Toddlers and Twos Storytime

We are having so much fun reading

and

If you haven't try these books with your toddler

I would recommend you to do so

they are so much fun!

I started a book activity on monday with these 2 books

and my little ones (at school)

do every yoga and stretch movement

as I flip the page and read it to them,

so far they have asked me to read again and again,

and I am sure they'll ask for it

the rest of the week :)

Thanks for reading my blog :)

Brown Bear, Brown Bear

Me and Marie Learning is having a Brown Bear link party

and since I have a few printables to share

I chose this one for now, as you can see is a little printable book

that the kids can color and practice their color name writing also

you can get this printable here

Please enjoy :)

Peter Rabbit Sequence Cards

I also have some Peter Rabbit sequency cards.

You can help your preschooler

develop good listening skills

which at the same time helps them

develop good language and reading skills

just by retelling simple stories in sequence.

Enjoy!

Peter Rabbit Flannel Board

I also have a cute Peter Rabbit Flannel Board Story here

with the pieces that goes with it :)

I'm sure your kids will enjoy it,

flannel board are great for children to learn new words,

songs, rhymes and hear stories.

Tales of Peter Rabbit

I've been wanting to make these for a while

they are called books in a bag, story stretchers,

literature activities, etc. However you want to call them,

they are the best way to help your child enjoy books.

So for my first one this season I have chosen

Peter Rabbit, starting with an awesome

lapbook from homeschool share

and a little Peter Rabbit song book found here

and also a cute review of what the book is about

together with a recipe and a list of words to know here

it's just a start, I'll be having more as soon as I have

a little free time :)

Personal life is taking over without any fun lol

Enjoy please! AND if you have any books in mind PLEASE

let me know I'll try my best to find activities related to your

book of request or if I have the time and creativity I'll make

some of my own.

Thanks so much for reading my blog :)

Bear Snores On

This is my first on fun freebies

I decided to do it based on a children's books

Bear Snores On

since at school we are doing bears and hibernation this week

I have uploaded a matching game,

sequencing activity, and word walls

based on the book

also here you can find a bear template to make a puppet

and here are some bears songs and poems.

I also found some questions about the book here

Enjoy!

The Grouchy Ladybug

this is the book we are starting with

we chose this book since we were finishing

with the letter L, I though it goes great with it

specially this time of the year, when we are finding

quite a few ladybugs in the garden.

As we are reading this book

we decided to make this craft

that I found in my files

this ladybugs made out of paper plates

have the number hidden underneath the wings

which match to the number of dots (stars)

that the ladybug has

great way to practice numbers!

Then comes some puzzles that I found in the net

and here you'll find the second puzzle


I also have some sizing ladybugs in my files

children can put these 6 ladybugs

from smallest to biggest

or biggest to smallest to practice sizing

and also some ladybugs counters

my daughter loves to put these ones

inside an empty plastic jar

challenging herself to count to 30

I also have a ladybug rebus poster

that for some reason the picture is not coming out

the right way in blogger, but is a really cute poster

to help them read :)

Enjoy!

Happy to be part of The Preschool Corner

Summer Challenge

Dora's Easter Basket book

This is the book we are starting with this week

We follow the activities in the book

like counting Easter eggs in Spanish

And placing treats inside the Easter Eggs

matching the colors with the eggs

Say it in Spanish:

one = uno
two = dos
three = tres
four = cuatro
five = cinco
six = seis
seven = siete
eight = ocho
nine = nueve
ten = diez
eleven = once
twelve = doce

that's how far the book goes in the Spanish counting :)

and the color words in Spanish are here

The Golden Egg Book

Last night we started reading

"the Golden Egg"

and for a craft

we took some glue mixed with a little bit of water

yellow yarn

and a water balloon

We dipped the yarn in the glue

(careful... really messy) lol

and covered the water balloon with the yarn

we used lots of strings to be able to cover

the balloon as much as possible

leaving some empty spaces just for the art of it :)

once done, we let it dry

and our finished result...

after we popped the balloon
we have a golden egg

Thanks to MoreMomTime who I got the idea from here

Celebrating Dr. Seuss!

Today we are going to be celebrating

Dr. Seuss

with a few free printables.

First we are planning on reading

"the Cat in the Hat"

for a craft we'll be using

an oatmeal container to make the hat

cutting and gluing some red and white strips of construction paper,

and for the bottom of the hat,

we'll be using a paper plate with a whole in the middle.

I promise to post a picture as soon as we are done with it :)

We are also going to be doing connect the dots

with the cat in the hat, and a maze

we also have a coloring pagea hats counting sheet

a rhyming worksheet

and a drawing worksheet for your little one to be creative

You can find all these worksheets here

Enjoy!!!

New material for The Mixed up Chamaleon

The Mixed Up Chamaleon Colors

this ones I made myself,

again is for the letter tiles from any scrabble game

or simply laminated so they can trace on top

It helps a lot with letter recognition

Spelling, letter sounds

and at the same time learning colors

You can also find how to say the colors in Spanish here

I'll be making letter tile mats in Spanish asap

I'm sure there will be other themes and books

that will give me the opportunity to incorporate these :)

Enjoy!

Chameleon crayon art

This is pretty neat, and very fun

we took advantage of the chameleons colors to do

the stained glass effect

first we peeled little pieces of crayons

then we placed a chameleons coloring sheet on the table

on top we put wax paper and then

using a pencil sharpener we put crayon shavings

on top of the wax paper, then

place another piece of wax paper on top

and iron it, the crayon will melt quick

and spread mixing the colors

this is a close up of the crayon shavings


when is dry, you cut it.

the chameleon that you see at the bottom
is the coloring sheet that was underneath the wax paper.

The proyect came from Martha Stewart website

The Mixed-Up Chameleon

We finally got The mixed up Chameleon from the library,

we read it a couple of times and Jessica loves it

so we started working on some activities,

I made these cards that you can print, cut and laminate

so whenever I retell the story and say:

I wish I could be big and white like a...

and let the child hold these cards and think

which animal is big and white, so her answer will be the polar bear

then I go on with the story,

I wish I could be handsome like a...

flamigo (being their answer), and so on

Also, another activity is to print them and cut them

separating the word with the picture,

that way you can read the word to them

and they match it with the correct picture,

this will help them learn the name of each animal in this book

and another activity is to print them out

twice or three times and

do a little pattering math with them like this

elephant, elephant, flamingo, elephant, elephant...

what goes next?

so you get the idea... :)

Enjoy!

More Very Hungry Caterpillar goodies

After enjoying our award for the weekend

we continued on the Very Hungry Caterpillar learning fun

Right here Jessica is playing with her sequencing cards

Besides that I printed a little number words booklet

that way she can practice her number writing over and over again
