Sound the alarm. Slide down the pole. Grab your gear. We’re ready to roll with these free free firefighter birthday party printables.

This year we are planning a superhero themed party for our son, which is very odd, since last year, we had a firefighter birthday party for him and I swore I wasn’t going to throw him a big party again. I have always said, I’m not a big birthday party mom. So, here we are, planning a party for our little guy and I felt the need to share how awesome his 3rd birthday party was.

First, it was a super inexpensive party. We called our local fire department and scheduled a FREE tour, then had some friends back to our house for our quaint little firefighter birthday party.

At home, I set up the firefighters snack bar with some $5 pizzas from Little Caesars. Luckily, for November the weather was amazing and we were able to let the kids play outside. Our backyard was not even close to being done, but because it was a party full of boys the large amount of dirt was perfect for 3 and 4 year-old boys.

We filled up firefighter hats that we picked up off of Amazon.com with some fun little things like stickers and mini coloring books and gave them away to each of the boys. At the fire station, they gave all the kids pencils and safety handouts. For the snack bar, we set up we had fire truck tires (chocolate mini donuts), water hoses (red vines), life savers (literally life savers candy), match sticks (stick pretzels), “stop, drop, and tootsie rolls” (tootsie rolls and lollipops), fire balls (the candy), fire hydrants (juice boxes) and fire house poles (cheese sticks). Finally, I made cupcakes and let the kids sprinkle sugar all over them.

Firefighter Birthday Party

And that was it. It was a very low budget and easy party to set up. We had a blast and we hope you will enjoy the firefighter birthday party printables we’ve included with this post to throw your own firefighter party.

We hope these printable firefighter birthday party printables make planning a firefighter-themed birthday party much more creative and a lot easier.

Download our free printable Advent calendar from Windy Pinwheel

Do you remember those cardboard advent calendars when you were a kid? Each door opened up and a piece of chocolate was inside. My grandmother gave me one every year. I never really ate the candy, but loved opening the doors in our countdown to Christmas. Today, in our world with Pinterest, crafty moms and dads have stepped up their game and now advent calendars are no longer just a little cardboard door with chocolate.

My good friend Morgann owns Adisten’s Closet (check it out, she makes pretty amazing stuff) and created these super cute Advent calendars last year. So we decided to step up our game this year too! In the interest of making holiday memories and not buying dollar store junk or a bunch of candy, we did a lot of Pinteresting and found so many great ideas and because we love our readers we thought we would share these with you. So here they are; our countdown to Christmas activity printable Advent calendar.

We hope you and your family enjoy the memories and please comment below with other ideas you have and we will add to our advent calendar printables over time.

Download our 30 free printable reading bookmarks to mix and match (front and back) for your child.

Part of my job as an educator is to teach literacy skills and because of my strong belief that literacy is the foundation for nearly everything we do in life (the ability to speak, listen, read, and write are all essential in daily life), I do my best to instill a love for literacy in our household. We read to our kids every night. We have more books than toys (well maybe not, but perhaps nearly equal). I can’t stop myself from buying them new books. We also try to have conversations with the entire family around the dinner table every night. While it’s not like a sitcom in our house every night, we do our best.

We began reading chapter books to our five year-old daughter about a year ago and she recently discovered how fun they can be (and frankly, they are fun for us as parents too). A couple of years ago, I made Dr. Seuss themed bookmarks for a friend’s Kindergarten class (she’s a teacher as well) and then shared them with our daughter’s preschool class last March. I hosted them for you to download my other site, Hullabaloo Stories.

Last week, a very excited Kindergartner (our five year-old) asked if I could make some new printable reading bookmarks for her new chapter books. I guess she needs a little variety… or maybe she will be like me and have several books going at the same time. Just for her, I decided it would be fun to find cool quotes about reading and make them with her favorite polka dots.

We wanted to share these printable reading bookmarks with you too… our readers, because we hope you too want to help encourage a love for reading in your household and children’s classroom.

My husband also decided to join in the fun and create some bookmarks to add to the collection. He found some fantastic quotes from some notable children’s books. We hope you like all that these free printable reading bookmarks as a set has to offer.

Tip: The printable reading bookmarks should be printed and paired, front and back, to form a two-sided bookmark and, if possible, we recommend you laminate the bookmarks to help them to hold up against the wear and tear a kid can subject them to. We use the Xyron Cold Seal Laminator. Enjoy…

Share these printable reading bookmarks with your friends

Start your child’s academic year off right with our free Back to School printable lunch box love notes.

It is that time of year again… the smell of freshly sharpened pencils and erasers is in the air. The mornings are beginning to become a little crisp and the sounds of students heading off to school with their brand new backpacks is filling my heart with happiness. I have always said that you can spot a teacher a mile away because they are the people getting excited in the stores when all the school supplies come out and fill the aisles. I am one of those people. This year, our daughter, the oldest in our household, started Kindergarten and I am sure I was more excited than anyone else about school in our family.

In honor of my favorite time of year, “Back to School” we are thrilled to share our September Back to School printable lunch box love notes…
