Super simple learning ideas for kids!
We cannot get enough of super simple, super fun Christmas activities in preschool lately! There are so many activities that I see that I would love to try, but I just cannot get into activities that take too much input from the teacher’s end and not enough from the actual preschooler. Not to mention some of those activities take forever to plan and prep. Instead,
Before we know it, the first day of school will be here! And it doesn’t matter if the first day of school happens at home, or if it happens in the classroom, there is always a first day. Take a minute out of your morning and grab a photo or 2 with the free printable first day of school signs. First day photos make great
Before we know it, cooler weather will be here! I look forward to fall every year, even if it doesn’t get as cool where we live as other places. It’s still the start to a fun learning season!

And you’ve got to reach them all in developmentally appropriate ways. So how
The ocean and the beach are the perfect themes to teach during summer themes. The beach is one of my favorite places to be. I don’t know if it’s the ocean breeze, the sun, or the sand on my feet, but bringing the ocean into learning is so much fun! Our printable ocean emergent reader goes perfectly with all things summer and under the sea.
The summer months do not mean it’s time to sit around and do nothing. Preschoolers still want to have fun! And yes, swimming in the pool or spending the day at the zoo or beach is what I would consider a perfect summer day, but organized play and learn activities can easily be added to the schedule too! Learning activities can happen in the classroom
It is almost the end of the school year and my preschoolers are rocking CVC words. I don’t know if it’s because we have been also working on rhyming skills or all of the time spent on stretching out words and letter sounds has finally started clicking, but I am just loving it! Our CVC cookie words activity is the perfect starting point for preschoolers
Reality hits tomorrow. Spring break is officially over for us, so it’s back to making school lunches, homework, and stricter bedtimes in my house. We all know how that feels to have to get back into the daily grind, when all you want to do is stay in your pajamas all day. Teaching preschoolers adds another dimension to coming back after a break. Some are
One of our favorite themes is winter! We definitely don’t get snow where we live, but pretend snow can be just as fun. And activities and books about the animals that live in the cold is a great way to introduce nonfiction learning too. My preschoolers can tell you so many facts about penguins right now.
