Popcorn Snowman Counting

December 20, 2017 by Sarah 4 Comments

We have been working on counting activities for preschoolers lately. Yesterday morning I announced to my little ones, “Wash your hands! We are going to do a fun activity!” To which one of my little ones responded, “Wash them because it is a delicate activity, or an eating one?” When I announced it was an…

A great way to practice letters with hockey

Name Hockey

November 29, 2017 by Sarah 1 Comment

My oldest is very artistic. My middle child loves being outside and in nature (and wild). And as it turns out, this baby of mine loves sports. I have to be honest, I really didn’t see that last little curve ball. I would say we are a crafty family, sure. An outdoorsy family, most definitely….

What’s in a name? Usually letters. Probably Always. Important ones too. Those little letters that make up our names are OURS. We own those ones. They are special! At least they are when we are little. When starting to teach children their letters it is a fabulous idea to begin with their name letters. Once…

Natural learning, through play-based and child-led adventures of course – and truly, most importantly of all. But summer is a great time to…

June 6, 2017 by Sarah 2 Comments

As I mentioned yesterday, my Ben is quite the sports enthusiast. I thought I better get prepared with some preschool sports theme activities. Turns out there were a LOT to be found. Seems like oodles of people are teaching little ones based on their interests — how awesome is that! I believe we have a…

Activities for crossing the midline

Crossing the Midline and bridging the Great Divide!

May 29, 2017 by Sarah 2 Comments

Crossing the midline activities for kids. What on earth are those? Sometimes in the educational world we start speaking a slightly different language than ‘normal’ people. Not that teachers aren’t normal … though … you do need to be a little insane to work with small children all day long, don’t you? Anyways. I had…

A different kind of name puzzle

April 4, 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

I love name puzzles for preschoolers. I love how name puzzles involve not only learning a name, but also learning about letter shapes and proportions and math concepts too. I have shared with you a few different name puzzles before – in fact, I have shared one for every season! And yet, here I am…

Rhyming activities for kids can be so much fun and a great way to build strong literacy skills. Rhyming is one of the phonological awareness skills children need before they can read.

Rhyming is fun and easy! Except when it’s not …

March 21, 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Does it make me geeky to admit that I love rhyming activities? I do. And at a recent family gathering, a certain sister brought to my attention that I was, in fact, quite geeky. I truly had no idea. Isn’t that funny? I have always thought of myself as more natural living and free-spirited. This…

March 13, 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Do you know what I love? When I witness little ones overcome something that was once tricky. We all have challenges and things that don’t come easily for us. But that moment when we can once do what we hadn’t been able to do before – that is a magic moment. I just so happen…
