Gina Gendron, M.Ed on Instagram: "I used to do this as a center in my kinder classrooms and now I do it at home with my own kiddos!

There is so much good happening here 💫

👉🏽Exposure to color names.
👉🏽Practice with letter names, letter sounds, beginning sounds.
👉🏽Practice with forming letters.
👉🏽Fine motor skills hard at work.
👉🏽Gross motor skills also working hard (sitting, kneeling, stretching, crossing, reaching.)

It’s simple, fun and so very effective!

Anthea | Early Learning Play on Instagram: "•MAGNETIC SIGHT WORDS•

Is your child showing interest in early literacy?

Mr4 has been talking about different letter sounds and recognising different letters through play.

To extend his learning we set up an ‘Magnetic Sight Words’ experience for him.

To recreate this experience all we used were:
🧲 Magnetic letters from @officeworks
🧲 iPad stand from @ikea
🧲 Baking pan
🧲 White paper
🧲 Black marker

Will you try this experience at home?
It only took me less than 5 minutes to set up!

Jamie Robinson on Instagram: "The grass under our playset has been getting a bit on the long side, so we thought, why not cut it using scissors! 🤣

But in all seriousness, this is an awesome way for toddlers to learn how to hold and use scissors. It allows them to learn how to hold and use the scissors, without the hurdle of having to use extra strength to cut through paper. Plus, it’s just FUN to cut the grass!

When I taught kindergarten, it was very evident which kids had experiences with scissors vs the kids who didn’t. As scary as it can be handing your toddler scissors, it’s SUCH an important skill (not to mention it’s great for their fine motor development).

If you have multiple kids, I highly suggest bringing multiple pairs of scissors outside. I could only find one pair and th

Engaging Elodie on Instagram: "Elodie loved our pizza mud kitchen a few weeks ago so this week I reused the ‘pizza bases’ for an indoors activity! 🍕

The cheese is home made playdough (message me if you want the recipe)! And all the toppings are pasta/chickpeas covered in paint.

A lovely activity for developing fine motors skills and creative/imaginary play. 🍕💛

Megan Morris on Instagram: "⭐️ KWIK STIX NAME ACTIVITY ⭐️

Have you used @kwikstixpaint before? They are colorful and vibrant paint sticks that dry within 90 seconds so you can paint without the mess!

I personally love how chubby they are, which makes them PERFECT for preschooler’s little hands. They are a fun and engaging art supply that my students are obsessed with!

Have you used Kwik Stix before? AREN’T THEY AMAZING?!

Louise on Instagram: "Home Corner 🏠

I love how this area has come together and hasn’t cost much at all with lots of donations, including the tea set, plates, cups, baby clothes and the lovely Ikea kitchen. The loose parts is a great addition and it’s been great seeing the children using them in their play.

Resources are shadowed to help the children with tidying up and also matching shapes and colours.

Thanks to @earlyyearsonashoestring for the inspiration of using food packaging. A great way to make use of empty packaging and enhance play.

Lindsey BenGera | Sprinkle in Learning® on Instagram: "Roll and Flip ✨🃏 Roll the dice and flip the number card you rolled. First to flip all cards over first, wins! We used @uno cards, but you can make your own number cards or use number flashcards. I love this simple game because it gave my kids an opportunity to practice turn talking and losing a turn gracefully (if they rolled a number already flipped over).

They are so open-ended! Great for both focused activities and free play. We 🤍 them. I hope you find some of these helpful!

Brittany Bacharach on Instagram: "Parker’s smile says it all!

Cups, tape, and big pom poms (or cotton balls, ping pong balls, etc.) are all you need for this fun game that gets your toddlers and preschoolers moving, playing, and learning.

You can just set it up and let them play however they want, or add in extra learning using one of these ideas below:

🔴 Count your throws or your baskets
🔴 Play against someone
🔴 Write a letter on each cup or piece of tape. Identify the letter when you make a basket.
🔴Do the above with shapes, numbers, or vocabulary words
🔴 Start really close to the cups and take a step back every time you make a basket.
🔴Play music and count how many baskets you can make until the music stops

Save this to try!"

Brittany Bacharach on Instagram: "These red cups we purchased years ago and I can’t even begin to tell you how many times we have brought them out!

Toddler bowling with these cups, lightweight toys, and a ball is such a fun activity to do at home.

You can practice counting, identifying animals, and so much more. Afterwards, just let your toddler play with the supplies- I’m always surprised at just how much FUN they have playing with just cups 🤷🏼‍♀️❤️

You’re going to want to save this one to try!"
