can you please email me the pdf file the farms animal family cards.

    Thanks

  36. Tari says:

    Stumbled on your site while searching for 3-part cards. Thank you so much for sharing them. Now if I can only finish printing everything for my pre-K daughter before baby #2 arrives.

    • Lori says:

      Thanks Tari. I emailed you the pdf files in case you needed them. I know what you mean about printing everything out. It’s a full time job just preparing all of the materials!

  37. gr8fulmama says:

    HI Lori, would you resend me the pdf file for the farm animals once again? Hubby loaded word on my apple:)

    • Lori says:

      Bad news…I tried, but it was still unsuccessful. I forwarded you the error I received. Have you thought about getting a free yahoo email account? I know it will go through on yahoo.

  38. Elaine Friis says:

    Hi Lori, my husband has printed out for me, and I have laminated them and cut them out. I am looking forward to introduce this with Joshua, when he is ready. I love all the cute farm animal pictures that you have found. Thank you so much for sharing. I would like to eventually make a post on this and link it to your blog, if it is alright with you. If you ever do a series on wild animals, it would be great, if you share the template too :-)

    • Lori says:

      I’d love for you to link back to my blog, but will you do me a favor and not add the files to your post? I don’t own the images, so I’d rather keep them on the “Free Materials” page on my blog with the warning not to sell or use them for commercial use. Next time I have some free time I’ll make wild animal cards. That would be fun. Thanks for the idea. :)

  39. Elaine Friis says:

    Hi Lori, just out of curiosity, I would like to compare the picture quality with the pdf files. When you have a chance, I would be grateful, if you could send me the pdf files. Thanks very much in advance.

  40. Keri says:

    Lori – I found your sight looking for some Farm Animal 3-Part Cards. These are not exactly what I had in my mind when I was searching, but I LOVE them. I love how they have the mother, father, and baby and the names for them on the cards, what a wonderful idea! I would love it if you could send the PDF for these cards. Thanks so much!

    I also ‘liked’ your facebook page!

    • Lori says:

      Hi Keri! I’m so glad you found me. I’d love to send you the cards. I’m glad you like them. Thanks for liking me on facebook. I hope you’ll comment often so we can get to know each other. The best part of blogging is meeting other moms with the same goals. I’m off to send you the cards…

  41. Alicia says:

    Hi,

    I know I’m a bit late but just came across this. If you don’t mind, I’d love the pdf versions since the jpg printed out very small. thanks so much! These will come in handy when we visit my dad’s farm in August. Thanks!!

    • Lori says:

      Hi Alicia. It’s never too late around here. :) I’m glad you found my blog and hope you come back often. I’m emailing you the pdfs as I type this. They will go perfectly with your farm visit. We have a farm in the family too, which we LOVE to visit. Hope you stop by often.

  42. Rita says:

    These are fabulous cards. The grammar boxes have these, but just with words. I like these for younger children.

    Would you send me a pdf set, please?

    Trying to stay cool and having a relaxing summer.

    • Lori says:

      Hi Rita. I’d love to send you the pdf files. They are on their way. I hope you stay cool. It’s hard for us to do in this Texas heat. :)

    • Lori says:

      Rita, I’m so sorry, but I wasn’t able to send the files because they are larger than what your email account allows. I recommend signing up for a yahoo account and I’ll re-email them to you.

  43. I found your blog through the ‘Living Montessori Now’ page on facebook. I like the farm animal cards idea, nicely done.

    • Lori says:

      Thanks for stopping by and for the compliment on the Farm Animal Family Cards. I hope you come by and comment often. I love hearing from you guys. :)

    Can you email me the pdf files so I can print them out, thanks heaps

    • Lori says:

      Raelene, I’m sorry, but I wasn’t able to send you the files. They were larger than what your email account can receive. I recommend one of two options: 1) right clicking on the JPEG files in the post and saving them to your computer. Then, printing them out from your computer. 2) signing up for a free yahoo account and commenting again with your new email address. I have a yahoo account so I know it allows larger document sizes than other email accounts. Sorry again.

    Hi Lori,
    Your talent is amazing! I love the work you created. Is there a possibility you can send me the pdf so I can use it with my little one? We live in a small area with limited access to Montessori and I am sure she would love to enjoy the cards as well. Thank you for your commitment and dedication to the education of little ones.
