✨✨Beginning Letter Sound Match✨✨ I think I mentioned this before but Aria has recently shown a huge interest in letters and the sounds they make. She loves saying the name of an object and determining which letter it starts with. (I think I’m partly to blame because I get so extremely excited when she does it😸) ✨✨✨ This is a super simple activity to set up with whatever you have in your house. ✨✨✨ 💞💞Tips:💞💞 🙌 I tried picking items that she would be interested in like Peppa Pig characters, Paw Patrol characters, animals etc. 🙌 I picked ten letters to keep it simple and not too intimidating. 🙌 I didn’t pick any Vowels, as they can be tricky. 🙌 I used @picassotiles to give the letter a specific space, so the items don’t roll around the table 👉 You can definitely just write the letters on a big piece of paper or post it notes. #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning #earlyliteracy #earlyliteracymatters #lettersounds #peppapig #pawpatrol #learningthroughplay #playtolearn #play #preschool #preschoolactivities #preschoolliteracy #preschoolactivity #funwithletters #preschoolmom #playmatters #busytoddler #picassotiles #lockdownactivities #lockdownactivitiesforkids #fdk #literacybehaviours

🌼🌸Build a Flower 🌼🌸 Aria and I have been visiting the @scholasticinc website once a day and partaking in their daily activities. They have a new “lesson” every weekday, where they present one fiction and one non fiction book on a particular topic and a couple activities to go with it. 🌸🌸🌸 After completing Day 2 on the topic of flowers, I set up this craft as a follow up activity. It encouraged Aria to label the different parts of the flower and also work on her letter sounds and labeling. For example: P for Petal; S for Stem I did do hand over hand with her for a couple of the letters! 🌸🌸🌸 Before starting the activity, we looked at the books once again and she had also watched a Cat in the Hat episode on flowers during breakfast! Thanks @pbskids !! 🌸🌸🌸 I don’t usually pre cut the shapes for her crafts but my aim for this activity was building vocabulary rather than fine motor so I did pre cut them the night before and had them set for her to work with in the morning. I did still give her some more scraps of paper and scissors to add anything if she wanted and she added grass!🌱 . . . #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning #earlyliteracy #earlyliteracymatters #preschool #preschoolactivities #preschoolteacher #preschoolathome #preschoolart #preschoolhomeschool #preschoolactivity #preschoolliteracy #cutandpaste #flowers #spring #learningthroughplay #playtolearn #play #playmatters #buildingvocabulary #vocabulary #conversationwithkids #buildaflower #partsofaflower #artforkids #lockdownactivities #scholastic #bookinspiration #bookinspiredplay #finemotorplay

🎨🎨 Chalk Paint 🎨🎨 A little motivation for our neighbours 💕💕 ❤️🎨❤️🎨 We were getting tired of playing with the same old chalk, bubbles and bikes outside so we decided to try something new and created some chalk paint! It is SO easy and so much fun! 🎨💕🎨💕 All you need is: 👉1 cup Corn starch 👉1 cup Water 👉Food colouring 👉Containers 👉Paint brushes 💕🎨💕🎨 What you do: 1️⃣ Mix the Corn starch and water together in a bowl until it’s smooth. 2️⃣ Divide the mixture into three separate containers. 3️⃣ Add your choice of food colouring to the three different containers and stir. ➡️you can make as many or as little colours as you want 🤗 💕💕💕 🌀🌀The colours brighten as they dry on the side walk 🙌🙌🌀🌀 . . . #rainbowhope #motivationalquotes #lockdownmotivation #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning #outdoorplay #getoutside #spring #chalkpaint #staystrong #preschool #preschoolactivities #preschoolmom #preschoolactivity #preschooloutdoorplay #homeschool #earlyliteracy #diy #lockdownactivities #busytoddler #play #playmatters #colours #learningthroughplay #toddlersofinstagram #playaccountsconnect

🔢 Cheerio Count 🔢 This proved to be a snack and activity in one 😄. I’m pretty sure more Cheerios ended up in her tummy than on her paper, we had to refill the bowl more than a couple times 🤣. ✅✅✅Also I have to say Aria did this activity over the course of the day and not all at once! We just left it out on her table and whenever she felt like it, she would go over and do another number or two, which is totally fine! I never force her to sit down and complete something she has no interest in doing at that point in time. She completed the activity in her own time, when she felt like doing it and she still got all the benefits! 🙌👍✅✅✅ 🤗🤗🤗 This activity is fantastic for : 👍One to one correspondence 👍Hand eye coordination 👍Number recognition 👍Fine motor control and strength 👍Introduction to wet glue 🤗🤗🤗 All you need: 👉White/clear glue 👉Paper 👉Marker 👉Cheerios . . . #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning #earlynumeracy #earlynumeracyskills #numberskills #onetoonecorrespondence #handeyecoordination #counting #numberrecognition #playtolearn #play #learningthroughplay #playmatters #simple #simpleactivities #cheerios #preschool #preschoolmath #preschoolnumbers #preschoolathome #preschoolmom #preschoolactivities #preschoollife #homeschool #busytoddler #lockdownactivities

🎨Magformer Shape Paint 🎨 A spin off of colour by number, just a simple colour by shape setup. You definitely don’t need Magformers for this activity I just incorporated them to make it look more exciting 😄 You can simply just draw shapes on the paper and then draw a legend on the side for them as such : 🔵 🔻 🔶 I love watching Aria do such activities because you can really see her brain working. She’ll pick up a colour and then look at the legend and then her paper and proceed. It’s awesome to see her processing information and using it to complete a task! 🙌🙌🙌 . . . #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning #earlymath #mathskills #shapes #shapeactivities #shapesforkids #magformers #playtolearn #learningthroughplay #play #playmatters #shapeplayactivities #colours #colourbyshape #preschool #preschoolactivities #preschoolathome #preschoolmom #preschoolmath #preschoolteacher #busytoddler #keepthembusy #lockdownactivities #simpleactivities #painting #finemotorskills #finemotoractivity #finemotor #finemotorplay

👻👻Playdough Monsters👻👻 This is a great way to play with playdough in a unique way and encourages a lot of imaginative play! Swipe to see how I set up the invitation! 👉 🤪👻🤪👻 You can use anything you have around the house like: 👉beads 👉pom poms 👉buttons 👉string 👉googly eyes 👉 pipe cleaners 👉 gems 👉feathers etc, 🤪👻🤪👻 Then let your imagination run wild! 🤪👻🤪👻 This activity is also fantastic for practicing fine motor skills. Pushing the small pieces into the playdough and pulling them back out strengthens the pincer grasp! . . . #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning #finemotorskills #finemotorplay #finemotordevelopment #finemotor #finemotoractivity #finemotoractivities #imaginativeplay #playdough #playdoughfun #play #playmatters #playtolearn #learningthroughplay #playdoughtray #playdoughmonsters #preschool #preschoolactivities #preschoolathome #preschoolmom #keepthembusy #lockdownactivities #imagination #playwithplaydough #loosepartsplay #looseparts #loosepartsexplorartion
