  1. I just wanted to clarify that Oopsey Daisy actually created that Birthday Card, I just featured it on my "Show and Share" Saturday.

    It is not my original idea and should be credited to http://oopsey-daisy.blogspot.com/2010/07/transportation-card.html

    I do, however, have lots of transportation ideas here: http://www.icanteachmychild.com/p/thematic-units.html
