When it comes to planning playful learning activities for preschoolers, it isn’t one size fits all! Our preschool activities give you the resources you need to be successful! Preschoolers are naturally inquisitive and curious students who are dying to explore and find out answers in all areas of science learning.
Preschool teachers and parents, like yourself, need to have preschool activities for lesson plans that are easy for young students to understand, many who are not yet reading, and gives them the opportunity to spend some time playing!
PRESCHOOL ACTIVITIES FOR PLAY AND LEARNING!
PRESCHOOL LEARNING ACTIVITIES
Your time is limited, so it’s important that your preschool activities for the school year and beyond are easy to set-up and provide valuable learning experiences for the youngest students.
Create a life long love of learning for your preschooler with simple learning activities that create a sense of joy! There are many categories of preschool activities including math, science, sensory play, nature, and literacy activities.
PLAYFUL LEARNING
We have found so many fun ways to play and learn together! Playful learning is about creating joy, wonder, and curiosity. Developing this sense of joy and wonder starts at a young age and adults are a big part of it.
Plus, many of our favorite preschool activities can be easily changed up from holiday to holiday or season to season with the addition of themed props and accessories.
You can set up invitations to discover and explore as opposed to simply providing immediate entertainment.
- This fosters a huge sense of success in young learners when they make a new discovery or find something that piques their curiosity. Undoubtedly they will want to show it to you over and over again.
- Many of the early foundations in literacy, science, and mathematics can be achieved with playful learning activities instead of worksheets at a table.
- Among the many benefits of this hands-on approach include improved social skills and language development.
Kids love to share what they are doing with you. If you listen and ask questions they will too! If you encourage them to think about an idea, you will be amazed at what they can come up with.
- What do you think will happen if…
- What is happening…
- What do you see, hear, smell, feel…
- What else can we test or explore?
