Simple learning with stickers! Simple is what I am all about. I have always been one to wait until the last minute to get things done. I do some of my best preschool planning while drying my hair and brushing my teeth! The activities that we do in preschool (and at home!) are super simple but still super fun. This includes our latest activity that
Apple Seed Counting Cards
Practicing number identification and counting with one-to-one correspondence is so much fun with this set of Apple Seed Counting Cards! Apple Seed Counting Cards Apple seeds are so tiny that they can help develop and strengthen those fine motor muscles in preschoolers each time they are pinched and picked up. Using apple seeds is a way to add a fun and even real dimension
Shape Sort Sticky Wall
During the first week of preschool, I set up activities for quick {yet still fun} assessments to see what skills my preschoolers already knew at the beginning of the school year. Sorting by category, size, and color is taught and used throughout the school year with 3 year-olds. Our Shape Sort Sticky Wall introduced sorting by shape and tied in shape recognition too! I am
Alphabet Letter Stones
Creating easy to use materials for my classroom is so fun! I have used my summer break to stock up on fun printables (the smiley shapes are my favorite!), simple busy bags or independent table centers, and super fun manipulatives (homemade and from the dollar store!). One of coolest things I made for my preschoolers are these Alphabet Letter Stones! Aren’t they beautiful? They were
Apple Color Sorting Activity
One of the first themes that we explore in preschool is apples! Apples usually mean that fall is just around the corner – one of my favorite times of the year! My preschoolers learn with apples in different ways, but in my classroom I always try to keep the activities simple. The Apple Color Sorting Tree is a super simple math activity to set up
Queen Elsa’s Frozen Snow World
Queen Elsa is well loved by my preschoolers at school and by my own preschooler at home! If one child starts singing, “Let It Go” or “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” they all start singing along. Frozen is acted out on the playground and talked about during snack time. The love {and obsession} with the movie isn’t going anywhere which is why creating
Dinosaur Sticker Sorting for Preschoolers
Sorting is a skill that preschoolers develop as they are exposed to different activities that work with visual discrimination over and over again. The great thing about sorting games and activities is that there are so many different options that little learners will never get bored with all the practice they are doing. The dinosaur sticker sort is meant for an independent center in the
Frog Splashing Pond Small World
Ribbit! Splash! Frogs seem to be everywhere this summer! We see them in the grass hopping all over and have saved too many to count from our pool. My kids are slightly obsessed with the super cute baby frogs that have recently made an appearance, so it was so much fun creating a Frog Splashing Pond Small World for them to play with!

Fine Motor Number Matching Sun
Recently, I was asked to share fun learning ideas with a local moms’ group. I shared lots of simple activities that could be put together with supplies from around the house (or that could be found at the dollar store). One of the activities was our Number Matching Sun that strengthens fine motor skills and works on number and counting skills. It’s also super easy
Rainbow Bubble Beads Discovery Bottle
Light play! Discovery bottles can be soothing, educational, or just plain fun. For some reason, no matter what their purpose is, they are quite mesmerizing (even to me)! Our Rainbow Bubble Beads Discovery Bottle takes just minutes to put together and includes very simple materials that can most likely be found around your house. My own children can be found blowing bubbles just about every
