A curated collection of free printable resources for teachers and educators 

I was commenting on a post in a casual and relief teacher Facebook group about some ideas for a new to preschool teacher. Many suggestions offered were for printable resources.  I tried to keep my suggestions a bit more play based.  I also noticed that there was many references for free downloads from a company of ill-repute*.

So I thought I would gather some of the wonderful resources I have been using in my play-based preschool classroom and put them all together here in a handy dandy easily accessible resource! This service to be a collection for me, but also a useful link to share when the question is asked again! 

Please keep in mind that these are all free for personal use - which means, you can use them in your home or teaching and learning environments, but you may not sell or distribute them otherwise.

Picklebums

Kate was once upon a time a preschool teacher. She started a family and used her knowledge and expertise as a teacher to support her teaching her children at home - because let's face it, teaching is a vocation and not something you easily put to the side! This vocation has led to a blog and some amazing resources that I have been using in my own classroom. I've linked a few of my favourites below. There is also an online store if you'd like to download some of her products which you can find here.

You Clever Monkey 

Nichole is the clever genius behind You Clever Monkey. She couldn't find what she needed and wanted, so like many of us she made them herself. She went one step further though and blogged and shared and now has a wonderful site where you can access her mad genius yourself! Here are some of the freebies I've used myself, plus a link to the entire collection. There is also a paid collection and I have used many of her designs in my time teaching K-2.

The Devil is in the Detail ... 

* Sparklebox. The issue with the aforementioned business is that it is owned by a twice convicted pedophile and that isn't ok with me. He still draws income from the company.  You can look up all the details online including the registered address of the business which is his home - and you can see how rather large it is, so he's doing very well from advertising dollars. Choose where you spend your free clicks. They may not charge, but the cost is through traffic and eye balls on advertisements and link clicks.
