My friend Jenn, came up with the concept of inserting learning printables into baby photo blocks to use as teaching tools in her homeschool. It worked so well and had so many possibilities that she opened up a new site called Education Cubes.
By joining the Education Cubes Members Only Site, you will have access to over 100 sets of insert cards for your Education Cubes, which means that the learning possibilities are endless!~ Education Cubes
We’ve used Education Cubes for many hands-on learning games. This is our Feed the Cat game. Print out and assemble the cat (download under the Letter C). Roll the Education cube. Whatever number is on top, that is how many cupcakes you must feed the cat. This was one activity that we did during our Letter Cc week. I’ve shared a few more ways we’ve used these photo blocks in our homeschool (just click the link.)![Fractions (Reduced)[7]](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_8yAWcA-vEgM/TZkFg4dU4FI/AAAAAAAADJ4/uolz7RR3Ic0/s1600-h/Fractions%20%28Reduced%29%5B7%5D%5B4%5D.gif "Fractions (Reduced)[7]")

We use lots of printables, probably too many, so I like things I can re-use. I think mostly we use worksheets or coloring sheets though.

My little girl is 15 1/2 months old so, right now, we're not using printables yet. I really like the idea of the cubes and the hands-on aspect of it.
I am now following Education Cubes blog.
I have just started homeschooling my 4 yr old and 2 1/2 yr. old and we LOVE lapbooking and file folders as well as printables! I even bought a larger, laser-jet printer on Amazon so that I could print several worksheets & 'sets' off. I'm also going to be homeschooling my 5 older boys next fall, so yep… I LOVE printing things off for them to do!
Especially since I can laminate them with contact paper and reuse them!! These blocks look like A LOT of fun!
Yes, we use printables in our homeschool and we use all of the types you mentioned.
Lapbooking/notebooking is our favorite I'd say.

We mainly use printables for lapbooks and work/color sheets.

I use a lot of file folder games. I also print off anything I can that is hands on for the kids to do that relates to the topic I am teaching. I like printables that I can laminate and use again. I use some worksheets too. These cubes look like a great resource!

We use a lot of laminated worksheets. Currently we are using the preschool alpahbet curric from Confessions of a Homeschooler and my 2 young boys love it!
The look foward to their "home work" at night. :O)
we use lots of printables! Some are one-time use, like colouring pages…others, like letter tracing sheets, or things I can laminate, are ones we can reuse

I use a lot of printables in our homeschooling. We use them for notebooking, lapbooks, Pre-K activities, learning games, and more. Thanks for hosting this giveaway. I'd really like to receive one of the subscriptions!
I'd love to win this! I use a lot more printables than I did before. When we lived in Costa Rica it was harder. I felt I wanted things to be more hands on. Now I have a great printer, a child who can read and write – we do a lot of MOntessori 3 part cards and tracing worksheets. I think both of my kids would love the education cubes because they like to throw and learn while playing.

How cute! We actually don't use a lot of printables or workbooks. I like a living book approach. With math, though, my kids love worksheets. Printables are nice supplement!

We have a lot of printables that we like. Story sequencing, tracing sheets, 'math' games are some of our favorites at this time.
I use printables, hands on activities and lots of silly songs. A membership to Education Cubes would be a blessing. My eyes lit up when I saw all the site had to offer and how much I would be able to use in my classroom. The amount of time it could save – WOW!

My four year old LOVES worksheets. I try not to give him too many because I don't want him to get burned out. So, I am always looking for ideas to mix up activities and learning. Would love to win the education cubes membership. Thanks for the opportunity!

My kids love lapbooking, but they're too young to do it by themselves. I prefer worksheets, because they're easy for me to print while taking care of the baby.

We use a couple worksheets or coloring pages a week. If I can I try and reuse them by placing them in a plastic protector and having him circle, trace, write, etc on that. If it's a coloring sheet obviously I'll just let him color it and hang it on the fridge for Daddy to make a fuss over when he gets home.

My oldest is 33 months right now and we use a lot of printables. I try to keep the worksheets to a minimum at this age and he isn't much of a colorer, but we do a lot of puzzles, games, & lapbooking type stuff. I guess I'd say the lapbooking sort of things are our favorite.

I love printables but like to reuse them- so things that I can laminate and preserve are my favorite!!
We love lapbooks – but mostly we are using a lot of printable worksheets that can be turned into hands on activities also – like coloring sheets that can be transformed into puzzles or color by number – and anything that can be cut and glued! :^)

I am currently a pre-k teacher and next year will be homeschooling my tow kiddo's (kinder and first). I do use printables but try to make them less "worksheety"
Sometimes I enlarge, cut, paste…just get creative to make it less boring and more fun! I have also learned by simply putting a printable in a sleeve, the interest level of the children is immediately increased! I plan to use both notebooking and lapbooking in my homeschool approach.
We use a lot of things to put into journals, a lot of lapbook items, and worksheets. I'd never seen these cubes before your posts, and they are such a good idea! I am now following Education Cubes as well, Thanks!
We use lots of printables and love some more interactive learning tools like education Cubes.
