My kiddos loved file folder games when they were little. They were a fun way to learn, and and easy activity for them to do on their own while I was working with another child.

File folder games are simple to make: cut out the printables, glue them to a colorful folder, and play! If you would like your games to last longer, the folders and pieces for extra durability. Hot glue a storage baggie to the back of the folder to store all of the little pieces.
These lovely sites are filled with free file folder games. Have fun!

Welcome to Textiles!

Hi, I'm Jennifer Harris. I'm Deputy Director at the Whitworth Art Gallery, which is part of The University of Manchester. My special area at the Gallery is Textiles. I take care of the collection of textiles that we hold there and organise exhibitions about textiles.

How did I get into Textiles?

When I was at school history was always one of my favourite subjects, and I was particularly interested in the history of everyday things - the clothes that people wear and what their houses looked like. So I then went on to study the history of art and design at university. I like the fact that textiles surround us from the moment we are born to the day that we die, and that all the world's different cultures make use of them.

The Textile Collection at The Whitworth Art Gallery

We have a huge collection of textiles at the Whitworth Art Gallery that has been there since the Gallery first opened over a century ago, in 1890. It is one of the most important collections in Europe. There are more than 16,500 objects and the collection is still growing! We buy textiles from artists and designers working today and members of the public sometimes present us with precious textiles that they've inherited or collected. There are textiles from all over the world, from all five continents, and the oldest textiles date from Roman times.

Careers in Textiles

Fashion and textiles is one of the largest industries in the country so there are lots of different careers in this area. The University of Manchester has textile scientists and textile designers as well as textile historians like me. Enjoy finding out lots more about textiles in this section of the Children's University of Manchester

No one knows where puppetry first began
though most scholars seem to agree puppetry as an art form
started in China with the introduction of the shadow puppet.
However, that is only one particular kind of puppet
and one kind of puppetry.
Puppetry to me, seems to have existed in many other countries,
in many other art forms,
long before the formal introduction
of the shadow puppet and shadow theater in China.

It seems to me, man has always been interested in creating
and controlling other worlds,
as well as in trying to define his own.
Puppetry, to me, is an extension of one's self.
It may be motivated by the need to explain,
explore, embrace or critique the human condition.
It is still, one of the safest ways to act out, act up,
entertain, educate, commiserate, wonder out loud,
unburden yourself or release your feelings.
I have used it, along with my story telling to fulfill my need
to see the good guys win and justice done.
It has always been both a sword and a shield to me.
It is my armor in a world of frustrations
and disappointments, when indeed,
the bad hats seem to be ahead in this game,
we call Life.
In short, I have found Puppet Theater to be
a wonderful place to find peace of mind and spirit.

What Is A Puppet?
What is a puppet? A figure whose movements are controlled by someone through, strings, rods, or hand movements. Some of the earliest kinds of puppets were tribal ritual masks with hinged jaws or jointed skulls used in religious ceremonies. Puppets seemed to have evolved from these masks to doll like figures with moving limbs. Native American Indians used puppets in their corn festivals and ceremonial dances.
Egyptians made jointed puppets from terra cotta. Puppet theater is mentioned in both Aristotle
and Plato's writings however, no specific details are given regarding the art.
It suffices to say puppets have been a part of man's history. China made shadow puppets from stretched donkey skins, dried sheep skin, water buffaloes, pigs, or fish. Shadow puppets are translucent figures colored in with paints. These figures are placed in front of a screen with light passing through it. The shadow of the figures appear clearly to the audience on the other side. They usually have three rods or strings attached to them. The puppeteer uses one hand to control the rod attached to the neck and the other hand to control the rods attached to its wrists.

The Turkish puppeteers added waist movement to their shadow puppets and began controlling rod arm movements from the side, rather than the bottom, as the Chinese had done. Three dimensional rod puppets evolved from shadow puppets. So, you can see, many countries were introducing operational control changes to existing known forms of puppets and yet, developing different kinds of puppets, at relatively the same time. Puppetry has survived due to the efforts of all the world's puppeteers through the ages. When Rome was overrun by barbarians and puppet theater vanished, it was the traveling puppeteers who kept the art and the craft alive. Troupes of puppeteers, jesters, jugglers and entertainers breathed new life into the world's tales and histories,
as they moved from place to place and puppets found a home in folk art.

In The Middle Ages the Christian Church used puppets to spread church doctrine.
Monks and priests were the puppeteers.

The Nativity,the story of the birth of Jesus, was a favorite play. Generally, marionettes, small jointed figures operated with strings, were used to enact the story. The name Marionette , meaning "Little Mary" may have come from the figure of The Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus, in the telling of the Nativity story. It may also have come from the word marotte
meaning fool's scepter. In the fourteenth or fifteenth century puppeteers began to explore themes other than religious ones. A comedic influence began to emerge. The Church decided puppets were no longer suitable for their teaching. However, puppet theater found a new home in the streets and fairs of the working class. By the sixteenth century, puppet theaters existed all over Europe. Marionette operas were popular. In the seventeenth century, hand puppets,figures with heads and a body of cloth which fit over the puppeteers hand, became popular. They were easier to operate, cheaper to make and more mobile. Shows could be given from the back of wagons and from small portable stages. Puppet characters like Punch and Judy became popular and shows centering around local politics became common. These puppets could comment on things the masses could not. Puppets have been used by storytellers to illuminate and entertain for centuries.
In the United States, we have seen Howdy Doody,(marionette), Kukla, Fran and Ollie, (hand puppets), Mr. Rogers, Paul Winchell and Jerry Mahoney,(ventriloquist dummy, doll like figures with movable mouths and other options like movable heads, eyes, eye lids and arms), Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy, (ventriloquist dummy), Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop, (hand puppet), and Jim Hensen's Muppets, (rod puppets), brought to life. These puppeteers and their creations continue to educate and entertain.
The puppeteer breathes life into his creations and we believe in them, all bound together with the magic that is puppet theater.

Interesting range of podcasts for children - stories, music, general knowledge

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text

My son's podcast addiction began when he was 2, with "The Gingerbread Man."

He was hooked at first listen and asked to hear it constantly. Eventually, I could recite the entire story, produced by Stories Podcast, along with the host, copying her intonations for the different voices. Our "Gingerbread Man" period peaked when my son was sick, and the only thing that could calm him down at 3 a.m. was listening to the podcast. I sat by his bed with phone in hand, and we listened over and over again, until he fell asleep.

My son is now 6, and fortunately, his taste in podcasts has expanded. He has many favorite shows and asks for episodes by name. It's not a coincidence that he's a dedicated podcast listener. His dad and I co-host "Tumble Science Podcast for Kids," which we began producing just a few months after he was born. From this perspective, I've seen (and heard) the space grow from a handful of audio experiments to a big buffet of listening choices.

That's great news, because once kids get into podcasts, theyreally get into them. A new study from the podcast "Brains On!" and the Science Museum of Minnesota of kids 3 to 17 and adults age 18 and over has found that 73 percent of listeners have heard an episode more than once. The study found that kids' podcasts are a shared listening experience for kids and parents. Podcasts become part of the family routine, with the car the most popular place to listen.

All you need is a fresh playlist of shows that both you and your little one enjoy. I put together this list of great shows for kids ages 2 through 6 and their caretakers. They are all available free on nearly any podcast app.

" Circle Round " - Folk tales from around the world, told with the help of celebrity readers.

" Stories Podcast " - A combination of classic children's stories and original tales.

" Molly of Denali " - An eight-episode serialized narrative, based on the PBS Kids series.

" Story Pirates " - Stories written by kids are woven into a narrative about a musical-theater company's magical misadventures.

" What If World " - The improvisational storyteller Mr. Eric tells fantastic tales based on "What if?" questions submitted by listeners.

" Girl Tales " - Feminist fairy tales written and performed by playwrights and actors.

" Calm Kids Podcast " - Two sisters, Lucie and Charlotte (ages 11 and 8), share their original stories.

" Aaron's World " - Aaron, a dinosaur lover, started this podcast when he was a kid to share dinosaur facts. It grew into a narrative adventure series that ran for five years.

" But Why? " - The public radio host Jane Lindholm helps answer kids' most burning questions.

" Earth Rangers " - A sound-rich dive into nature and animal science, guided by Ranger Emma.

" Wow in the World " - Guy Raz and Mindy Thomas, radio and podcast stars, serve up science news with a heavy dose of silliness.

" Smash Boom Best " - This debate show pits two awesome things against each other, encouraging listeners to choose their own winner.

" Animal Sound Safari " - This Australian podcast travels in a Magic School Bus-style "safari mobile" to discover animals around the world.

" Pants on Fire " - Kids are challenged to "spot the liar" on this game show, co-hosted by a robot.
MEDITATION
" Soundwalks " - Each short episode is a guided meditation through beautiful soundscapes.

" Bedtime Explorers " - Settle down for the night with stories of magical expeditions.

" Peace Out " - This calming podcast teaches meditation and self-regulation through stories.
MUSIC
" Ear Snacks " - The children's musicians Andrew & Polly explore different themes through songs and interviews.

" Noodle Loaf " - A clever interactive music podcast that features echo songs, musical challenges and a kids' choir that anyone can join.

" The Music Box " - Each episode is a lesson about a musical concept featuring interactive activities.

" Classical Kids Storytime " - A sneaky way to introduce your kids to classical music, with the help of children's stories like Hansel and Gretel.

" Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child " - An hourlong show that will introduce the family to the best in kids' music, every week.

There's a lot more out there, and much more to come. So how can you help your young children keep their podcast playlist fresh and expanding?

The best way to discover new shows is through the shows that you already love. Often, podcasts will swap episodes, collaborate on special features or sponsor ads on each others' shows. This allows young kids to participate in discovering new shows. Apple Podcasts also features a curated collection called "Shows for Kids," which is updated periodically.

If you listen on your own app, I recommend making a unique playlist for your kids so you can always find their favorite shows quickly.

But as with podcasts for adults, word of mouth is still the tried and true discovery method. Ask your parent friends if they've heard about podcasts for kids, share your favorites and discover new shows together.
