Apple-Themed Fine Motor Activities

One of my favorite themes in preschool and kindergarten has always been apples.  There are so many different things you can do with apples that are hands-on: apple stamping, apple graphing, apple sorting, and apple tasting!

Back-to-School Fine Motor Activities

Earth Day Exploration Stations or Centers

Earlier this year, I created a set of Kansas Day-themed stations that I absolutely fell in love with.  Similar to my morning work tubs, I really enjoy creating activities that work perfectly in tubs or at centers and their format really allows me to be creative.  With Earth Day coming up, I decided to go a similar route and I created this brand-new Earth Day Exploration Stations/Centers ...

Mermaid Letter Tracing Cards

Hey there!  Today, I wanted to take just a second to share this adorable activity that I made for my three year-old!  She is fascinated by mermaids and we stumbled upon this fun tape at Target that reminded us of mermaids.  I decided to turn it into a hands-on alphabet activity for her. I bought a couple containers of blue and silver glitter and some clear hair gel.  Once we ... Read More about Mermaid Letter Tracing Cards
