Jingle bell, jingle, jingle bell rock! Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring! Jingle bells are one of my preschoolers’ favorite learning material this month! Actually probably THE favorite. They are magnetic and they jingle. We are using them in our math activities, science, and in circle time. “Jingle Bell Rock” Sensory Play I find that it’s easy to overthink things when it comes to
Candy Cane Ornaments
In preschool I like to keep things simple! This way, my preschoolers can be proud of the creations they make whether in the kinetic sand or creating a project to keep forever, like our Candy Cane Ornaments! What I like about these candy canes is that they are low prep on my end too. And if you’re anything like me, you have a fun supply
Building Kinetic Sand Turkeys
Kinetic sand is a favorite in my classroom. Actually my kids at home love it too! There is something about the feel of the kinetic sand that makes you want to squish it together and then let it fall between your fingers. It’s a great example of sensory play for toddlers and preschoolers. The kinetic sand turkeys that my preschoolers created were simple to set
Fine Motor Fall Leaves
The time between the beginning of November and winter break in preschool flies by! During this time I find that super simple and easy to prep learning activities, like this fine motor activity, work best. I pulled one of my sets of fall leaves, placed them on our table in the classroom, and the kids were ready to play, strengthen fine motor muscles, discuss fall
Pumpkin Seed {reusable} Window Stickers
Make counting fun! Keeping toddlers and preschoolers engaged while learning is easy to do with activities like our Pumpkin Seed Window Stickers! My preschoolers love to play on vertical surfaces. With reusable stickers, they can play over and over again while working on counting, strengthening fine motor muscles, and practicing 1:1 correspondence. Pumpkin Seed Window Stickers The supplies for this activity are so simple! You
Black Bat Sensory Bin
This week it was time to change up the sensory area of my preschool classroom. We had moved on from all of our spider fun (check it out here!) and focusing more on Halloween fun! I put together our simple Black Bat Sensory Bin with just a few supplies. My preschoolers have been loving making bat soup, counting bats, and of course, running their hands
Color Matching Sticky Spiders
Easy peasy spider activity! A spur of the moment activity turned into a favorite learning center in preschool last week. I don’t know if it was because the activity was so simple or because it included sticky paper, but my preschoolers continued to go back and play again and again! Practice color matching and strengthen fine motor skills with these fun {and reusable!} sticky spiders!
Dinosaur Letter Tracing for Preschoolers
I am huge fan of learning without worksheets. There are so many ways that young children, especially preschoolers, can learn essential skills without worksheets and flash cards. Our Dinosaur Letter Tracing for preschoolers busy bag is a great example of this! Practice letter formation, letter recognition, and even letter sounds without lifting a pencil. Young children will stay engaged during this playful activity and you may
Simple Spider Craft for Kids
We are currently obsessed with all things SPIDER in my preschool classroom! My preschoolers can just about recite Eric Carle’s, The Very Busy Spider from memory because we have read it so many times. They love helping me read it, and act exhausted as they help me read that the spider was “very busy spinning her web” throughout the story. To go along with the
Pigs in the Mud Sensory Bin
Messy play is always so much fun with preschoolers! I find that when our sensory play is a little out of the box and intriguing, more of my preschoolers who may normally shy away from getting messy, join in. Our pigs in the mud sensory bin was super messy, but so easy to set up! It also allowed my preschoolers to help, which they loved.
