Tooth Fairy Letter Match

I made a tooth fairy letter matching activity this week. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and cut them out and laminated them for durability.

I separated the tooth fairy cards from the teeth cards and set them out on the table. You can put as few or as many of the letters out as you wish. For younger children just starting out with letter recognition I usually start with 8-10 letters at a time.

In this activity children pick a tooth fairy card and then find the tooth card with the matching letter and place it on top of the tooth fairy. The cards can be clipped together with clothespins or large plastic paper clips. For a self-checking activity children can clip the tooth card face up on the back of the tooth fairy card.

heart letter and number puzzles for preschool and kindergartren
This week I made heart letter and number puzzles. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and cut them out. I then cut along the line in the center of each heart to make two halves. I also laminated them for durability.

I have included numbers 1-30 as well as upper and lowercase letters. All patterns come in black and white.

In this activity children pick letter or number heart half and then find the other half with the same letter or number and put the two halves together. Play continues until all letters/numbers have been matched.

coffee filter hearts for preschool and kindergarten
We made coffee filter hearts recently for an early learning craft project. They are really easy to make and turn out very colorful and look beautiful hung in windows.

You will need to have coffee filters ... paint daubers or markers ... and a spray bottle filled with water. We just used a small individual size bottle.

Children can free cut the hearts but I have also included a heart pattern that can be used as a cutting guide. The pattern can be printed on cardstock paper ... I printed it on color cardstock to make it easier to see. I folder the heart in half and also the coffee filter and then put the coffee filter inside the heart and cut around the heart pattern.

You will need to put something under the coffee filter before painting is started as the paint will soak through the filter. Children dab paint daubers  on the filter and then spray water over the paint. The paint will spread and blend. Let hearts dry before hanging. You can grab the patterns here and see a video of this project below.

tissue paper heart craft project for preschool and kindergarten
We made tissue paper hearts which is a really great craft project for working on fine motor and scissor skills.  You will need the heart pattern ... tissue paper ... scissors ... glue ... and sequins.

The first step is to print the pattern on cardstock paper and cut it out. Next cut or tear tissue paper into small squares.  Apply glue drops to the inside of the heart and press on the tissue paper squares.

If some of the tissue paper hangs over the heart you can cut off the extra. The last part is to apply glue drops on the tissue paper and press on the sequins. You do not have to add sequins but they are wonderful for fine motor development and also add a nice sparkle to the hearts.

penguin match and munch for letter and number recognition activity for preschool and kindergarten
I made a Penguin Match and Munch for letter and number recognition. I printed the penguin and fish patterns on cardstock paper and the recording sheets on regular paper. I have included both letter and number bones and recording sheets.

I used an exacto knife to cut out the rectangle from the penguin's body. I placed cardboard under the penguin to protect my work surface. I then took an empty box of tissues (I used the long box) and cut the opening to the width of the penguin's rectangle.

​I put self-adhesive velcro dots on the back of the penguin and then put the other half of the velcro set on top of the first set making sure the sticky side was facing up. I then pressed the penguin on the box where it aligned with the opening.

In this activity children pick a letter or number fish and cover up the same letter or number on the recording sheet and then place the fish in the penguin box. If you are not using the recording sheet children would just pick a fish and verbally say the letter or number on the fish before putting it into the penguin box.

This activity is currently located in the member's section which is also where I have added a penguin color match.
