Keep checking back as I will be continually adding suggestions to this page!
The Early Years (Preschool - Kindergarten)
Singing and dancing help keep the littles engaged, promote gross motor development, increase memory, and help with sequencing skills. Make sure to add them in as much as possible! Here are some great activities to try:
Colors
Finger painting.
Puffy paint. (Shaving cream mixed with white glue and food coloring.)
Anything you can find multiple colors of can be used for color sorting. (Pom-poms, pony beads, Lego, colored pasta, buttons, water beads, just to name a few.)
Shapes
Making shapes out of playdough, popsicle sticks, and pipe cleaners.
Sorting block shapes.
Matching objects of different shapes to a picture of a shape.
Identifying shapes by touch only.
Sponge painting with sponges of different shapes.
Shape sorting miscellaneous objects into different piles.
Creating shapes on the floor inside with tape or outside with chalk.
Letters, Numbers & Counting
Making letters and numbers out of playdough, popsicle sticks, and pipe cleaners.
Writing letters and numbers in various mediums, like shaving cream, sand or rice.
Letter and Number Magnets on a whiteboard or cookie sheet.
Creating letters and numbers with Lego, blocks, magnetic tiles. (Bonus, use translucent material on a light table for extra sensory input!)
Matching dominoes to number tiles.
Digging for letters and numbers in a bin full of rice or sand and sorting them into cups labeled accordingly.
Creating letters with their bodies.
