A lot of our outdoor play time involves sidewalk chalk games. They are easy to set up and usually involve creative learning. The Animal Track Jump Game reinforces colors and counting while using those big gross motor muscles in preschoolers! Active {get up and move} learning is used frequently in my preschool classroom and at home. Toddlers and preschoolers often stay more engaged when they

Bead Drop Fine Motor Jar
Building fine motor skills can be so fun for preschoolers and toddlers! Their little fingers are getting ready to write letters, words, and draw detailed pictures. Developing and strengthening fine motor muscles while little learners are young, set them up for success throughout their early school years.

Fine Motor Straw Flag Sticky Tray
Fine motor activities are a hit with many toddlers and preschoolers! I try to incorporate fine motor fun into my preschool classroom every day.

The Straw Flag Sticky Tray includes the colors red, white, and blue and is a great way to introduce little ones to the
Shaving Cream Window Writing Practice
Practice early writing skills with shaving cream on the window! Young learners {think toddlers and preschoolers!} don’t need worksheets to practice their writing skills.

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.
Initial Sound Egg Alphabet Matching Game
Busy bags, quiet time games, and learning center activities are a fun way for preschoolers and kindergarteners to learn while having fun! My preschoolers have played a lot of alphabet games recently, and some are ready for more of a challenge. Instead of identifying letters or matching upper and lower case letters, The Initial Sound Egg Alphabet Matching Game works on phonics skills too!
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!
