Cross-Curricular Learning with Katie Sausage: Stories, Crafts, Music, Printables & Videos

Cross-curricular learning is an educational approach that blends multiple subjects into one meaningful, fun, and connected experience. Instead of treating maths, science, literacy, or geography as separate boxes, this method encourages children to see how subjects overlap in the real world.

At Katie Sausage, we bring this idea to life through stories, crafts, music, free printables, and videos. By following Katie Sausage the travelling dachshund on her global adventures, children don’t just learn about countries, cultures, and values — they experience them in creative, hands-on ways.

Why Cross-Curricular Learning Matters for Kids

When children learn through Katie Sausage’s activities, they’re engaging in far more than a single lesson. They’re developing whole sets of skills that stick with them long after the activity ends.

Key benefits include:

• 🐾 Critical thinking: Puzzles, stories, and world map activities encourage children to connect history, geography, and art.

• 🐾 Increased motivation: Singing along to Katie's in the Outback or Aussie Animal Moves makes learning about Australia fun and memorable.

• 🐾 Better retention: Crafts like making lanterns, colouring cultural landmarks, or cutting out foreign currency help reinforce knowledge.

• 🐾 Transferable skills: Collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving naturally emerge through Katie’s projects.

Katie Sausage’s printables, craft packs and items from the Katie Online Shop are designed to help kids see the bigger picture — for example a page in the Katie Sausage passport becomes geography + literacy + cultural awareness all in one activity.

How Katie Sausage Creates Cross-Curricular Connections

Our resources are designed to integrate seamlessly across school subjects, homeschooling, or play-based learning at home:

• Stories (Literacy + Geography): Katie’s travel tales introduce new vocabulary, explore landmarks, and discuss traditions.

• Crafts (Art + History + Fine Motor Skills): Children can make cultural crafts like a boomerang, a mask, or model monuments to connect with what they’ve read.

• Music (Performing Arts + Language + Science): Songs such as Keep the Oceans Clean & Blue mix rhythm and rhyme with environmental awareness.

• Printables (Maths + Literacy + Culture): Currency cut-outs, jigsaws, and recipe cards make numeracy and literacy hands-on.

• Videos (Media + Inquiry + Emotional Connection): YouTube videos and shorts of Katie exploring Big Ben or dancing in lavender fields bring learning to life visually.

This creates a 360° learning experience that is both playful and educational.
