Scarecrow Alphabet Sequence

scarecrow number sequence also added to the member's section

I made a scarecrow alphabet sequence which is a great activity for letter recognition and review. I printed the scarecrows on cardstock paper and cut them out.

I then glued the scarecrows on craft sticks and set them out in a clear plastic cup. You do not have to glue them on to craft sticks but I found they are easier for the children to sort through and pick up.

In this activity children put the scarecrows in alphabetical order. You can also do a matching activity by making two sets of the scarecrows. As of 2022 this activity can be found in the member's section which is where the scarecrow number sequence is also located.

ghost shape tracing for preschool and kindergarten

We are working on shapes and pre-writing so I made a ghost shape tracers that worked on both skills. There are eight different shapes included with this set:

circles
squares
ellipses
rectangles
triangles
stars
diamonds
hearts

I printed the patterns on regular paper and cut them out but you could also leave the pages whole if you did not want to cut. I set the tracers out with markers and the children traced the shapes.

Because our writers are beginners I used the thicker markers instead of the thinner ones to make controlling the marker a bit easier. If you would like the ghost shape tracing patterns you can download them here.

Here are some color clip cards that are great activity for color recognition and fine motor development. I printed the color cards on cardstock paper ... cut them out and laminated.

I set the ghost color cards out in a basket along with twelve clothespins. If you did not want to use clothespins you could use playdough or some other kind of cover-up.

In this activity children pick a ghost color card and put a clothespin on the same color that is on the ghost. Play continues until all color cards have been clipped. As of 2022 this activity can be found in the member's section which is ghost roll and cover is also located.

The children loved this cute pumpkin alphabet match which is a great activity for letter recognition and review. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and cut them out. I glued the pumpkin pattern on a sheet of colored cardstock paper and laminated it along with the letter circles.

I have included both uppercase and lowercase pumpkins and letter circles so you have a choice of how you want to set this activity up for your early learners.

In this activity children put the letter circles on the matching letters on the pumpkin. Play continues until all the letters have been covered up. As of 2022 this activity can be found in the member's section which is where the pumpkin number match is also located.
