If you want to teach your kids about the value of money without handing over your hard-earned cash, head on over to PrintablePlayMoney.net and check out the new colorable dollar bills, coins and checks that I’ve added.

The printable play coins and bills are great as an art activity and can be filled in in any color or style. Kids can decorate the one and five dollar bills, as well as the nickel, dime, quarter, penny and dollar coins. They’re a lot of fun for playing pretend shop, too!

For children who are ready for a little more fake financial responsibility, I’ve also added kids’ checks. Teach them how to fill out a play money check with the black-and-white template, the pretty blue version or the fun orange one that’s decorated with cute penguins and stars. Who knew pretending to pay bills could be so fun?

There are 38 designs at PrintablePlayMoney.net that range from realistic bills to colorful cartoon currency. Everything is free to download and print as a PDF file.

Kids and grownups need motivation to get things done. That’s why my 16 new chore charts provide timed schedules, rewards and praise for success to keep daily life running smoothly.

The new classroom chore charts help students prepare for new activities with picture schedules for activities such as washing hands, lining up, going to lunch, taking a field trip, silent reading and doing art. There are also study charts with different subjects depicted in colorful graphics.

If your child requires a bit more motivation, there are reward chore charts, including a chore thermometer that tracks and praises success, and a reward punch card, where a child may receive a prize for doing homework or chores without being asked.

All 90 templates at ChoreCharts.net are free to download and print as a PDF. In some cases, an editable DOC file is available for $5 per design. The PDF can be printed and written on by hand, while the DOC version can be edited in a word processor, which is handy if you’d like to type in kids’ names and specific chores to print again and again. Or, laminate your chart and use a dry erase pen.

Learning something new can be tricky and often requires visual aids. That’s why a number of the 15 new flash cards at PrintableFlashCards.net are focused on language.

The new language flash cards help Romance or Germanic language-based speakers learn a new alphabet entirely, adding Japanese and Greek to the collection of Hebrew, Arabic and Runic alphabets already available.
The new science flash cards in this batch of additions are focused on health and the body in this batch. Some of the new additions include anatomical terms, birth terms and skin structure.

There are now more than 234 flash cards available at PrintableFlashCards.net in categories spanning science, math, music, literature and geography. They’re all free to print as PDFs, and they download instantly. Most of them are user-generated, so feel free to contribute your own knowledge and study material to the mix. Select card sets will be added to the site.

People who want to share, study for a big exam or simply test their knowledge can make and submit their own flash cards with my flash card maker. Just fill in the questions and answers and then print them out either four or six to a page.
