Best of January 2017

It’s February! The first month of 2017 is in the books, a clear indication that it’s time for me to show you the Best of January 2017 on Simple Fun for Kids!

Every month, I recap all of the new posts of the past month with a closer look at the three most popular new posts and my personal favorite.

January was ALL about the groundhog. I decided to write a short 7 day series of Groundhog Day printables, and my readers loved it! In fact, they loved it so much that the landing page for the series ended up being the most popular new post, with two posts from the series coming in as number 2 and number 3.

My Personal Favorite New Post of January 2017

My Rainbow Bears Listen and Cover Game was a big hit with 2-year-old N. He’s always really enjoyed playing with his rainbow bears, but I didn’t expect just how long his attention span ended up being for this game! Not only did he cover all 18 rainbow bears on the page with no sign of slowing down, he actually did it twice in a row. For those with shorter attention spans, I’ve included two pages with fewer bears. And if your toddler likes rolling a custom die, I’ve included a die template that allows you to make it a roll and cover game.
