Celebrate australia Day - January 26th

I was born in Australia, and grew up in Sydney - even though I have lived in the US for many years, a big part of my heart is Australian.  Naturally, I love to celebrate Australia Day with the Aussies. Here are a few ways you can celebrate, too.

This is a set of activity printables for young learners. Perfect for an introduction to Australia for children in the US, and to celebrate Australia Day for preschoolers and Pre-K in Australia. ("Harbor" and "color" use US spelling. Email me for a file with Australian spelling).  It has 52 pages.

See it here and here.  It is completely free to KidSparkz members.
