Super simple learning ideas for kids!
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
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
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.

Our Christmas beads & jingle bell bracelet activity allows you to offer your preschoolers a reusable busy bag activity to practice hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills, with the bonus of also creating a bracelet to bring home. You probably have the items needed for
Keeping preschoolers on task and engaged during the month of December can be hard than it seems without the right activities. I tend to keep things simple throughout the school year in my classroom, but think it’s the only way to go when holidays are coming up! This is why my prechoolers and I love our Christmas bow patterns math activity. It is a hands-on
Christmas Tree Magnet Ornaments Creating the Christmas trees is easy to do! I used a piece of felt that you can find at Walmart or a craft store to cut out a tree shape. We use these trees throughout December and January for different Christmas and winter activities. Gather as many jingle bells or magnetic plastic coins as you can find. Add a magnetic
Super simple learning activities that cover multiple leveled learners and can be set up in just minutes. Yes, please! The month of December in preschool flies by. Instead of adding more to your plate, set up your classroom in a way that you can enjoy your preschoolers throughout the month without the added stress. Our play dough Christmas tree activity easily incorporates fine motor and
We cannot get enough of super simple, super fun Christmas activities in preschool lately! There are so many activities that I see that I would love to try, but I just cannot get into activities that take too much input from the teacher’s end and not enough from the actual preschooler.
