Pre K Fun Activity: Learn the Colors While Having Fun!

Hi!

Despite (me)  being still on vacation mode, school is just around the corner, and I thought I could share a fun PreK  level activity wth you guys! 
It's a super cute activity that would be fun to have on hand for a car activity or while waiting at the doctor's office. I hope you like it! 
You can find more of these fun and educational material in at Education.com I love peeking tehre for interesting stuff!

So, let's get started!!!!

Color Names

Help your child learn colors in a bright, engaging game using craft sticks and markers! The sticks are separated into two groups. One group has the name of a color written on it in black marker, the other group of sticks will have a variety of designs or patterns created in individual colors. Your child will have to pair them up, and she'll learn the colors while she makes her matches. How fun is this??!!

What You Need

• 14 craft sticks 
• Markers, colors of the rainbow plus black 

What You Do:

1. Separate the sticks into two piles, seven sticks in each group. 
2. With the first group of sticks, assign one color to each stick and encourage your child to create a different design or pattern on each stick using that one color. Some example of patterns you could use are zigzags, stripes, and circles. 
3. On the second group of sticks, have her write the name of each color with a black marker. You may have to help her spell the color names correctly. 
4. Mix the sticks up and ask her to pair the colors names up with the appropriate colored designs. 
5. When she's finished, have her read the names of the colors on the sticks while she looks at the color patterns. 

If your child is just starting the process of recognizing color names, you may want to provide a chart for her to use as a reference. Just write out the color names and draw a box with the matching color beside it. Using a reference tool will help increase her confidence as she's doing the activity, and the more she plays the quicker she'll be able to recognize the color names.
I am sure this will be an awesome fun , engaging and bonding moment with any PreK little one!
Enjoy!

Prayer sticks

Hi!

I just made these "prayer sticks" for Sofia . A helpful tool to make her organize her ( cute) little prayers better :0)

At every prayer we take 2 or 3 sticks for her to add to her traditional usual requests.

Very easy !

Preschooler Tools III- Cereal Box Puzzle

Hi!

A very, very easy and cheap game you can make for your preschooler....Take an empty cereal box, a pen, pair of scissors and after 3 and a half minutes ( if you can cut faster than me maybe in less time!!) you have a letter puzzle for your child to use, no guilt if a piece goes missing, it is disposable!

 Instant gratification!

Now go cut some cereal boxes, gals!!

Preschooler Tools II- Word Eggs

HI!

Going ahead with my series "preschooler tools, I am so happy to have found this in Pinterest, from the blog Living and Learning Now . I knew I would be doing  it , as it is so easy and honestly, genius!!

All you need are those (many) left over plastic easter eggs (I am sure you have  at home) and small stickers.

I also had this 3 parts eggs , so I had this idea of using separate letters and a sharpie pen, it worked perfect as well. Just allow the ink to the dry before using it.

Sofia LOVES it, it makes the thing we call "word" make sense to her ( letters that come together), is spacial and she almost reads them all already!! She gets so excited when she gets it right!

This is it! creative, easy,  useful and cheap!! Just the way I love it!
