Who Did It Printables

Deductive reasoning is a super important skill of logic for kids to learn, but it’s not that easy to practice. It involves drawing logical conclusions based on the evidence or general ideas. One great way to practice with kids is by solving mysteries, using clues to figure out who did the crime.

If your kids can read (or you can read the clues to them) this set of who did it printables from Miniature Masterminds is fun for kids to use individually or in small groups.

The pages show different line ups of people and kids can use the clues to exclude people and figure out who did it.

For example one game card says the criminal was a short man with orange hair and there was a scrap of blue fabric found at the scene (among other clues). Using that information the kids can eliminate the other suspects until they have found the person who did it.

This printable set includes six lineups kids can solve.

There’s also a second game included with a bunch of different people you can cut out and make into cards. Two or more kids can play this game, where each kid gets a card with a person on it and they ask each other questions trying to find out which character they have.

If you’re playing with a small group, the person who guesses correctly gets to keep the card of the character they guessed, and the person with the most cards at the end wins. For larger groups you can play so that a person is out when their character is guessed, and the last person standing wins.

There’s also a printable clue page for kids to take notes on as they try to formulate their guesses.

These guessing games are a lot of fun for kids and improve their logical reasoning skills. You can download the printable pack for free from Miniature Masterminds.

Remembrance Day (marked as Veterans Day in the United States) is Nov. 11, and it marks the end of hostilities in World War I. Poppies are a traditional symbol of the day because it is said they were the first flower to grow again on the battlefields, which inspired a famous poem. Let’s check out some poppy crafts you can make with your kids as part of a World War I unit or for Remembrance Day.

This pretty poppy craft from Krokotak just requires the printable, some crayons, scissors and glue. The printable includes the center of the flower and kids can draw the outside as well as adding stem.

Glued to My Crafts has a printable for a torn paper poppy, or you could color or paint this one as well.

Use torn or cut pieces of paper to make these poppy suncatchers from Red Ted Art.

Happy Hooligans has a bunch of great poppy crafts but I particularly like the painted rocks and easy paper plate poppy.

Crafty Morning has a cute poppy craft made with fingerprints, which is quick and easy to do with kids of any age.

Older kids and adults can make these folded paper poppies from Chica and Jo, but they do involve hot glue and floral wire, which can be sharp, so it’s not for young kids. An easier paper poppy that only calls for regular craft glue can be found at Sugar Spice and Glitter. This one also has a printable template to make it easier.

These felt poppies from One Little Project also use a glue gun and a sewing needle, but they’re so pretty I couldn’t resist sharing them for older kids. Add a pipe cleaner stem or turn them into pins to wear for remembrance events. Check out their coffee filter poppy craft for a great option for younger kids.
