Preschool Powol Packets

This week's Virtual Book Club theme is all about Birds, so I am excited to share this {FREE} letter matching bird printable with you! There are loads of ways you can use these little birds and nests: * You can use this as a file folder game--tape the nest pages onto a file folder, cut out the birds, and match them up! * Cut out the individual birds and nests and use the lettered birds to spell your kiddos' names or other words you're working on! * Print the pages, but only use 4-6 birds at a time to review the letters you're working on! * Put the nests in a pocket chart and match the birds to the nests! * Put the nests on the floor and let the kids hop onto them as you call out different letters!

I also have a HUGE set of science and STEM activities based on books here !

My toddler LOVES to join her older siblings to "make things," so this week we joined the rainbow theme with a project specifically designed for her skills: toddler rainbow art! This was perfect for her because it was something she could do independently! She loved touching the different supplies, exploring the textures, experimenting with scissors, and creating her very rainbow colored art! {{Visit this page for our collection of Preschool Rainbow Activities! }} Simple Supplies: * peel and stick foam sheets (we received these to try from Craft Project Ideas, and they are perfect!) * any rainbow colored craft materials (we used craft sticks, pompoms, feathers, stickers, fuzzy sticks, and wiggly eyes) Easy How-to: 1- If you want to cut the foam sheet into a shape or smaller size, do that first! Then peel off the sticky back and place it (sticky side up) in front of your toddler. If they are a little wild and crazy with their craft supplies
