Shape Sort! Shape Sorting Activity Mats for Kids

February 6, 2020 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Shapes are all around us. We often learn about them as individual items, but we really see them everywhere we go!

When my kids were small, they loved spotting shapes as we went about the day.

They found shapes on streetlights, traffic signs, buildings, and especially their favorite foods.

To help early learners recognize shapes all around them, I’m sharing these fun shape sorting activity mats for preschoolers!

Shape Sorting Mats for Early Learners

Each shape mat has six spaces to place the six objects that have the specified shape.

The cards are also color coded, so it’s easy – even for little ones – to match them up.

Printable Shape Sorting Mats for Preschoolers

If a student is unsure which shape goes where, ask them to lay the shape card directly on the shape shown on the mat. 

Then they can trace around the shape with their finger to see which shape it resembles the most.

Printable Preschool Shape Sorting Activity Mats

This can be used as a one-time cut and paste activity for students, but it really works wonderfully as a reusable lesson.

Printable Shape Sorting Activity for Preschoolers

Just laminate the mats and cards and then add hook and loop sticky dots for a quick go-to whenever you want to reinforce shape recognition.

These are also fantastic for busy bags!

Polar Animals I Spy Activity for Kids

January 21, 2020 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Last week, I took the kids to the library and I checked out a Where’s Waldo? Find the Differences book. 

After about 10 minutes of staring at one picture, my head started to hurt. 

I found Waldo pretty quickly, but finding all the differences in each of the pictures almost killed me. The kids thought it was funny.

Peppermint Hot Cocoa Sequencing Mats for Kids

November 14, 2019 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

When I was little, I was a total hot cocoa addict.

My parents drank coffee every morning. But I was in love with hot chocolate.

I had a little microwavable mug and, once I learned to make cocoa on my own (usually with Nesquik), I was off to the races.

As the weather gets colder, I still remember my hot chocolate memories. And that’s why I wanted to share these adorable peppermint hot cocoa sequencing mats for kids!

This fun mail-themed preschool color sorting activity is perfect for fine motor skills and color recognition!
Toddlers and preschoolers will love this mail-themed color sorting activity! Perfect for a busy bag!

Preschoolers love to pretend to deliver mail.

When we took our little ones to a pretend neighborhood, they all wanted to dress up as mail delivery workers and put envelopes in the tiny mailbox. It was adorable.

Since learning to recognize colors and color words is an important skill for toddlers and preschoolers to master, I thought it would be fun to combine colors and mail delivery into a simple preschool color sorting game!

Fun Preschool Mail Color Sorting Activity

With this simple color recognition activity, kids can pretend to “stamp mail” and work on learning their colors. And, after the initial setup, you can reuse it over and over again.

It’s perfect for preschool busy bags, centers, or morning tubs!

Add a hook sticky dot on the back of each stamp.

Preschool Worksheets: Cookie Counting Worksheets for Preschool

November 4, 2019 by Selena Robinson 3 Comments

Use these cute cookie counting worksheets for preschool with your early learners!

One of the wonderful things about preschool is that you don’t have to teach a whole lot of math. After all, you’re working with kids that are four to five years old.

So it’s really a time for introducing the very basics of mathematics: shapes, sizes, counting, numbers, and so on.

I thought we’d add a fun twist to working on counting with Piglet with these cookie counting worksheets for preschool!

Pumpkin Preschool Size Sorting Game

October 15, 2019 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Working with size recognition is such a fun early learning concept! All of our kids loved learning the differences between small, medium, and large. 

My husband, who is 6’3″, was always an easy way to show “big”. Meanwhile, I’m 5’2″, so I kind of worked as “medium”. And, of course, our kids (when they were preschoolers) were “small”. 

We could usually line up our hands and see the obvious differences in size. 

For a class of early learners, though, it’s also good to have a quick printable activity you can go to when you’re learning about size. And that’s where this pumpkin size sorting game comes in handy!

Simple Pumpkin Size Sorting Game for Kids

This is a perfect fall math center activity for early grades! And you could  also use it to talk about same and different, as well as feelings, since each pumpkin has a different expression.

Printable Mountain Playdough Shape Mats

Once you laminate these mats, you can use them again and again, so here are a few different ways to use them with your preschoolers.

Mountain Playdough Shape Mats for Kids

Give your child a Do A Dot marker and challenge him or her to fill in each shape with a different color. Or each dot with a different color.

You can even ask your child to make a color pattern (one green circle, one red circle, one blue circle, then repeat it).

Mountain Themed Playdough Shape Mats

Hand out circular stickers and let your child stick them into the circles. This is particularly great for toddlers or for times when you want to avoid a potential mess. 😉

Printable Mountain Themed Playdough Shape Mats

Use playdough to fill in the circles. Have your child roll small bits of dough into circles and place them in each circle to form each shape. This is excellent for fine motor practice.

Mountain Themed Playdough Shape Mats for Kids

Give your child dry erase crayons and bring the mats along when you’re going to a place you’ll have to wait.

Good choices include the doctor’s office, the drive-through, or a long car ride. Toss a basic washcloth into the car and use it to wipe off the mats for reuse.

Fall Leaves Count and Match: Preschool Concentration Game for Kids

September 16, 2019 by Selena Robinson 2 Comments

Practice number recognition and counting skills with this simple preschool fall concentration game!

We’ve been working on counting and number recognition with our little one lately, so in the spirit of autumn, I thought I’d share a fun fall math preschool concentration game that little ones will love to play!

One of the best ways I’ve found to get my kids excited about learning is to play lots and lots of games. That way, they get to practice basic concepts without even realizing it.

So for my smallest learner, this concentration game was an easy way to help her work on counting.

Fun Fall Leaf Preschool Concentration Game

And it only takes a few minutes to make too!

This would be a fantastic fall math center activity for early learners. Or you could turn it into a fall themed busy bag!

If your kids like this game, be sure to check out our apple preschool counting puzzles for more preschool fall math fun!

Use this fun fall leaves preschool concentration game to help little learners practice number skills and counting!

Fall Leaf Count and Match Preschool Concentration Game

To make this fall math preschool concentration game, you’ll need the following: (This post contains affiliate links. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

  • Printer (with ink)
  • Patterned cardstock
  • Laminator (optional)
  • Scissors

Fall Themed Preschool Concentration Game

To assemble the game, print the flashcards and then laminate them.

Kids can be pretty rough on pieces of paper. This way, the cards will stay crisp enough to reuse.

Printable Fall Counting Preschool Concentration Game

Here’s a tip: If you print these on regular printer paper, kids will be able to see the numbers and dice through the back. Which doesn’t make for much of a challenge.

So I printed them on patterned cardstock.

That way, the game looks better and it’s more fun for the kids to try to match up the cards without seeing what each one is in advance.

Fall Leaf Counting Concentration Game

Once you’ve laminated the cards and cut them out, lay them out face-down. Let the kids practice turning them over one by one.

The goal is to match the leaf number cards with the leaf dice cards. The leaf with “5” on it corresponds to the leaf that has five dots on the die.

Fall Counting Concentration Game

To make matching easier, the leaves are color-coded. You can even use them to match colors for younger kids!

Phonics Fun! Printable Phonics Flashcards for Kids

April 22, 2019 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Phonics are kind of a controversial topic in education these days. Some kids learn to read without ever practicing phonics, but some benefit by learning to master common phonics skills. 

Personally, I’m for whatever helps a child learn to read. 

Some of my kids took to reading right away. Others learned beginning sounds, digraphs, and suffixes before learning to read fluently. 

So I thought these printable phonics flashcards might be useful to some of you as well!

Printable Phonics Flashcards for Early Readers

These would be excellent for literacy centers, phonics reviews, and even “I Have, Who Has?” games! Plus, you can print them once and then use them over and over again.

So, for letter A, there are two flashcards: one featuring a picture of an acorn (for long A) and another featuring a picture of an alligator (for short A).

Consonant Flashcards for Kids

Consonant sounds are included in this set of printable phonics flashcards too!

Printable Consonant Phonics Flashcards

Letters that have more than one sound, such as G, have a flashcard for each type of sound: hard and soft.

In the example of G, one flashcard shows a picture of grapes (for hard G) and another shows a picture of a gingerbread man (for soft G).

Printable Consonant Flashcards for Kids

Even tricky letters like X are included! One flashcard shows a word that begins with X (“xylophone”) and another shows a word that ends with the X sound (“fox”).
