These Dinosaur Play Dough Counting Mats will help your pre-k kids learn counting skills while playing and exercising their fine motor muscles. These will go great with a Dinosaur Theme. You can also find many more Play Dough Mats here. To prepare these mats, just print and either laminate or slip them in clear page […]

This month, we have a Post Office in our dramatic play center. February is a good month for this because the children “deliver mail” on Valentine’s Day, so it ties in well. Look for more of my Dramatic Play centers here — I’ve been sharing one each month this year. At the bottom of this post, I will […]

The newest set of picture-word cards for the Picture Word Cards collection is the much-requested dinosaurs set! There are actually two sets. One set has 12 dinosaur cards with their looong names and pictures. The other set has a variety of words related to dinosaurs (egg, bone, claw, volcano, etc.) which are shorter and probably easier for prekinder kids. However, […]

Here are some favorite picture books about Valentines Day for Pre-K kids. I only list books my Pre-K students and I truly enjoy and find educational.

Here is my newest set of picture-word cards to add to the Picture Word Cards collection. This set has 13 Arctic animal cards. These word cards would be useful to use along with books and songs about Arctic animals, such as The Three Snow Bears, by Jan Brett and Baby Beluga by Raffi. Using the cards in the classroom: You […]

Here’s a Weather Graph you can print and cut for a simple and quick large group activity. You could use this with a Weather Theme or Winter Theme (or even a Summer theme for those of you who teach “Down Under”). Over the holiday break, I worked on a set of printable graphs that would be […]

Every year, my class makes these wooden star ornaments. I like these because being made of wood, they are more durable than construction paper ornaments, and will hopefully last through the years. The gold paint makes them look a little more “stylish” and hopefully something that a family will enjoy hanging on their tree. I […]
