I love little tools to help make a subject I am teaching my kids a little more fun.  “Fun Fact Cards” by Sally Borrink is a  great tool to use with your elementary kids for any subject.  Fun Fact cards are a set of cards that have a fun fact on each one.  We are working on the Space set.  My 7 yr old son loves space and looks forward to picking out the next card that he wants to read.  For example, one of the facts was telling us that there is no wind on the moon, so the astronauts footprints can still be seen today on the moon.  When we visited the Museum of Flight recently, my 7 yr. old son remembered this fact.  Sally Borrink has fact cards for many different subjects, holidays and seasons. You buy them as a download and print them.  Even my older kids want to be part of learning the fun fact cards.  The older kids enjoyed the U.S. Presidents set.  Each card also has an illustration  to go along with the fact for the day.  You can find “Fun Fact Cards” at Sallieborrink.com .  Its a great way to enhance some of your history and science subjects or in helping to remember the significance of a holiday like President’s Day.
