Super simple learning ideas for kids!
Make counting fun! Keeping toddlers and preschoolers engaged while learning is easy to do with activities like our Pumpkin Seed Window Stickers! My preschoolers love to play on vertical surfaces. With reusable stickers, they can play over and over again while working on counting, strengthening fine motor muscles, and practicing 1:1 correspondence. Pumpkin Seed Window Stickers The supplies for this activity are so simple! You
This week it was time to change up the sensory area of my preschool classroom. We had moved on from all of our spider fun (check it out here!) and focusing more on Halloween fun! I put together our simple Black Bat Sensory Bin with just a few supplies. My preschoolers have been loving making bat soup, counting bats, and of course, running their hands
Easy peasy spider activity! A spur of the moment activity turned into a favorite learning center in preschool last week. I don’t know if it was because the activity was so simple or because it included sticky paper, but my preschoolers continued to go back and play again and again! Practice color matching and strengthen fine motor skills with these fun {and reusable!} sticky spiders!
I am huge fan of learning without worksheets. There are so many ways that young children, especially preschoolers, can learn essential skills without worksheets and flash cards. Our Dinosaur Letter Tracing for preschoolers busy bag is a great example of this! Practice letter formation, letter recognition, and even letter sounds without lifting a pencil. Young children will stay engaged during this playful activity and you may
We are currently obsessed with all things SPIDER in my preschool classroom! My preschoolers can just about recite Eric Carle’s, The Very Busy Spider from memory because we have read it so many times. They love helping me read it, and act exhausted as they help me read that the spider was “very busy spinning her web” throughout the story. To go along with the
Messy play is always so much fun with preschoolers! I find that when our sensory play is a little out of the box and intriguing, more of my preschoolers who may normally shy away from getting messy, join in. Our pigs in the mud sensory bin was super messy, but so easy to set up! It also allowed my preschoolers to help, which they loved.
Corn on the farm! Whether you’re walking through a maze at the pumpkin patch, decorating with cornstalks, or painting with it, corn is everywhere at this time of the year! If you’re anything like me, you’ve got a stash of deer corn feed in your fall storage bins waiting to be played with. The bigger corn pieces were perfect for my preschoolers while we worked
Come have some fun down on the farm with our colorful pig bottoms! I loved how simple this activity was to put together. My preschoolers loved how silly it was! Somehow pigs were rolling around in the mud and their tails fell off. Completely unbelievable, but to my 3 year-olds, they giggled and then got right to work putting the tails back on the colorful
The best part of an apple theme in preschool is baking with apples! And when it comes to baking, my preschoolers are all in! The apple sauce muffins that we made were super kid-friendly and easy enough for my 3 year-olds to help during each step of the recipe. The muffins were delicious too!

Sensory bottles can be used in so many different ways with toddlers and preschoolers! In my classroom, sensory bottles are used for calming down, exploring, science, literacy, math, and as an extension to what we are learning about! Our 5 Little Pumpkins sensory bottle goes perfectly with the fall theme and the classic children’s poem that we learn each year. This sensory bottle is super
