🕷 Wack a Bug! 🕷 🔈🔈Sound On🔈🔈 You can bet that if the sun is out so are we!😎 Here is another way to practice letter recognition/sounds with chalk! Simply make some bugs and write some letters on the inside. Give your child a bucket of water and a bug swatter. As you call out a sound or a letter, your child has to dip the swatter in water and then wack the letter bug! It is seriously so much fun 😂.. I definitely got some anger out this morning 😏. ⠀ . . . . . #toddlertimeactivities #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning #letterrecognition #outdoorplay #preschoolmom #preschoolactivities #earlyliteracy #cherishedchildhood #playmatters #learningthroughplay #letterplay #preschoolliteracy #simpleactivities #lettersounds #playoftheday

🐜🕷Draw the Legs on the Bugs! 🕷🐜 The weather has been so great this week! I just can’t bring myself to stay inside, so here is another simple chalk activity we did yesterday! ⠀ I drew bug bodies (just some circles 😅) and wrote numbers in the middle. Aria had to draw that many legs on the outside 🤗. Told you...seriously simple 🙌. While doing this we talked about what kind of bugs have 8 legs, 6 legs etc. since we have finally begun seeing tons of bugs crawling outside. . . . . . #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning #preschoolmom #preschoolactivities #outdoorplay #chalkplay #playoutside #playtolearn #learningthroughplay #bugs #numberplay #earlynumeracy #numberrecognition #onetoonecorrespondence #finemotorskills #prewriting #markmaking #pincergrasp

🌟🌟Letter Sounds Jump🌟🌟 🔈🔈🔈SOUND ON! 🔈🔈🔈 ⠀ This is a super simple way to practice letter sounds! Just write some letters on the sidewalk and call out things that start with those letters with the letter sound! Child has to determine what letter makes that sound and jump to it! #earlychildhoodeducation #earlyliteracy #lettersounds #grossmotorskills #kinestheticlearning #preschoolactivities #preschoolathome #preschoolliteracy #playtolearn #learningthroughplay #playbasedlearning #playbasedpreschool #letterrecognition #soundrecognition #playmatters #earlylearning

🌱 Plant a Bean 🌱 No soil? No problem! Start planting with cotton balls and things from your pantry today! This is something I remembered doing with my mom when I was a little girl! The cotton ball is loose enough that the roots can grow through it AND it is biodegradable so you can re plant it in soil once your plant starts to grow!🌱 Also allows for great observations since you can SEE the roots!🙌🙌🤗🤗 🌱🌱🌱 We found black beans in our pantry so that’s what we planted! You can plant any kind of dry bean you have on hand🙌. 🌱🌱🌱 It took about a week for our beans to sprout and another week for them to start growing...and now it’s growing so fast everyday! Aria thoroughly enjoys checking on her plant everyday, swipe to see her observations! We just replanted our black bean plant in soil over the weekend because the roots were looking a little crowded in the small jar. 🌱🌱🌱 To plant your own beans all you have to do is loosen some cotton balls and lay them down at the bottom of your jar. Put in the beans (2-3) and then Place another loosened cotton ball on top. Make sure this cotton is VERY loose, so you can still see your beans clearly and they can push through once they start growing. Water your bean plant enough so that all the cotton is damp👍🤗. . . . #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning #earlyscience #scienceforkids #preschoolscience #preschoolmom #preschoolathome #preschoolactivities #growingabean #plantsofinstagram #greenthumb #funscience #observationaldrawing #processbased #playbasedlearning #playbased #learnthroughplay #preschoolscience

🎈💆‍♀️Tactile Balloons 💆‍♀️ 🎈 As adults you may be familiar with stress balls that you can squeeze to release tension. Tactile balloons are very similar but easy to make and a great sensory material for children to play with. They also serve as a sensory alternative for children who may not like getting their hands dirty The child can: 👉become familiar with different textures 👉build vocabulary 👉compare and contrast textures 🙌🙌🙌 It can be challenging to fill the balloons and an activity within itself! The way I filled them: 1️⃣Blow the balloon and then let the air out to expand the balloon, making it easier to fill. 2️⃣Insert the funnel into the opening of the balloon and hold tight. 3️⃣Fill it with the filler of your choice 4️⃣Leave a little bit of space to allow for easier tying. Make sure it’s tight so the contents don’t fall out. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ideas for Fillers: 💡Rice 💡Beans 💡Sand 💡Playdough 💡Water beads 💡Corn Kernals 💡 Salt 💡Flour . ⠀ . ⠀ . ⠀ #earlychildhoodeducation #sensoryplay #tactilelearning #preschoolmom #preschoolactivities #sensoryactivities #sensoryplayideas #diyforkids #diy #stressrelief #learnthroughplay #playtolearn

📌📌Make Sets with Thumbtacks📌📌 I know I know I know what you’re thinking, thumbtacks?! Must have lost my mind... and I might have😅... BUT it’s fun, it got my child playing with numbers and I got to sip on my coffee... so I call it a win and of course I had to share 🤗. As always please use your own discretion! ❌ If your kids are still mouthing (even a little) do not try this. ❌ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ All you need: 👉 A piece of foam (we got ours in a package recently!) 👉 Thumbtacks📌 👉 Permanent marker ⭐️⭐️⭐️ What you do: Draw the boxes and write a number in each box. Your child will make a set, adding thumbtacks to represent the number written 🙌. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ This activity is fantastic for: 🙌 Number recognition 🙌 One to one correspondence 🙌 Number Sense 🙌 Fine motor control . . . . ⠀ #earlychildhoodeducation #earlychildhood #earlychildhoodlearning #earlychildhooddevelopment #earlylearning #earlynumeracy #riskyplay #finemotorplay #finemotorskills #finemotoractivity #finemotor #numberskills #numeracy #numberrecognition #numbersense #onetoonecorrespondence #preschoolmom #preschoolskills #preschoolmath #preschoolactivities #preschoolathome #preschoolhomeschool #preschool #simpleactivitiesforkids #learningisfun #makelearningfun #learnthroughplay #playtolearn #playbasedlearning #playbased
