Everything Old is New Again


Drawing on my experience in teaching pysanky to kids since 1991, I've been creating free student activity sheets that are being used in classrooms everywhere. Teachers and students alike have been my inspiration, as has my playful mascot Guy Kistka (created by artist and teacher Marcia Moroz).

Hi, I'm Guy Kistka
After accumulating several of these teaching aids in three languages (English, French and Ukrainian) it became obvious to me that they should be combined into one handy book—hence the publishing of Pysanky 4 Fun : A Collection of Trilingual Activities 4 Kids, ISBN 978-1-897253-46-5.
This book is free and can be downloaded from www.babasbeeswax.com.

The pages in Pysanky 4 Fun : A Collection of Trilingual Activities 4 Kids are different from those in Pysanky on Paper : An ActivityBook for Children (Baba’s Beeswax 1997, ISBN 978-0-9681922-0-7), and include drawing, colouring, word search, writing and puzzle activities.

Let me know how you are using these in the classroom, or with your kids or grandkids.

  1. These free trilingual resources were a huge hit in school workshops this month for teachers and kids alike. They were filled in and coloured, talked about and discussed, and kids took them home with their pysanky for Spring Break. Our mascot Guy Kistka in this photo shares the contents of activity sheets for drawing, word search, crossword puzzle, colouring, designing and more. Pysanky 4 Fun : A Collection of Trilingual Activity Sheets was created by kids' author Joan Brander and published by Baba's Beeswax. Download or order your own FREE copy from our website www.babasbeeswax.com and show us the fun you can have!
