Spring Find It!

A fun take on the Treasure Hunt game. Each child gets a copy of the page to color; a map if you will.

The caregiver/parent/teacher places the picture cards around the room/house. The children color each picture as they find it.

Ideas for easier use: Give children the color page on a clipboard and allow them to circle the items first, then color them when they get back to their seats. Or give them a few crayons (pick certain colors of the day) to carry with them to color as they find their pictures.

Apple Playdough Mats (Large and Small)

I have included 2 sizes of mats here. The first size (Large) is for the Toddlers and younger Preschoolers.  The smaller size is for older Preschool age and above. If your child feels comfortable using one versus the other, by all means use what they feel most comfortable with.

Fall Story Cards

These are great tools to get those creative juices flowing in your beginning writers!

Cut out the story cards, have them put the cards in order of what happens first, second, third and last. Your child can either tell you a story of what is happening or older children can write a sentence for each card.

Apply duct tape all around bag to prevent rips and tears. Child can use fingers or Q-tip to draw. A gently swipe of the hand and they can erase and begin again!

What Do I Wear? Match Game

This activity allows children to match the clothing to the season.

I do recommend laminating the clothing cut-outs so that they last longer.  You can laminate the season sheets and attach adhesive Velcro to the backs of the clothing cut-outs and to the season sheets, or you can put the sheets into clear pocket protectors and just have the children lay the clothing pieces on top.
