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 number that matches the number on the bird. 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.

alphabet dab strips for preschool and kindergarten

The free membership printable this week is Alphabet Dab Strips for letter recognition and review as well as fine motor development. The patterns can be printed on cardstock or regular paper.

I used a paper cute to cut along the lines where indicated. There are four alphabet strips per page. I have included both upper and lowercase letters as well as black lines and circles and gray lines and circles.

We used dot markers that I purchased on amazon. If you did not want to use dot markers you could also use buttons or pom poms as cover-ups. I like using the dot markers because the children can still see the letters after marking them.

In this activity children dab the letters that match the letter at the beginning of each strip. I have included both upper and lowercase letters.

You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday February 21st ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added the Number Dab Strips.

penguin heart number cards for preschool and kindergarten

The free membership printable this week is Penguin Heart Number Cards for number recognition and review as well as fine motor development. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and then laminated them.

There are a variety of ways the number cards can be used. We love to use them for match and clip activities. The children find the two penguin cards with the same numbers and then clip them together with a large plastic paper clip or a clothes pin.

Another activity we use the cards for is sequencing. We glue craft sticks on to the back of the cards and the children put the cards in numerical order. This can be made into a matching activity by making two sets of the penguin cards.

For identification i attach the cards to book rings. one set for the ones the children can identify and another for the ones they are still working on.

You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday February 7th ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added Penguin Heart Alphabet Cards.

Tissue Paper Turkey

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.
