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.

heart match and clip for preschool and kindergarten

The free membership printable this week is heart match and clip for visual discrimination and fine motor development. I printed two copies the patterns on cardstock paper and cut them out. I then laminated them and put them in a basket with mini clothes pins that I found at michaels craft store.

I've included hearts with various patterns and solid colors for the children to match. In this activity children find the two hearts that are the same and clip them together. Play continues until all hearts have been matched.

You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday 9th ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added heart roll and cover.

tissue paper turkey for preschool and kindergarten

Here is another easy to make fine motor turkey craft. You will need the turkey pattern ... glue ... tissue paper ... and scissors. Print the turkey on cardstock paper and cut it out (we glued ours on colored cardstock paper but you don't have to).

The next step is to cut or tear tissue paper into small squares and separate by color. Apply glue drops to the blank blank turkey feathers. We put glue in a small plastic bowl and the children dipped qtips in the glue and dotted it on the blank feathers.

The next step is to scrunch the squares of tissue paper and press them on to the glue dots on the turkey patter. We did one color per turkey feather but you can also just used mixed colors.

You can grab the tissue paper turkey patterns here.

The free membership printable this week is butterfly alphabet punch for letter recognition and fine motor development. You can print the patterns on either cardstock or regular paper.

I used a paper slicer to to cut the strips. I purchased mine at Michael's craft store but they can be purchased online as well. I made the patterns in both black and white and color so you would have a choice of what to print.

In this activity children use a hole punch to punch the dots on under the letters on each strip that match the letter on the butterflies. You can also use mini or regular clothespins as well as large plastic paper clips.

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

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 know it's a little late for shamrocks but it's been a hectic week and these turned out so cute I decided to share them anyway.

Print two copies of the shamrocks on cardstock paper and then cut out and laminate them.

In this activity children find the same color shamrocks and clip them together with clothespins or paperclips. Play continues until all colors have been matched. You can download the shamrocks below:
