Super simple learning ideas for kids!
The beginning of the school year can be hard to know what kind of activities will work with your new group of preschoolers while trying to establish procedures, routines, and introduce learning centers. Adding learning activities with easy to follow directions helps you assess early learning skills, and allows your preschoolers to be successful and engaged. Our crayon color matching clip cards work well at
Preschoolers are all about learning those big kid skills. But we all know that there are so many steps needed to really master a skill. A preschooler cannot just sit down at a table and write her name. She would first need to learn how to hold a pencil, strengthen her fine motor, hand, and wrist muscles to form the letters, and have the control
It doesn’t matter what time of year it is, fine motor games, activities, and learning ideas are perfect for preschoolers!

My preschoolers have always loved learning spider facts, and there are so many math and creative ideas and activities that can go along with a spider theme. Our spider web number play dough learning activity brings numbers and counting skills together with fine motor skills, and
One of my favorite things to do while at the beach is to watch the crabs scurry from hole to hole in the sand. It is like they are dancing as they try to make sure it is safe to move out of their protective hole. Crabs are interesting animals, and if your preschoolers are anything like the little kids at the beach, they love
There is something about cupcakes at Valentine’s Day that just make me so happy! I do not think I am a huge box of chocolates kind of person. Biting into unknown flavors of chocolates is not exactly my favorite thing. But a cupcake with chocolate frosting (yum!) and some decorative heart sprinkles is right up my alley for sure! This is why I am loving
There are so many ways for preschoolers to learn and play in a tray. Earlier this school year, we chatted about how to keep play in the tray for independent activities through email (want to join in the conversation?). Our new penguins in the snow fine motor tray is just another fun winter themed activity for toddlers and preschoolers to work on counting skills, fine
January is the time of year when it gets cold outside and if you are lucky, snow falls from the sky! The learning theme turns to snow, snowmen, ice…and all things cold.
