Now that spring is officially here, there are SO MANY fun themes we want to do! Both my kiddos love pond life, so we thought pond would be a fun theme to explore. These printable pages and activities come from my Pond Preschool Pack in my TPT shop. Pond Preschool Pack Here is a peek inside the pack! Frog Number Puzzles- Count the frogs on the ten frame. Match ten frame to the number. Rhyming Wheels- Identify the pictures that rhyme with the center picture. Use a clothespin or counter to mark the rhyming pictures. Jumping Frog Measurement- Measure how high each frog can jump with unifex cubes. Counting Ducks- Pick a counting card and count ducks into the pond. Frog Shapes- Build each shape frog with play dough or Wikki Stix. Build a Letter- Use loose parts, like gems or rocks to build each letter. Fish Counting- Use goldfish crackers to count to 20! Comparing Numbers- Use goldfish, rocks, ducks, or frogs to count each number. Compare numbers. Frog Alphabet Match- We made a sensory tray with blue beans. Place the letter cards in the sensory bin. Pull out a card and cover that lily pad with a counter. Fishing for Sounds- Go fishing! What does the picture show? Mark the beginning sound on the recording page. Lily Pad Hop- Have your students, or toy frogs, hop along the lily pad alphabet. Squish Bag- Squirt blue paint into a bag. Trace each letter for writing practice. Frog Addition- Spin each spinner. Add the numbers together. Color Match- Spin the spinner. Cover a fish with that same color. I hope you all enjoy this theme as much as we have! Pond Preschool Pack Here are some other fun ideas we used with this theme!! Pond Play Dough Tray- We made blue and green play dough and added in foam lily pads, ducks (from the Dollar Tree), rocks, frog figures, and gems! I always love seeing their creativity with loose parts and play dough! Pond Slime- We used blue glue to make this batch of slime and it was a HIT! Pond Water Play- We used foam lily pads and I wrote a number on each one. Frogs, ducks, and blue water made this bin a lot of fun for my boys. Here is a fun freebie for you! Alphabet Match Freebie- Complete each puzzle by matching the uppercase and lowercase letters. Grab it HERE.
