Pasta Ornaments

Grandparents love handmade things from our kids – and truthfully we have much fun every year talking about the ornaments hanging on our tree from years past. These fun dried pasta ornaments from Cutting Tiny Bites would be so simple and cute to make!

Number Line Activity

Learning place value? Here’s a great gross motor version from Hands on As We Grow that will get your kids hopping and brains working on their number line and place values.

Noodle Box Counting

Using leftover carryout boxes, An Idea on a Tuesday pulled together this fun fine motor and math activity for Noodle Box Counting  – doesn’t it look like noodles? Love it!

Preschool Adventure Boxes

Did you see that Little Passports now has a PRESCHOOL Adventure Box? The new monthly packets are geared specifically toward 3-5 year olds. Our kids have loved their global adventures, and if they are anything like those, these will be fabulous! 

50+ Thanksgiving Craft Ideas

Here are 50+ Thanksgiving craft ideas that you can work on this week – and decorate your table with when company comes. Some cute ideas in this roundup from Best Toys For Toddlers.

Scarecrow Letter Patches

The scarecrow letter patch game from Growing Book by Book is a fun (and recycling) way to work on letter recognition with your kids.

Thanksgiving Even/Odd Number Sort

Use the Thanksgiving Number Sort cards to have your child work on sequencing numbers from 1 to 20 or have your child sort the numbers by odd or even. If 20 numbers is too many, choose a handful of numbers and record them on the included mat {great handwriting practice as well}.

Sometimes the titles of these posts crack me up. Preschool and kindergarten crafts and activities can be all across the board. I love how someone can be learning about Vikings, while another family is studying about fall and a fox! Just goes to show the wonderful flexibility we have with our kids and following fun leads when learning!

Rocket Ship Kid’s Craft

Mommy’s Bundle recycled some various materials from home to make this fun rocket ship craft with her boy. The craft was inspired by Creative Galaxy, a new tv show for kids. Love how she extended the learning fun on something her son was enjoying!

Viking Ship Craft

This Viking boat craft from Happy Brown House is all cuteness (but don’t tell the boys I said that). You definitely need adult supervision for this one, but the end result is fabulous!

Being a Yes Mom

If there’s one thing I understand, it’s the dislike that many moms have in the actual process (I’ll raise my hand and say I’m one of them). Royal Little Lambs shares their crazy craft day where she said YES to the mess and had a whole heap of fun (and crafts) to show for it.

Fox Puppet Craft

To go along with their fall learning and the book Fletcher and the Falling Leaves, Joyfully Weary made some fun fox puppets to go along with all of their leaf crafts. Super cute!

That’s the wrap up from last week – can’t wait to see what you all have ready to share this week.
