Gingerbread Number Match

gingerbread number match for preschool and kindergarten
The free membership printable this week is a gingerbread number match which is great for number recognition  and fine motor development. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and laminated them.

I separated the gingerbread houses from the gingerbread people and then mixed up the numbers.  I set them out in a basket along with large plastic coated paper clips.

If you did not want to use paper clips you can use clothespins instead. Both of these are great for developing fine motor skills.

In this activity the children pick a gingerbread house and then find the gingerbread person with the same number and clip them together.  You can also turn this activity into a sequence match by having the children put the gingerbread houses in numerical order and then place the matching gingerbread people on top of the houses.

You can grab the patterns for free until Sunday December 4th ... after that they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added a gingerbread alphabet match.

december number tracing calendar
Where does all the time go?  It's hard to believe we are almost at the end of another year!! ​Here is Decembers's number tracing calendar and other December items including daily reports and calendar numbers. I included both snowflake and holiday tree themes.

I also made snowflake and holiday tree themed days of the week and months of the year strips that can be used in pocket charts or in your calendar centers. We also do sequencing and matching with them. Just print ... cut ... and laminate.

Fine Motor Cover-Ups

fine motor cover-ups download for preschool and kindergarten
I am so excited to announce my fine motor cover-up mats download is now available in the download store!!  There are 52 mats designed to work on fine motor development.  The mats can also be extended into math activities by adding dice.

Each mat comes with three different color levels (b&w - part color - full color) and two different cover-up levels.  Cover-up circles are included with the patterns but you can use other items such as those shown in the images below:

When children pick up and place the cover-ups on the mat it helps to develop fine motor muscles in the fingers which are needed for cutting and writing (as well as other daily activities like getting dressed and eating).  I like to introduce one or two mats a week but you can also print out several and have the children self-select which ones they want to do.

turkey fine motor cover up for preschool and kindergarten
Here is another sneak peek at my new fine motor cover-up download release which you can find here. Just print out the turkey mat on cardstock paper and laminate.  There is a black and white version ... a part color version ... and a full color version to choose from.  There are also two different cover-up levels.

In this activity children cover up the blank circles.  We used pom poms and tweezers but you can use items such as:

playdough
magnets
stickers
flat glass beads
do-a-dot markers
bingo daubers
finger paint

You can also have the children roll a dice and cover up the same number of circles on the mat for a roll ... count ... and cover/remove activity.

Always remember to use supervision when using small items with children under the age of three and those still in the stages of putting items in their mouth.

You can grab the turkey cover-up here and if you get a chance let me know what items you would use with this activity by leaving a comment.

I set the turkey cards and pattern circles out in a basket for the children to self-select.  There are a total of twenty pattern cards but you can choose how many to use with your early learners.

circle color puzzles for preschool and kindergarten
I designed a set of circle puzzles to help work on color recognition.  I printed them out on cardstock paper and cut them out. Next I cut along the lines in the center of the circles to make two halves and then laminated all pieces.

I set separated the circle halves into two piles and mixed them up. The children picked a half from one pile and then found the the matching half in the other pile.  The then put the two halves together to form a circle.
