Preschool Class on It’s Playtime

Since I’m sort of celebrating getting back into the groove of school, and refreshing the Henry’s memory of things he has learned, this week, I’m going to pretend today’s a day of preschool on It’s Playtime!

This week I’ve already shared 50 Ways to Learn the ABCs and 40 Math Activities for Preschoolers. Tomorrow will be another learning day too!

In one short day, we’re going to cover all the basics. Math, science, language, gross and fine motor, and of course social skills.

• Math: Adding and subtracting can be simple, even for a preschooler with Uno Cards and beads to practice! The Stay At Home Educator shows us how!
• Science: Do a fun [and magical!] science experience with the kids using yeast! Get the how to from Little Wonders’ Days.
• Language: Plato to Playdough shares how to create a magical staircase [on ABC and 123: A Learning Cooperative] with letters and learn the ABC’s!
• Gross Motor: Try a simple balance beam activity like Learning to Be a Mom does!
• Fine Motor: Play with play dough and make some “mini beasts”! Love these bugs by The Fairy and the Frog!
• Social: A very important part of childhood! Your child making friends! Rainy Day Mum reminds us of the basics.

It’s Playtime is a community for play loving bloggers to share ways to play.
