Halloween is just around the corner (well, I suppose around the corner and down the street a bit). But we are already getting into the Halloween Spirit at our house! Jamie, form Hands on as we Grow has been on a Spider kick lately, which inspired me to do a spider activity too. We have…
Preschool Math Games: Graphing with Nature
Preschool math games can be so much fun! This is a great game we use at home to help introduce the tricky concept of graphing. Graphing likely seems simple to most adults, but to wee ones it can be very tricky! Preschoolers often get confused with the concepts of ‘bigger/longer’ and ‘more’. But this simple…
Alphabet Matching Game: On the Run!
Sammy and I are just beginning to work on some alphabet matching games. He is becoming familiar with most uppercase letters now, so I am beginning to introduce lowercase. I have found the easiest way for wee ones to understand the relationship between upper and lowercase letters is through alphabet matching games.
Counting with a Halloween Craft
Is it too soon for a Halloween craft? Not in our house! I love Holidays or Celebrations of any kind – and so do my wee ones. Our monster numbers activity we had been doing led us very nicely to this Halloween Craft. It is monster counting in a craft form.
Monster Numbers
In the video I posted I talked all about different ways wee learn numbers in my house with these number monsters. Sammy has been loving these little monsters that we made, so I wanted to share with you how he has been using them, for those who prefer a post over video. Sammy is able…
Counting Games with Magic
My Sammy is fussy with counting games. He is a very busy wee one, this boy of mine. The idea of sitting still to focus on numbers and counting games is not really his thing. So I brought out some magic – and poof! – he couldn’t wait to count!
Preschool Games: Math Games at the Mall
Preschool games can take place anywhere. An outing to the mall can be full of fun preschool games! Letter learning and math games are everywhere, as are different sights, scents, and experiences. On our last trip to the Mall, my Sammy enjoyed some fun preschool games. On this day, we focused on Math games. Here…
Rhyming Games: Rhyme or SLIME
I just love teaching kids to rhyme. I have the BEST rhyming words game for preschoolers! Not to toot my own horn or anything, but 3 year olds just adore this fun and easy activity. Rhyming is likely not brand new to your preschooler. I bet you naturally do it every day – perhaps…
Recipes for Kids: Pizza
I love math, and love doing math games with my kids. In our home, math games come in all shapes and sizes! This preschool activity is full of math – and teaches self-help skills and reading too. Following a visual recipe is a wonderful activity for toddlers and preschoolers. This one single activity gives you…
Fall Books for Toddlers and Preschoolers
We have been snuggling in for some Fall Books for toddlers and preschoolers lately. There is nothing better then cozying up to read some wonderful books with my wee ones on these chilly evenings. We really enjoy these Fall Books – I hope you will to! Leaf Trouble written by Jonathan Emmett is a colourful,…
