Super simple learning ideas for kids!

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

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.

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.
