Preschool Activities: Use Snacks And Crafts To Teach ABCs

Everyone knows that it is important to teach children the letters of the alphabet. After all, it is clearly an important building block for learning to read and other early education milestones.

Even children who know their alphabet need to be regularly reminded and challenged with the letters in various order.

The challenge is finding a way to teach preschoolers that is both effective and fun. Most early childhood educators do not recommend buying flashcards or expensive educational tools. Effective preschool education makes learning fun and friendly.

There are three simple methods you need to employ for effective preschool learning and these can be done with things you already have in your own home. Young children learn best if you use these three simple methods: see it, say it, experience it.

This means that in order to teach your preschooler the alphabet you need to let them see the letters -- both in order and out of order. Then you must say the letter and the child must also say it. Finally, in order for the child to really understand the letters of the alphabet he must also experience it. This means employing the senses.

You can use food and crafts to help your child experience the letters of the alphabet by seeing the shape and creating the shape in three-dimensions as well as eating food that either starts with the chosen "letter" or is in the shape of the letter.

For example, why not have your child munch on carrots and candy corn while gluing cotton balls into the shape of the letter "C"? Or perhaps blow bubbles, glue beans in the shape of a "B", and then eat banana splits?

Some other ideas include:

W snacks like waffles, whipped cream, and watermelon; Y snacks like yogurt, yellow cake, and yeast rolls; and Z snacks like zucchini bread, Zesta crackers, and zwieback toast.

Making three dimensional art projects using kite strings and kidney beans for "K"; leaves, lace, lima beans, lids, letter stamps, and shoe laces for "L"; and play money, material, macaroni, and moon shapes for "M".

Be creative and let your child's imagination roam free in your kitchen and with your craft supplies. Once you start looking around your home (and grocery store) for alphabet teaching "tools" you might be surprised at how many ways you can teach your child the alphabet.

While teaching your child the alphabet is an important part of teaching your child to read and preparing for their education, it does not need to be difficult, boring, or expensive for you or your child. It can be fun and easy if you use the world around you and foods and crafts you have in your home.

Five Senses - Preschool Activities

The five senses are exciting to learn about because we use them every day. Here are two activities per sense to help you introduce your child to their five awesome senses.

Sight

Flashcards are a great way for your preschooler to utilize their sight. You can make your own flashcards using cardstock paper, markers and crayons. Draw pictures of animals, objects and general people (ex: a dog, a table and a mailman or baby). Hold up each card and ask your child to name the animal, object or person.

Another way to play with our sight sense is the popular "I Spy" series books. Your preschooler will love helping you hunt for the listed items within the books' pages. A well known verbal variation of this game can be altered to better suit pre-school players. You can have your preschooler pick an object and describe it to you based on its exterior (ex: a ball that is red, circular and sparkly).

Sound

Our ability to hear allows us to enjoy music, communicate with one another, and stay safe.

"Name that Sound" is an exciting way to introduce different sounds to preschoolers so that they can learn to identify them. Purchase or create a CD of sounds and play it for your pre-school audience. Rain, horns honking, ocean waves and animal sounds are extremely stimulating. Ask the children to name the sounds they hear as they hear them.

Playing with instruments is another fun activity for preschoolers. They'll delight in hearing the sound each one makes. You may then ask them "What kind of instrument is this and what sound does it make?"

Smell

Playing with scents of all kinds is a fun way to stimulate the sense of smell.

Offer a variety of foods to smell and identify - eyes closed! Or experiment with scents through scratch and sniff books.

You can even make your own scented playdough by baking dough at home and adding different extracts, like peppermint and vanilla. Your child will love helping you make the dough and will delight in the smell of it (be careful of children who may try to eat it!).

Touch

Young children love touching things. How many times have you caught yourself asking your child not to touch something? These fun activities invite your preschooler to touch for play.

Arrange bowls containing items of different textures on a table. Some suggestions are cooked noodles, water, sand paper and cotton balls. Allow your child to feel inside each bowl. Ask them what they are touching and how it feels.

Texture board books are another great opportunity for preschoolers to play around with touching. Make a trip to your local library or bookstore and pick out texture books to read and feel together.

Taste

What better way is there to incorporate learning than through eating?

Prepare small plates of food containing taste bud stimulators. Bitter, sweet, sour and salty are the tongue's major senses. Some great food ideas are lemon wedges, potato chips and assorted candies. Ask what each tastes like as your child tries them.

You can also have your child try different beverages at different temperatures, like cold and warm milk.

Continue to point out when your child is using their senses and they will become more aware of them!

Preschool Calendar Activities - Introducing the Calendar

Preschool is an excellent time to introduce children to the concepts of the calendar, days of the week and months of the year, and what better way to learn about these concepts than through games and activities! The most common and simple of these preschool calendar activities is to chart the month's progress on a large paper calendar posted on the wall.

At the beginning of every month, gather everyone around the large paper calendar on the wall to label it with the important days of the month, such as any special holidays or birthdays occurring within the month. At the end of the day, one special child gets the important job of crossing the day off to get ready for the next day. This can be a reward for cleaning up fastest after a craft, winning a game, or anything else that seems fit.

"Just another Manic Monday..."

Other preschool calendar activities can focus on learning the days of the week. For example, designate one special activity, game, or song for each day of the week. This will help children get accustomed to a routine, which in turn helps them to learn about the weekly routines that will prevail throughout the remainder of their lives. These activities can change monthly so that children don't get too bored with them.

Lesser-Known Celebrations

The calendar can also serve as a skeletal structure for the preschool curriculum, since it's easiest to teach concepts to children when they are happening all around them. After all, it wouldn't really make much sense to teach kids about Christmas in the middle of spring, would it? Sometimes it can be fun to partake in preschool calendar activities to learn about some of the lesser-known celebrations of each month. This way, children are exposed to more than just the usual "Christmas, Valentine's Day and Easter" triumvirate of holiday celebrations.

For example, more preschools are learning about February as Black History Month. However, February is also Library Lovers Month, Children's Dental Month, and National Hobby Month. All three of these themes can provide a wealth of fun activities and games for preschoolers.

For example, Library Lovers Month can be celebrated with a special field trip to the school or local public library to meet the children's librarian and for a storytelling afternoon. In Children's Dental Month, the focus can be on proper oral hygiene by learning the proper ways to brush and floss. This could include a visit from a dentist, if possible. National Hobby Month gives children the chance to bring in an item that showcases one of their hobbies and present it to the class in a show-and-tell format.

When looking for celebrations or holidays from the calendar to bring into the classroom for preschool calendar activities, the emphasis should be on fun and enrichment to the curriculum in general. Although some days can almost stupid, they are still a great opportunity to learn new things on the calendar.

Did you know that the 4th Thursday in the month of January as "Clashing Clothes Day" known? Ask the children to school in their clothes are in competition as a way to learn about differences and things that do not fit easily together.

Preschool Circle Time Activities

First thing a preschool teacher needs to do, is to get a carpet or rug and make your circle on it. It needs to big enough to hold all students, but small enough to have students and teacher close together.

Staring off your preschool day with circle time is a great way to transition your preschoolers into the learning day. However, you can devise a circle time at just about any time of the day in your preschool classroom.

When your preschool students arrive, you probably have them do a little free play as they wait for all students to show up. When all are there, now your preschool can start your circle time!

You may have a bell to ring, or even play a song to let your preschoolers know that it is now circle time.

Each day you will choose different preschoolers in your class to lead all circle time activities. I would choose a different student for each activity, but many preschool educators choose one student to all circle time activities.

Instead of sitting down first, you can call one of your preschoolers to get a flag and they can recite the pledge. Then all students sit.

The Calendar and Preschool Circle Time

A calendar for preschool circle time is a must. You can get a large blank one where each day and month can be either pinned up or otherwise attached, and taken down when the month changes. Many preschool instructors use pointers for some of their circle time activities.

If it is a new month, the name of the month should be written on a card, shown to the students, and all say the name. Then choose a preschooler to stick it on the calendar. If it is not a new month, your preschoolers repeat the name when you point at it.

You can do the day of the week next. These will probably be permanent on your calendar. Use the pointer or choose a preschooler to point to all days and say the names. Ask what day is today.

Next up for your little preschoolers is the numerical date. Again, these are numbers that can be pinned up and taken down when the month changes. Choose a preschooler to put the number up. Show it first, have them repeat it.

The Weather and Preschool Circle Time

Have a chart similar to a calendar. Have many cut outs to represent rain, sun, clouds, cold, etc. Choose a preschooler to pick what the weather is and put this up.

Other Preschool Circle time Activity Suggestions

Have a large board or something similar that you can post things on a daily basis. Have a good selection of preschool songs and music.

- Play a song that has motions. Very important for preschoolers to be active.

- Play a learning song that preschoolers can learn quick and sing along.

- Have large letter cut outs. Pick a 'letter of the day' to be repeated by your preschoolers and put up on the board.

- Have large preschooler appropriate words on cards. Choose a word of the day and let a preschooler put this on the board as well.

- During preschool circle time, it is a great idea for all students to say the names of everyone as you or a student points to them.

- Preschool circle time can also be used to read a story. Have lots of preschool books!

- Make a magic wand. Something simple, a small stick with a star on the end. Choose a preschooler to use this magic wand and point to students one by one to return to their seats or go to the next activity.

These are just a few simple suggestions for your preschool circle time. Hopefully it will encourage you to come up imaginative ways to conduct your preschool circle time and make it meaningful as well as fun!
