Egg Alphabet Puzzles

3/30/2020

The free membership printable this week is egg alphabet puzzles for letter recognition and review. Print the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them and cut along the solid line to make two halves. Laminate all pieces. I added sequins to mine before laminating for an extra sparkle.

I set the pieces out and children found the two halves with the matching letters and put them together. I have included both uppercase and lowercase letters.

You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday April 6th ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added egg sight word puzzles.

I made a bunny tic-tac-toe game that is perfect for spring. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and laminated them for durability. Children play in pairs and try to get three in a row either diagonally ... vertically or horizontally. You can download the patterns below:

bead stringing color match for preschool and kindergarten. also a great fine motor activity.

The free membership printable this week is a bead stringing color match which is a wonderful activity for fine motor development. Simply print the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and laminate them.

There are twelve colors included in this set and I was able to find beads for all twelve colors. For gray I used silver beads as that is what I had on hand.

I punched a hole on the first dashed line on each of the color circles and then attached six inch white pipe cleaners by going through the top of the holes and then bending about a half inch of the pipe cleaner over.

I set the color circles out along with the beads and the children sorted the beads by color and then strung them on the pipe cleaners of the matching circles. If you wanted to use larger beads you could use lacing cord and attach it to the color circles for the children to string.

You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday March 29th ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added shape cutting cards.

Wishing You Well

I am a very private person and do not post much about myself or about life in general. I did want to however send thoughts of love and encouragement during this difficult time we are all facing.

The pandemic has been heartbreaking and for many of us who are now out of work our lives have been turned upside down. Those of us who are educators feel a double sense of loss at not being able to teach and not being with our students. Please be strong and stay safe. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Leprechaun Alpha Punch Cards

leprechaun alphabet punch cards for preschool and kindergarten

The free membership printable this week is Leprechaun alphabet punch cards for letter recognition and fine motor development. You can print on regular or cardstock paper for use with a hole punch.

I recommend printing on cardstock paper and laminating durability if you will be using these as clip cards. I have included both color as well as black and white patterns so you have a choice of which to use.

In this activity children pick a card and punch the dot under the letter that matches the letter on the leprechaun. If you did not want to use a hole punch you could also clip the cards with clothespins or paper clips or even use buttons to cover up the dots.

You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday March 9th ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added Leprechaun number punch cards.
