Early exposure to academics can help children perform better and feel more confident when they enter kindergarten, which is why preschool is so important. I have created some simple resources to supplement your (and my own) toddler’s preschool learning. Whether it is incorporated into your curriculum, used as an introduction, or just for fun, these resources will help you and your child develop a love of learning. This week’s focus is: Letter B, Number 2, Triangle, Yellow

Main Concepts Printable Packet
Print, cut, and staple/glue. (If your child is able, have them help.) Then, have them color or dot paint while discussing each preschool concept. Currently, we are working toward tracing the letters/shape and using dots to count on the number. You can do this all in one lesson or have your toddler do one page each day for each concept. *Print on cardstock to create flashcards for later!*
Preschool Learning Activities
Letter Search: Find the B
Use a puzzle, alphabet chart, or anything with words including the letter B and model pointing it out. Then help your child also point out the letter B. If they are picking it up quickly, have them do some on their own or find letter Bs around the house.

Count to: 2
Use toys or blocks. Set out one of each toy or block and model counting to two. Then help your child also count out two as they move or touch the toy. If they are picking it up quickly, have them do some on their own of find items of only two around the house.

Sun Shapes Preschool Craft: Triangle
Print and explain the two shapes that create a sun. Then explain again why they are that shape (triangle = three sides, circle = no sides). Help your child color, cut and glue the while continuing to identify the shapes. If they are picking it up quickly, ask them to “teach” you the difference between the shape and identify them on the craft or around the room.

Color Identification: Yellow & Bubble Review
Similar to the letter activity, use a seek and find type book (or any picture book) to point out yellow objects. Model until your child seems to be picking it up and have them continue on their own. They can then move on to find yellow objects around the house to make it more challenging. To add some outside learning, we used our yellow bubble wand to blow some bubbles and reviewed the circle shape from last week.
