Lowercase Alphabet Mazes

June 11, 2016 By Valerie Mcclintick Leave a Comment

LowercaseLetterMazesYoung children love to do mazes, and these Animal Alphabet Mazes are just right for building key motor control skills while having fun learning about animals.  This set is available free on BrainyMaze.com and features:

  • Letter Formation
  • Short Reading Practice
  • Tracing Animal with Beginning Letter
  • Lowercase Letter Maze
  • Lowercase Handwriting Practice

 

Tracing is a a great way to build those small muscle movements as children move their pencil along each animal outline.  There are many fun Rainforest animals and Australian Animals included in this set so children are sure to be engaged when learning the names of new creatures.  Text for each page is written in an, “A is for….” format using an EZ Read Dyslexia font.  Children then solve the lowercase letter maze and practice their handwriting skills with letter tracing at the bottom.

AnimalABCMazes

These would make great review worksheets for young children entering Kindergarten or First Grade.

Beginning Letter Alphabet Mazes

May 10, 2016 By Valerie Mcclintick Leave a Comment

BeginningLetterHandwritingMazeHeaderPreschoolAlphabetMazesEveryone loves mazes!  I know my kids would much rather do a maze then a worksheet, so that is why I designed these Alphabet Maze Worksheets.    For each letter of the alphabet there is a beginning letter picture maze for children to complete.  Once they finish the maze they can use pladough to form the right shapes to make the letters.  Show children how to roll out the playdough and then arrange to cover the uppercase and lowercase letters.  If you’d rather not use playdough, children can simply color in the letter instead.

Worksheet Expansion Tips: 

  • Color Uppercase in with Big dots, and lowercase with little dots.
  • Color Uppercase in with Big stripes and lowercase with little stripes.
  • Use letter stamps to fill in the blank letters.
  • Children can write the letter to fill in it
  • etc……

Color and Learn Worksheets

March 29, 2016 By Valerie Mcclintick 2 Comments

Recently we’ve added a handful of Color and Learn worksheets to our sister site Preschool Mom, and I wanted to take a minute to show you why they are so popular with our visitors.

Each collection includes a variety of different animals/bugs alongside some amazing and fun facts for children to learn.  Some pages include extra activities like footprint identification or beginning writing skills, but mostly they are designed to be no-prep, easy to implement resources you can use in your classroom.  In fact, it might be fun for children to create their own fact book featuring each of the different animals.

PatternTitleThis is a dreamy way to create a beautiful Arctic sunset or Northern lights backdrop for your winter scenes.  

Materials:

  • Polar Bear Template
  • Oil Pastels
  • Sharp Object

 

 



ArcticBear

Ice Bear: The Arctic World of Polar Bears

This simple yet evocative book explores the polar bear s Arctic home and life cycle. Playful cubs, hungry boars, and intimidating sows Kazlowski’s photographs capture this fascinating species in all its beautiful and fearsome glory. More than 100 full-color images reveal the polar bear s world, as well as the entire Arctic landscape: rugged ice floes, magical aurora borealis, walruses, seals, Arctic foxes and rabbits, beluga whales, and a variety of birds including the snowy owl. Kazlowski also captures the Inuit people and their culture in which the polar bear plays a significant part.

 

Step 1

Print your polar bear template as a guide. The template includes grey lines separating each shape.

Step 2

Choose cool colors (blues, greens, purples) to color in the shapes of your polar bear.

Step 3

You want a good variety of colors and try not to have the same colors touching eachother.

Step 4

Choose warm colors (reds, oranges, and yellows) and start filling in the shapes of the background.

Step 5

Color in every shape leaving no white space. Make sure you pressed hard enough with your oil pastels to ge a thick layer of color on your paper.

Step 6

You can stop here and frame on black construction paper if you like

Step 7

Or you might want to add in some patterns. Oil pastel can be scratched away to reveal a lighter hue of the same color. This is a great way to add texture and patterns to your polar bear.

Step 8

You can even add in things you might see in an Arctic landscape; iceburgs, winter trees, a full moon, inukshuk, etc....
