St. Patrick's Day Preschool Mini Unit

Thursday, February 21, 2019

I'm so excited to share our St. Patrick's Day Mini Unit!!!  I am so happy that you are loving ALL our MINI UNIT series and the FULL PRESCHOOL CENTERS!!!  We've been working on these activities for years, way back when my eldest was in preschool but I didn't publish the printables in the shop back then.  Now, I'm so happy to share them with you so you can enjoy the benefits of these as well.

Without further ado, I would like to showcase our St. Patrick's Day Mini Unit, full of fun and engaging activities for preschoolers, pre-k and kindergarten kids.  Included in this pack are activities that will let your child practice fine motor skills, alphabet tracing, hands-on math, and a lot more!  For more St. Patrick's Day themed materials you can click here.

St. Patrick's Day Themed 3 Part Cards

These themed 3 part cards are still the best way to expand a child's vocabulary.  This work is Vito's favorite by far.  He's always asking what's this and what's that and is a great opportunity to explain what the objects mean and represent.  As I mentioned in my previous posts, 3 part cards or nomenclature cards are mainly used for visual discrimination, learning of vocabulary words, and for reading practice.

St. Patrick's Day Shaped Gold Coins Sorting Activity

These are so beautiful!  When working with this activity, be sure to name the shapes to your child, not just letting them sort the cards.  They need to understand that these shapes have corresponding names, and if they are capable, extend the work by letting the child describe the shape, count the sides, the corners etc.  This will allow them to understand the differences of each shape, like a square has 4 equal sides and a rectangle though has 4 sides but they aren't equal, or why is it called pentagon? octagon? etc.

St. Patrick's Day Shamrock Ten and Twenty Frames Clipcards

Counting practice from 1 to 20.  Use pegs or any counters to mark the count.

Uppercase and Lowercase Rainbow Match

And I thought Vito is outgrowing this kind of activity but no!  He absolutely loves this one and find it to challenging when I mixed the letter cards.  When he was younger, I used to give him 5-10 sets, but now, I gave him all the letters from a-z, mixed the cards and he had so much fun (see the concentration?) looking for pairs and matching them!

And of course, not to mention that the cards are beautiful!

St. Patrick's Day Themed Playdough Mats

Ah you must have seen this in our IG stories.  He's buried in this activity and playing for hours.  These playdough mats are such a life saver when it's cold and rainy outside and the kids wants to have something to do!

St. Patrick's Day Themed CVC Middle Sound (Vowel) Sorting

Vito is still confused between the letter e and letter i sound so we're having this sorting activity.  Someone asked me how we do this.  It's very simple actually, we review e and i sound and I made him understand that they sound differently.  After our practice, he then reads the word, and this time a bit careful of pronouncing the e and i in the CVC so he can sort it out.  This was a good start and next time we'll use pictures (Beginning Letter Sound Activity Sheets) instead of written words.

St. Patrick's Day Gold Coins Ten Frames

And this one is a hands-on counting activity.  Use any counters or manipulatives to indicate the number of counts indicated in the cards.  We love using our glass gems on this one but you can also use playdough or counters.
