Super simple learning ideas for kids!
Building fine motor skills can be so fun for preschoolers and toddlers! Their little fingers are getting ready to write letters, words, and draw detailed pictures. Developing and strengthening fine motor muscles while little learners are young, set them up for success throughout their early school years. The Bead Drop Jar is a simple, low prep activity (like our other fine motor activities) that my
Fine motor activities are a hit with many toddlers and preschoolers! I try to incorporate fine motor fun into my preschool classroom every day. Most fine motor activities are more like games or puzzles for little learners to solve, instead of work. The Straw Flag Sticky Tray includes the colors red, white, and blue and is a great way to introduce little ones to the
Let’s make some pizza! Kids in the kitchen! My kids love to help out in the kitchen, whether it’s mixing with a hand-mixer or rolling out dough.

The kids could come up with lots of ways that their mommies were kind to them, but it was harder for them to think of ways that they could be kind to their mommies! After a few days, lots
Brrr…it’s officially winter! It may not be as cold as some parts of the country where we are, but the preschoolers are still enjoying all of our wintery activities in the classroom this month! I’ve added sparkly Frozen-themed play dough. The preschoolers are using ice blocks (Legos), polar animals, and ice picks (tees) while playing and pretending. We always have scissors out with play dough
Hot chocolate and counting marshmallows! In my preschool class we have been working on counting and numbers. The 3 year-olds are rocking the new activities that I added to our classroom, including filling our hot chocolate mugs up with the correct number of marshmallows! The preschoolers count one marshmallow at a time when adding them to the hot chocolate mug with kid-friendly tweezers. They are
