Koalas and Kangaroos make for excellent sensory play and flying a kite is great for movement. Your preschooler will love all the fun activities we have planned for the Preschool Alphabet Letter K this week and I think caretakers and moms will too! My son loved cutting and counting kites, and lacing up a Kayak.

If your son or daughter enjoys knights and castles, you’ll love our family’s fun day of knights and castles with FREE shields printables.

And don’t miss Teaching Kids to Enjoy the Sky – I took the kiddos out to fly kites.

Early Childhood Education

As an Early Childhood Education Certified Teacher, HappyandBlessedHome.com is where I share enriching activities for preschool development with some fun and simple preschool activities you can do at home. I have a passion for helping other moms and teachers with their preschool at home efforts. Now I teach other moms how to preschool at home with fun preschool activities through my online preschool program: Visual Montessori.

I spent over five years developing a preschool learning curriculum for my two boys and I used the principles of Montessori, and everything I know about childhood development, to create a preschool learning curriculum based upon the 12 Sensitive Periods for children between the ages of birth and six years old as outlined in Montessori.

Learn to Read

If you would like to assess your preschooler’s readiness in the area of reading, I have a free chart in my post, Advancing Preschool Reading Behaviors. If you have a preschooler who knows their ABCs and who has expressed an interest in reading, this series of posts will be perfect for you.  We’re on a journey to learn to read short words from either the list of Dolch sight words or short words that are easily represented with pictures. If you like this post, please PIN it on PINTEREST. :-

If you’re looking for a way to structure the start of your preschool day, I recommend using a Morning Board.    Click the links for the printables.  For a complete list of our morning board printables click here: Morning Board.

Letter K Preschool Activities

This week we started our letter K study with a sensory exercise. I printed out two of the larger traceable letter “Kk”s from my printable package and placed them in the bottom of some cake pans.  I then poured about 1 cup of sugar over each one and let each of the boys trace the letters through the sugar. They had a blast. My eldest noticed right away and informed me, “Mommy, sugar is kinda sweet.”  Yes it is, and it’s safe which is why I use it instead of colored sand.

Click here to purchase the entire Letter K Printable Pack online. The downloadable package includes the letter “K” and much, much more. The entire pdf file of 50+ pages and 30 activities includes:

• 9 Coloring Pages
• 1 Connect the Kites
• 5 Tracing Pages
• Kite Craft
• Koala Puppet Craft
• Kayak Lace-Up Card
• Cutting Practice
• Align and Count
• Counting and Organizing Kites
• 20 flashcards with short words that start in “K”
• Shapes cutting and matching
• 5 Do-a-dot Pages
• Flashcards with letter “K” sight words

A heavy emphasis is being placed on reading in our preschool at home efforts this year.  If you’re looking for books for an emergent reader, I recommend:

Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother too?

Of course they do — just like me and you! From baby kangaroos, called joeys, to baby elephants, called calfs, every kind of animal has a mother. Inside this playful and colorful book you will see all sorts of different babies with their mothers, all with one thing in common: Their mothers love them very, very much — in words and pictures by Eric Carle.

 

 

Kite Day – A Bear and Mole Story

My boys love this book. “Having determined that the wind is just right for flying kites, Bear and Mole investigate how to make one . . . with unexpected results . . . It is a winner for story-times.” (recommended by School Library Journal)

 

The King, the Mice and the Cheese

A king’s struggle to keep mice from devouring his favorite food makes “an amusing circular tale. Lively pictures.”–New York Times Book Review.  5 Stars with 32 Reviews.

Sight Words: In my downloadable printables you’ll find flashcards for 20 words with pictures as well as sight words for your preschooler.  For information about what sight words are appropriate for pre-K, kindergarten and up through grade 3, please see my post, sight words.

To supplement our letter K activities for the week, I also use God’s Little Explorers.  Our letter K coincides with week 10 in GLE.  In God’s Little Explorer’s the bible story for the week of letter K study is the story of King David and King Solomon.  My favorite activity (used to emphasize the story) is one where you create a king’s crown.  I have a free printable crown here: King’s Crown. Stacie has some wonderful ideas. Click here to learn more about God’s Little Explorers.

Here you can see the happiness on our eldest’s face as he enjoyed some sensory play with the sugar.

The Learn to Read Preschool Alphabet Letter K Printable Pack includes kites for counting, cutting, and organizing as well as kites for making the letter “K”.

The Learn to Read Preschool Alphabet Letter K Printable Pack also includes pages for coloring, do-a-dot painting, crafts, flashcards and more. If you need laces for the lace-up cards I’ve created for these printables, the laces I’m using are from the Matching Animals & Babies Lace-Up Cards.  The cards are my own creation.  Here you will also see our Learning Resources Letter Construction Activity Set – the semi-clear plastic pieces that can be used to build alphabet letters – pictured here making an upper and lower case “K”.  We just received these this week and I’m super excited. Getting my eldest to trace and construct letters is one of the first steps to early writing.
.

Another great activity that is wonderful for building math skills is pattern matching.  In the picture below you’ll notice our Foam Magnets – Pattern Blocks and our Pattern Cards for Pattern Blocks Set.  My boys love to make patterns using the magnets. My 3 1/2 year old took some of the magnets out of the container and placed them on the board and called them “extra kites.”  Pretty smart for such a young human.
