There are 86 matching pairs that teach preschool concepts such as the alphabet, letter sounds, counting from one to twenty, and color recognition. A very common curriculum for preschoolers is to do activities for one letter of the alphabet each week. Oftentimes this only starts at around age 3 or 4, however, my daughter has shown a lot of interest in letters and letter sounds and anything to do with school. Therefore, I recently started doing some letter activities with her.
This way, by the time she turns three and starts our official preschool homeschool curriculum , she will already have a good grasp of all letters and letter sounds. We do one letter per week. The printables I use involve coloring, using do a dot markers, pasting, using playdough letter mats to form letters, etc.
I like to do at least one math activity that covers a specific math skill each week. When she was on the younger side of the age of 2, we did a lot of color sorting. You can do this any counters, or with these popular bear counters and sort them by colors in containers. Now that she has mastered that skill, we are now sorting those same bears by size. Sorting by size small, medium, and large is a more advanced skill for toddlers. My daughter also loves counting objects. The learning binder I talk about further below, also includes math activities.
We started using flashcards when my daughter was just a baby! Then she began repeating me, then saying it with me, and finally saying it by herself. This was how she learned her colors and shapes by the age of one. Now we go over letter sounds with flash cards and also common household items and animals to increase vocabulary. Ideally, you would choose a few cards to go over each week. This can easily be done during breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
I setup a learning binder for my 2 year old using both free online printables and paid printables from Teachers Pay Teachers. My daughter always asks me to do the activities in the binder. Visit our health and safety page to learn more. Your family's health and safety are our top priorities!
