pop its letter and number cards for preschool and kindergarten

The free membership printable this week is Pop Its Letters and Number. The cards are meant to be used with Pop Its fidget toys and are great for letter and number recognition as well as fine motor development. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and cut them out. I then laminated them for durability.

I used a sharpie permanent marker to write letters and numbers on the Pop Its fidget toys. I also have Pop Its that already have the letters and numbers written on them that I purchased from amazon.

In this activity children pick a letter or number card and "pop" the same letter or number on the Pop Its. I am giving away one set of the letter and number Pop Its so be sure to watch the video on how you can enter to win them.

You can grab the patterns below the video of this activity for free until Sunday October 17th ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added Pop Its Sight Word Cards.

teddy bear color match for preschool and kindergarten

The free membership printable this week is Teddy Bear Color Match for color recognition and fine motor development skills. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and cut them out. I then laminated them for durability.

I set the teddy bears and honey pot cards out in two different piles along with some mini clothespins. I purchased the clothepins from amazon and although they are mini we use them for many activities.

In this activity children children find the teddy bear and the honey pot with the same color and clip them together. I have included honey pots with and without color labels.

You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday August 8th ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added teddy bear fine motor counting.

watermelon letter punch for preschool and kindergarten

The free membership printable this week is Watermelon Letter Punch for letter recognition and fine motor development skills. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and cut them out.

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 watermelon. 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 July 18th ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added watermelon number punch cards.

shape scissor skills for preschool and kindergarten

The free membership printable this week is Shape Scissor Skills for scissor control and fine motor skills development. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and cut along the center line on each page.

You can print the patterns on cardstock or regular paper. In the image above I printed the black and white patterns on color cardstock paper. There are single shape cards and double shape cards for children to practice their scissor skills.

In this activity children cut along the dashed lines on each shape card. I have found that using cardstock paper helps keep the paper more rigid for younger children while they are using scissors which is helpful.

The free membership printable this week is Butterfly Letter Cover-Up Cards for letter recognition and fine motor skills development. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them along the center line on each page and laminated them.

We used buttons to use as cover-ups but you can also use pom poms ... play dough ... do-a-dot markers ... or the cover-up circles I have included with the patterns.

In this activity children cover up the same letter that is on the butterfly on each card. I have included black and white as well as part and full color patterns so you have a choice in what to print out.
