For our little friends ~ Preschool Activities

This year, with the help of pinterest, Mane & I found some learning activities that she could make for her little friends & cousins. Win-Win: Craft project for Mane, learning activity for the little friends...and a positive, structured activity for them to work together! Here are a couple of the things we came up with:

This is paint in a bag! We put duct tape around the edges to strengthen them & keep the bag from bursting. Use a q-tip or a finger to practice letters or words!  If I ever did this again, I'd do something to make the paint thicker. It tends to run back into the spaces too quickly. This is a great kinesthetic, tactile pre-reading/reading/spelling activity!

I think this one is my favorite because it's SO PRETTY! Paint samples from the hardware store make an excellent color matching game!

Match up clothespin letters to spell words! This helps kids practice the scanning skills necessary for reading - scanning over the clothespins to find the matching letter. The clothespins also make it a great fine motor & finger strengthening activity (pre-writing skills).
