Spring Bird Alphabet Match

4/8/2019

The free membership printable this week is Spring Bird Alphabet Match for letter recognition and fine motor development. I print the patterns on cardstock paper ... and then cut them out and laminated them.

I separated the birds from the nests and set them out on the table along with some large plastic paper clips. Children found the birds and nests with the same letters and then clipped them together with the paper clips. You can also just lay the nest on top of the matching bird.

You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday April 14th ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added a spring bird number match.

I made a felt board story that can be used with a spring or bird theme during circle time. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and laminated them.

I made this as a group participation story where the children can count a long as the birds all fly off and eventually return. You can download the patterns and see a video below:

birdhouse alphabet file folder game for preschool and kindergarten

The free membership printable this week is Birdhouse Alphabet File Folder Game for letter recognition and review. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and glued the birdhouse mats inside a file folder. I cut the letter circles out and laminated them.

In this activity children pick a letter circle and find the matching letter on the birdhouse mats and cover it up with the letter circle. I have include both upper and lowercase letters. I store the letter circles inside a zip lock bag and then place the bag inside the file folder.

You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday April 22nd ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added Birdhouse Number File Folder Game.

robot number match for preschool and kindergarten

The free membership printable this week is Robot Number Match which is great for number recognition and fine motor skills. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and laminated them.

I mixed the robots and gears up so they were not in order and set them out in to separate piles. Children put the robots in numerical order. We did this activity on the floor but you can also do it on a table.

After all of the robots were laid out in order the children then put the gears on the robots with the same numbers. The children can clip them together with clothes pins or large plastic coated paper clips. We did the activity as a sequence match but you can do it as a regular match without putting the robots in numerical order first.

You can grab the patterns for free until Sunday March 26th ... after that they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added a robot alphabet match.

birdhouse number match also added to the member's section

The free membership printable this week is a birdhouse alphabet match. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and then laminated them. I then separated them into two piles ... one for the birdhouses and one for the birds.

This is a great activity for letter recognition and review. The matching set comes with both uppercase as well as lowercase letters so the children can practice matching the letters in a few different ways.

In this activity children pick a birdhouse and match it with the bird with the same letter. We used clothespins to make match and clip activity (and to work on fine motor development) Play continues until all the letters have been matched. You can grab the patterns for free until Sunday April 17th ... after that they will only be available in the member's section which is also where the umbrella number pick and cover is located.

Birdhouse Letter Sliders For Preschool and Kindergarten

I made birdhouse letter sliders for the children to work on letter recognition. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and then laminated them. I cut the lines on the birdhouses with an exacto knife and set them out with the letter sliders in a basket.

The children picked a slider and pulled it through the birdhouse. They then identified the letter shown. When they finished with one slider they removed it and put a new one in. Play continues until all of the sliders have been used.
