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!

Preschooler Tool I- From Stamp Packaging to Dry Erase Board

Hi!
Here we go! as I said here, I love to create simple,  cheap but nice things for my daughter to learn at the same time she plays.
I had this Stampology packaging that came with a set of stamps I bought ( yes, I love scrapbooking and will post  stuff here as well!) which was so nice and small and transparent...humm..you know by now that I ALWAYS check things before throwing into the garbage -what can I do with this? humm..hummm...think...more humm...think....AHA! I do this A LOT!
So, keeping my routine I went through the mental process and thought it would be a perfect mini erase board for Sofia to use in the car, church, plane, travels, etc...

What I used:

1. A stamp hard plastic packaging
2. Free alphabet sheets, the "Itsy Bitsy book", from Kidzone 
3. Dry erase pens
4. Velcro circles
5. Scrapbook paper




 Remove the info paper from inside and cut a piece of scrapbook paper to replace it
 Attach the velcro circle to the pen and to the board

 Fold the pages in half and put them inside the package


 Not much to explain, uh? it is totally straight forward!
 The happy student







 Happy learning to all little ones!
