And it's finally here! Our Summer Preschool and Kindergarten Math and Literacy Centers for all the summer-themed activities you need this school break. The learning pack contains 30 activities and it includes activities for improving fine motor skills, color matching, learning numbers, letters, phonics, and much much more!
Below are some of the activities included in this amazing learning pack.
DOT PINEAPPLE
Pineapple always reminds me of beaches and tropical places. So this is such a great addition in our summer themed activities, putting glass gems/nuggets into colored pineapples!
If these gems are not available, you can use stickers, counters or do-a-dot markers to cover the circles. This activity set is great for fine motor skills, and color recognition.
SUMMER FACES AND EMOTIONS
Look for the matching facial expression and mark it with a counter or peg. Kids will be attracted to these fun and catchy cards, with cute and funny faces in time for summer.
Vito enjoyed looking at the emotions on the illustrations, identifying whether it is a sad face, happy face, scared, surprised etc. He would play around and copies the expressions as well.
SUMMER PICTURE DOUGH MATS
Create summer elements and icons with playdough and the mats. This is an absolute favourite not just by Vito but by our followers too!
LEMONADE TEN FRAMES
Ten frames for counting activities. Again, use any counters or glass gems for this activity. The child can also form the numbers with playdough.
COCONUT LEAVES COUNTING
Another counting activity included in our set that your kids will enjoy, adding palm leaves on the coconut tree.
The objective here is for the child to place the right number of leaves into the tree. How cute are these coconut trees?
WATERMELON NUMBER REPRESENTATIONS
Being able to identify the different number representations is the main objective of this activity. Kids love watermelon and this will totally attract their attention. Learn what's number 3 in the form of ten frames, finger counting, tally counting and dice count with this fun sorting activity.
UPPERCASE AND LOWERCASE MATCH
This turned out so gorgeous! I wanted to wear all these flip flops!!!
This is straight forward, cut out the pieces and match uppercase letters to lowercase letters.
Note that you don't need to give your child all of the 26 sets, start with a few number of sets and add more as the child progresses.
PATTERNING
Patterning is one of the foundation of math and it starts by giving the child opportunities to identify and create those patterns. You can use pompoms, glass gems, crayons, erasers or any manipulative available.
ICE CREAM BEGINNING LETTER SOUND
Invite your kids to make ice cream this summer. This is beginning letter sound from A to Z sorting activities with a twist!
The child will name the pictures in the ice cream scoop and identify the beginning sound. He/she will place the ice cream on the cone to which it belongs.
CVC WORD AND PICTURE MATCH SUNGLASS PUZZLES
Assemble the sunglasses by matching the CVC words to its pictures.
TWENTY FRAMES POPSICLES
