Looking for some resources

I'm looking for some resources without much prep time for teaching the following at K-2 level:

1. measuring with nonstandard and standard units
2. telling time
3. indentifying and sorting U.S. coins
4. subtraction
5. artistic concepts and techniques.

Anything you can throw at me would be great
- online work
- online printables
- workbooks
- websites, books, blogs, etc.

I have offered to help a couple students over their break on these topics. I thought some folks here might have some good stuff bookmarked.

TIA!

For subtraction, I'd get the game Countdown. Easy, fun, and teaches it easily.

Try this page for website recommendations for that age group - math, art, science. I know I tout her constantly, but she's a well of information.

Except for artistic concepts, Singapore covers those. It's cheap.

I really like the website homeschoolmath.net. You can make your own randomly-generated worksheets to really easily customize to your child's level. And it's free.

Enchantedlearning.com also has a lot of worksheets in these areas.

We also like to do "food math" for subtraction - lay out 5 raisins (or whatever), take one away, see how many are left, etc.

There are some good ones among the annotated links I've accumulated on arts, crafts, and music.

And you can find some helpful ideas among tthese links to articles and web pages on math.

This has great ideas--keep in mind though you only get to look at three free!

Also, for measurement equivalents, I get out various containers:
Pint, quart, gallon, and a one cup. We use water and make a chart.
