Masters in Elementary Education
I’M KATELYN!
I’m the mompreneur behind A Pop of You. As a former elementary teacher and proud mom of three, I know just how important it is to make every day special for our little ones. That’s why I’ve created this colorful corner of the internet to bring a pop of creativity and joy into your family’s life.
At A Pop of You, I’m here to share everyday magic with fellow moms of toddlers and little kids like you! Drawing from my experience as a teacher, I create learning activities that engage fine motor skills, promote outdoor exploration, and embrace the joy of seasonal festivities. But here’s the best part: everything I share is designed to be achievable and won’t consume your entire day. We’re all busy moms, right?
MORNING BIN GUIDES
Keeping kids engaged without screens
As a certified teacher with a Masters in Elementary Education, I have thoughtfully designed each themed morning bin guides to keep young kids engaged without screens, providing busy parents with a smooth start to each day. Each guide includes weekly Overview Pages as well as Details Pages that map out morning bins with specific activities, full supply lists, step-by-step directions, and printables.
I know how hectic mornings can be with young kids, which is why I love using morning bins! Each bin is thoughtfully created with a sensory activity, a fine motor task, and a cognitive challenge, plus an interactive book recommendation. Themes like “A Day at the Zoo” or “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” make learning fun and engaging for kids, helping them explore, create, and discover through play. These bins offer a structured yet flexible start to the day, promoting sensory processing, fine motor skills, and cognitive development, all while fostering a love for learning. Plus, they keep my kids busy and happy while I tackle other morning tasks, reducing stress and setting a positive tone for the day. Welcome to Team Morning Bins!
