Pinterest LinkUP for Early Childhood Education Pinners

photo of: The GREAT "ECE Pinners" LinkUP hosted by: RainbowsWithinReach

Last Saturday I launched what can now be described as a Pinterest Party Series. This week's installment is to focus on finding 'pinteresting-people' to follow within the sub-set of the ECE (Early Childhood Education) field. In my book that counts as ANYone whose Pinterest board collections have a passion for young children. 

Certainly that includes the likes of Early Childhood Educators, Preschool People, Early Ed Bloggers, Mommy Bloggers and PARENTS pinning on behalf of finding great ideas for their own children. You are all welcome to join the fun. We certainly won't be unhappy to have some kinder-people in the list -- though you are scheduled to have your own LINK-UP next week! (Mark your calendars.)

The 'rules' are simple! This is a LinkUP. We want your DIRECT LINK TO YOUR PINBOARD COLLECTION! (Does it seem like I'm shouting?) Last week many folks misunderstood, or are so used to linking up their blogs that they just forgot. You may choose to link one board or your entire set -- totally up to you. 

Again: LINK YOUR PINBOARD 'Collection' URL below!!
I will delete any blog links -- as this concept is to get our Pinterest finds + 'finders' all pulled together into one spot. 

*****Needless to say, it would help spread the word, if you would 'pin' the image above just as soon as you linkUP! 

*****Even more delightful would be if you bloggers would write a post about our getting organized + add the html code for this list and broadcast to your readers. 

Part #1: Did you see last weeks list of 500+ EDU-pinners?  Ton of resources!

P.S. Have you heard that I opened a Teacher's Pay Teachers 'shop'...... I'm so excited and have my FIRST digital download project ready for you to read all about. It includes an Mp3 of my song "Pollywog" with 5 pages of original download-able full color illustrations and 20 pages of additional support materials. To see all of the goodies, including a YouTube video of the song -- click back to this earlier post.  This is my first project and my first TpT sale. Take advantage of this great deal!

  4. I just saw you yesterday at Concordia! I was right in the front row. I linked up my preschool board. Sometimes I feel like I use a "Pinterest Curriculum" in my classroom! I just get so many ideas from there! Thanks for hosting this great link up.

  17. I love that you are putting together these pinterest linky parties! The first one was awesome. And, this one is terrific too for ECE. I can hardly wait for the Kindergarten pinterest linky party. Will you be making it a Pre-K and Kinder party?

    I HOPE you will make it a BLOGHOP this time for the K party instead of just a link. Thanks again for putting these together.

    1. Yes yes yes!!! The kindergarten hop I DID remember to select the proper category and so the bloghop html code is right there -- at the bottom. I set this one up in the car and was obviously distracted. If you want the code for this one, just email me and I'm MORE than happy to share it.
