It is full of hands on math, literacy, and writing activities for preschool, preK, and kindergarten students. Be sure to scroll to the end for a fun FREEBIE! Polar Animals Preschool Pack Practice shapes with these shape tracing mats. Use goldfish, play doh, or wiki sticks to outline each shape. Penguin measurement- use ice cubes, cotton balls, or pom poms to measure and compare the sizes of each penguin. Waddle and rhyme- this is a gross motor rhyming game! Counting Mats- Show each number in the ten frame, trace the number, and write the number. Fine Motor Color Match- Match buttons or pom poms to the fish of the same color. Sliding Seal Addition - Roll two dice, add the dice together, and slide the seal to the sum. Beginning Sound Match- Use linking shapes to match each picture to the correct beginning sound. Iceberg Counting- Count from 1-10 or 1-20. Shape Penguin Match Sensory Bin Fishing for Syllables Pre-writing lines- Trace each line with dry erase marker or cover with loose parts to practice the left to right progression. Sticker Cutting Strips- My boys love using scissors, and sticker cutting strips are such an easy way to practice cutting skills. Stick stickers in a row with some spacing in between each sticker. Then, cut in between each sticker! Iceberg writing tray- fill a tray with salt and trace each letter. This pack also has 10 no prep pages, just print and go! Hope you all enjoy the rest of your winter break, and this can provide lots of fun for your kiddos in January! Polar Animal Preschool Pack Polar Animal STEM Tray- This was the fan favorite this week! We used popsicle sticks, plastic shot glasses, polar animal figures (Toobs from Michaels), plastic ice cubes (Dollar Tree), gems (Dollar Tree), and snowflake gems (Hobby Lobby). My boys (3 and 6) went to town building and creating all sorts of structures. I LOVED watching them! We will be doing this again, for sure. Polar Animal Icy Painting- We love painting ice. Super simple. Just use watercolors and paint the ice! Polar Animal Oobleck- Cornstarch and water aka Oobleck, is always fun and MESSY!!!! It was a perfect way to wrap up our theme.
