Wiggly worms! Earthworms are fascinating to preschoolers. FAS-CIN-ATING. Whether the little learners are brave enough to actually touch the worms, or would rather observe from the sidelines, worms are a great tool to use to teach across all learning areas in the classroom. My class has been feeding worms to baby birds in our newest sensory bin, learning about how worms help the soil, and
Ladybug Counting Preschool Window Activity
Learning with ladybugs! Counting ladybug spots with reusable stickers on a window or in the bathtub is a fun way to practice numbers again and again! Bringing learning outside {or even inside looking out!} makes learning more interesting to preschoolers. In preschool, we have been learning about bugs and The Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle is a big hit right now. The Counting with Ladybugs

Reusable Colorful Caterpillar Alphabet Sticky Wall
We are loving everything about spring at preschool right now! There are so many stories, finger plays, and songs about caterpillars and butterflies that my preschoolers are having so much fun learning about them!

Chicken Eggs Sorting & Fine Motor Sensory Tray
I put together this sensory tray full of chicken eggs and Easter basket grass with the help of my preschoolers. Before we could even start setting up the tray though, the grass (which we were calling hay) needed a haircut! When you take the grass out of the bag, it seems like one long piece all wrapped up and is almost impossible to really separate.
Making Purple Science & Preschool Song
My preschoolers have had a blast shaking eggs to Laurie Berkner’s, I Know a Chicken, song! Our egg shakers are simple to make – plastic eggs filled with rice (beans, pebbles, beads) and taped or glued together. Ta Da! Super simple, super fun egg shakers. Because the kids cannot get enough of this song, I came up with a new way to shake some eggs
Bunny {tail} Sensory Bin for Preschool
Sensory play with cotton balls! If there is one area of the classroom that my preschoolers visit the most, it would be our sensory table activities!

Spring and Easter are just around the corner, so this is the perfect time of year to introduce my preschoolers to our Bunny
Dr. Seuss {1 Fish, 2 Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish} Learning Games
Dr. Seuss’ birthday is a great excuse for some extra fun learning games! Preschoolers love to learn through play and when there is rhyming involved, it’s even more inviting! After reading One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, I set up a color game for my preschoolers to play. Different colored fish were hidden around our classroom. Each child got a turn to find
Rainbow Writing in Preschool
My preschoolers love to show off their skills lately, so they were more than eager to practice writing on our new Rainbow Writing windows!

The activity ended up being the most popular
