Wizard of Oz Preschool Pack ~ Free Printables!

Wizard of Oz Preschool Pack Button
A reader emailed and asked if I would consider putting together a Wizard of Oz Preschool Pack. While we haven’t seen the movie, I did find a very low-key book for preschoolers to use.

The Wizard of Oz, retold by Carol Ottolenghi will work great for this unit {not a scary version although the Wicked Witch of the West is in the book}. The preschool pack itself is low key too and focuses primarily on the four main characters: Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion. The clip art from JD Digi Designs via My Grafico was just too cute too!

The Wizard of Oz Preschool Pack includes vocabulary cards {1 and 2 part}, beginning sound cards, tracing strips, letters D and  tracing pages, fraction matching, a ‘find-the-word’ story sheet, counting by 2’s, a story summary sheet, ‘find the difference’ page, and more.

Short and Long Vowel Picture Cards ~ Free Preschool Printables

Short and long vowel picture cards

The Short and Long Vowel Picture Cards are designed to help you work with your child to identify the beginning short and long vowel sound in words. Each vowel in the sets includes three picture cards to go along with that beginning vowel sound.

Help your child match the picture cards to their beginning vowel sound. You can also use the picture cards to practice identifying objects with your child. The crisp white backgrounds on the Vowel Picture Cards, allow little ones to focus on the actual object that is being talked about.

The Vowel Picture Cards were designed to go along with the Consonant Picture Cards that I shared some time ago, so be sure to download those as well! Now you’ll have a full set of ABC beginning sound cards to use with your kids ~ and they are all free!

Lowercase Letter Tracing Cards ~ Free Preschool Printables

Lowercase Letter Collage

 


Last week I shared the Uppercase Letter Tracing Cards with you all and this week I have the Lowercase Letter Tracing Cards to share with you as well. These cards are a great ‘take-along’ activity or just for everyday practice for letter practice and beginning sounds. To use, print the cards in this set onto cardstock, laminate, and cut along the line to separate the cards.

 

The Lowercase Letter Tracing Cards also include a few additional cards for your child to work on letter formation {see below}.

image

Punch a hole in the top left corner of each card and put onto a jump ring {key ring ~ see key ring in carousel below}. Let your child use a dry erase marker or vis-à-vis marker to trace the letters and write their own. If you use a dry erase marker, the letters will wipe off easily, while a vis-à-vis marker may require more scrubbing to remove {but will not smudge while your child is writing}.

Pond Life Preschool Pack ~ Free Preschool Printables

Pond Life copy
 
We had several great pond books that are sitting in my pile to read with Kaleb. With a creek nearby and several of these animals and such for us to examine, I thought it would be fun to put this together for us to study together. We’ll be using the books In the Pond by Anna Milbourne and All Eyes on the Pond by Michael Rosen as the main part of our study.

This clip art was just begging to be used!! :) We’ve watched the Peter Pan movie enough times and I found a great Peter Pan go-along book, so this will be a unit that we’ll be doing in the near future. I was really excited to add some ‘telling time’ pieces to this pack, since Hook is so afraid of the ticking clock!

Here’s a quick peek at the Peter Pan Preschool Pack ~
