| Posted: 14 Apr 2021 06:46 AM PDT Earth Day is celebrated on the 22nd of April across the world. Do you also participate? Plan on adding these fun and FREE Earth Day number mats to your preschool learning plans!  Work on number sense up to number 10 with your preschoolers using these Earth Day numbers mats! It can be used with playdough, or, a dry-erase marker with counting manipulatives. How to prepare this activity:Print the Earth Day number mats and laminate or use dry-erase pockets to make it more durable. Provide either playdough(we used blue and green here for obvious reasons, but any color will do), or, dry-erase markers together with manipulatives like pompoms, mini erasers, beads, buttons or anything you have readily available. TIP: Add opportunity for fine motor skill practice by adding plastic tweezers/tongs to pick up the pompoms. How to use the printables:Pick a number mat. When you use a dry-erase marker and manipulatives: Trace the numeral and number name with the marker. Count the pictures. Then, add the manipultives while counting on the ten frame, from left to right. We do it in this manner because we train the eyes to follow the direction we use for reading too. If you decide to use playdough, form a piece of playdough into a snake, then form the number by filling the numeral. (This is the easiest way we have found to form a number in one go.) Roll balls of playdough to show the number on the ten frame. Again, moving from left to right. Remember to count the pictures too! What a fun way to work on numbers, number sense and counting too! Whether you decide on using playdough or counting manipulatives, I am sure your preschoolers will love this activity for Earth Day! Grab you free set of printables now and save it for the month of April!

| Posted: 14 Apr 2021 06:37 AM PDT The alphabetical order skill, or alphabetizing, is simply knowing the letters of the alphabet in order from A - Z. This literacy skill might sound unimportant in modern days, but it is still relevant. A fun way to teach alphabetical order is with the Alphabet Song. Use the alphabet song to find the missing letters in this printable flowers alphabetical order activity!  We use alphabetical order in every day life. Think about finding a number or a song on your phone. Or organizing files on your computer. This skill is definitely still relevant today. Teach it today with our flowers alphabetical order activity and the alphabet song! How to prepare this activity:Simply print our free flowers alphabetical sheets at the bottom of this post. Laminate the sheets if you want it to be reusable. Provide upper/lower case letters. We used the craft foam kind here. Or simply write the missing letters with a dry-erase marker. Cut the cards and you are ready to start the fun learning! How to use the cards:There are lower case and upper case missing letter cards, plus cards that have the full alphabet. If your child is not yet proficient in recognising the missing letters, start with the cards that have no missing letters and sing the alphabet song while pointing at the correct letters. Then move onto finding the missing letters. Decide if you want to only use lower case or upper case or a combination of both. (This will depend on which format your child is proficient in.) Missing letters at the beginning of a card is more difficult to find. But, even if you have to sing the alphabet song over and over, your child will get it right! You can also practice matching upper and lower case letters to each other using the full letter cards. See image below: Practice letter recognition and alphabetical order(alphabtizing) with our pretty flower letter cards!
