Super simple learning ideas for kids!
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.

Penguins are one of my favorite learning themes! I think between my collection of penguin books, penguin facts, penguin art projects, and penguin writing that we do, I could actually spend a month on penguins with my preschoolers. This year I am adding name building to our penguin theme. Our feed the penguin name mat is a great way for preschoolers to practice first and
Beach and ocean themes are perfect for the end of the school year. We also will add them into the beginning of the yer sometimes because it’s still so warm when we go back to school. And we all know that in your preschool classroom you may find different levels of alphabet awareness and recognition throughout the school year. This is why our crabs at

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
Summer is coming! That means we all get to relax and recharge over the break. In my house it also means we have an abundance of creatures around. We get everything from frogs to dragonflies to snakes (both friendly and not so friendly!). Our frog on a log lowercase letter match is the perfect activity to play during the warmer weather while practicing alphabet recognition.
There is this ice cream place near us that only serves vanilla and chocolate custard-style ice cream each day. Along with those flavors, there is a special flavor of the day. We love this ice cream place so much, that I will check out the flavor of the day almost every day just in case we need to make time to go get ice cream
Every year when we go to the beach for a week, we see the cutest sand crabs! We could sit there and watch the crabs run from hole to hole forever. They duck in and out of the holes while making sure it’s safe to keep moving across the sand. This is why our lowercase letter crab match is the perfect activity for preschoolers to
It’s not always easy to come up with alphabet activities for younger kids who have no prior letter knowledge. Exposing preschoolers to letters of the alphabet without the stress of a correct answer or desired outcome is a fun way to begin learning the alphabet. Our dinosaur egg alphabet match can be set up for young children to play different ways to fit their individual
Gobble! Gobble! It’s the time during the school year when my preschoolers are starting to really recognize their names. Each morning when they come into the classroom, they hang their name up and sign in. Now that they are recognizing their names, it’s time to begin practicing spelling and recognizing the letters in their names. This cute turkey feather name recognition activity & craft can
