Wondrfly’s favorites: online learning activities for preschoolers

Family Fun Zone

Getting your child ready for preschool is one of the key aims of their early development. From the time they are born, we work to engage their cognitive and motor skills so they can be ready to learn and play with other kids.

Here are some helpful resources we’ve gathered up for you from the four corners of the internet. They include tons of crafts and learning activities for your preschooler or preschooler-to-be, available online and free of cost. Give your little one the scholastic skills they need to succeed!

 

Preschool Science Activities • Teach kids of any age about the water cycle with this simple experiment by I Can Teach My Child. • Break out the toy dinosaurs and introduce your little one to the prehistoric age and fossils with these dino- themed activities by Stay at Home Educator. • Raise mini meteorologists with these engaging weather activities from Hi Mama. • Teach your preschooler about the wild world of nature with these free, printable, animal habitat sorting mats by Totschooling.

 

Preschool Activities to Develop Literary Skills • This article from Play to Learn Preschool informs how you can turn sensory play into an alphabet learning activity with some plastic molds (or cookie cutters) and kinetic sand! • Help your preschooler learn to spell and write their name with this memorable spelling activity from Jumpstart. • PreKinders has a plethora of ideas for how to get your child identifying letters, so they’ll never get bored! • Check out this sorting activity from No Time for Flashcards, and allow your child to flex their color and letter muscles at the same time.

 

Activities to Teach Preschoolers Number Skills • Inform kids about currency and counting with this coin-sorting activity from Busy Toddler. • Help your children recognize the shapes in their daily life with this cut-and-paste activity suggested by Playdough to Plato. Use magazines and templates to boost your child’s awareness of geometric shapes and patterns. • Use natural light and shadows to enhance your child’s spatial awareness with this activity from Hands On as We Grow. • Integrate shapes and sensory play into the same fun activity with this recommendation from Days with Grey. You’ll need stackable foam shapes and shaving cream for this activity, which is perhaps best done outside on some grass.

 

Preschool Social Studies Activities • Check out these printable resources for all sorts of holidays from different countries on First School. Take the opportunity to help your preschooler learn about different geographical places and their customs, while still gaining literary and cognitive skills! • Help your child make a play city out of paper bags as shown on Kids Activities. This allows them to engage in valuable dramatic play where they learn to interpret the world around them. • Allow your little one to take their dramatic play a step farther by stepping into the role of a familiar community figure such as the mailperson. Pre-K Pages has an excellent post office roleplay activity that can help your child understand the jobs and functions of community helpers! • Entrusting even young children with household chores and tasks can give them a sense of community purpose of their own. Check out Tinker Lab’s recommendations for chores to assign your preschooler, and how to reward and encourage them.
