Super simple learning ideas for kids!
Whenever I think of fall, I start singing a song that I would teach my preschoolers each year stuck in my head! My own kids are not always fans of my preschool songs anymore, and it drives them bananas! But singing songs and doing finger play rhymes and chants in the classroom are one of the best ways to help a preschooler learn a new
Let’s go to the farm and practice letters of the alphabet at the same time! The animals that live on the farm are always a topic that is a hit with preschoolers. Farm animal sounds, farm songs, and farm pretend play are so fun to add to a farm theme of learning activities. Our farm alphabet match sensory bin activity will fit into your farm
Spiders do not have to be scary! In fact, they are one of my favorite fall themes in preschool. 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

All of these things make me think about being a little kid in the summertime! Our new summer color by code printable
Ice cream is the ultimate summer treat! It can be eaten in a cone, a cup, in a sandwich, or even on a popsicle stick. No matter how the ice cream is presented, it’s always a hit with preschoolers! This is why an ice cream theme fits seamlessly into a summer or beach theme. And our ice cream treat alphabet puzzles are the perfect addition
Summer is coming and hopefully that means beach time for everyone! If not, using a beach theme to teach can be just as fun. Whether your preschoolers are digging through a sensory bin of play sand, exploring with seashells, or painting ocean animals on the easel, the beach or ocean theme are fun to focus on with young learners.

Watermelon learning activities are my favorite as we move into summer themed learning! There are so many ways to set up learning centers, hands-on activities, and cooking & creating ideas with a watermelon theme. Watermelon as a snack is also usually a hit with preschoolers.
