Preschool Powol Packets

Matching games are my preschoolers' favorite types of games, and now that the weather is warmer I have the zoo on my brain! I'm starting to think we might do some kind of safari theme "camp" this spring or summer...  But, in the meantime, I have this fun little safari themed shape matching game! You could cut out the little shapes, and fit them inside the safari animals like puzzle pieces or glue the shapes onto cards and play memory with them This little set includes 12 animals on three pages and 12 shapes on a fourth page.

Welcome to my collection of the Best Picture Books for Preschoolers from 2020! 2020 was unusual in SO many ways, but one thing that was wonderful is the high number of high quality, creative, and amazing picture books for preschoolers!  I am truly delighted to share my choices for the 2020's Best Picture Books for Preschoolers! First, of course, these awards are brought to you by Preschool Powol Packets (your host here!), and Turtle Trails Publishing! Turtle Trails Publishing released A Dinosaur Made Me Sneeze: A Rock Cycle Adventure last year. Even though I think it is one of the best books from 2020, including it in the awards would be a conflict of interest so, instead, I'm sharing it here for you!  A Dinosaur Made Me Sneeze is the hilarious story of how a piece of dust journeyed from millions of years ago to make some modern-day outrageous sneezes! The rock cycle, a crazy skink, and a volcano are just a few of the pieces of the journey! Learn more HERE ! I am organizing t

Did you know that over the last few years, I have shared more than 30 math games for preschoolers...for FREE?!! Most of these games require printing, some need a little cutting, and then you are ready to go!! I decided it would be handy to have a list of all these math games in one spot, so if your preschooler wants a game (or you want to teach something with a game), you can just pick the one you want, print, and go! I've divided them up into three groups: board games, matching games, and "other" games. Don't discount the "other" games--they are AWESOME too! They just don't fit into the other categories!
