Spring Fine Motor Skills and STEM Activities

I created this fun and engaging activities for my boys who love to tinker and do creative stuff with some of our manipulatives.  They would often work on these on weekend mornings during our quiet time or on weeknights before dinner.

March Springtime Shelf Activities

Featuring our activities and learning materials for March.  Rotation of activities would usually take about 3-4 weeks now because Vito would mostly be spending time outdoors since the weather is starting to get warmer.  Feel free to implement these learning activities in your home schooling and in your classrooms.  Details and links to materials used are also provided and if you have further questions just leave it in the comment section below.

Winter Building Blocks Spin and Build

With the success of our Pattern Blocks Spin and Build, I didn't hesitate making another series of Spin and Build and this time it's using LEGO building blocks!  Everyone loves LEGO and this is just a perfect extension work and play for creating 2D pictures using LEGO compatible blocks and mats or plates.

Our Montessori-Inspired Shelf for Winter

I’m back after a few weeks of hiatus!  I’ve been focusing more in our homeschool that I didn’t have time to write a post about our activities for the past 2 weeks.  Anyway, here’s the shelf that I've setup weeks ago and the main theme for this setup is “winter”.  This year, we’ll be doing small study units for science and culture but we will work our way thoroughly (taking our time) in reading, writing, and math.

Winter Themed 1-10 Counting Activities

If you love themed activities, you will surely love these winter counting printable activities we have in the shop.  These materials promote hands-on mathematics and enable children to practice writing and do some fine motor skill works.

Ten Frames

Vito enjoys these “scenic” ten frames as I often call them. Currently, we have 3 different beautiful designs that can go along with any of your winter themes.  Here Vito is working on our kids winter themed ten frames.  He was disappointed that it didn’t snow here last Christmas so I gave him a few snowy themed activities.  There are two types of activities included in our one to ten counting ten frames.

Using the Four Seasons Addition Clipcards

Enjoy the fun in learning addition with this winter-themed addition clipcards.  Vito is currently obsessed with adding numbers so I made these seasons addition clipcards  for him to work with to help enrich his skills in addition.  These are so easy to prepare and use.  Below are the recommended manipulatives that you can use with the cards for a hands-on approach in learning addition.

Seasonal Pattern Blocks Mats (with FREE Download)

I am so excited to share the latest craze in our house lately, the pattern block mats!  I made these printable materials because my boys are totally obsessed with making “pictures” and objects using our pattern blocks (bought from Amazon).  We own this and the magnetic version since Vito was a baby but the boys’ needs keep growing and I decided to provide them with picture mats so they can create not just plain pattern block objects but objects that integrate in beautiful backgrounds for a more imaginative play.  The best thing about this printable is that we can print and reuse them over and over again!

Fall Leaves Counting Activities

It is finally autumn and counting leaves has never been this fun!

Apple Number Bond Activities

A fun way to learn number decomposition this autumn is with the use of our Apple Number Bond learning materials.  Vito is currently learning tens and number bonds as preparation for early addition.

Four Seasons Sorting Activity

The days are getting longer and we are having more sun than rain so we are spending most of our time outdoors these days and observing the changes in our environment.  I posted our nature finds and observations in my Instagram account and there’s just so many things that Vito is loving in our surroundings (like insects and flowers!).  With all these changes, we started reading our tree book once again, defining each season and the changes that we see around us.

In this Hands-On activity, you will see how Vito learned about the four seasons and the things associated with each season with the help of our Four Seasons Sorting Learning Material. You can get this printable from here or click the image below to go to its product page.

Jigsaw Seasons Puzzle

We love this wooden seasons puzzle (Alphabet Jigsaw Wooden Seasons Puzzle) from the company Alphabet Jigsaw (Ireland).  The boys and I love this puzzle!  Thought it’s still quite challenging for Vito to assemble, we love working on it together.  Below are some of the features why we love this puzzle to bits!

Letter L: Leaf Activities in Autumn

We are joining the bandwagon of autumn-themed activities and for Vito, we’re having leaf activities!

Leaf Color Matching

Got these beautiful craft leaves from a local store and used them for sorting colors.  I just dumped them in a container and would take one leaf at a time. I then mention the color and placed it to where it belongs.  Vito loves calling out their names!  I am not sure if he could recognize colors yet, it’s a hit or miss for him.  It’s a challenge to put up a color sorting activity for him so I put an extra effort on making it fun like making noises or funny sounds as I drop the leaf to the sorted group.

St. Patrick’s Day Activities for Toddlers

I am not really a fan of seasonal themed activities. Why? For a busy Mom like me, it is difficult to prepare and assemble materials.  The fact that we live far away from the city, our resources are quite limited. It is hard to find materials that fits well in a specific theme.

But… we all have to agree that it is fun to do with your little kids.  It’s cute and fun! And the kids will have that festive feeling of the celebration.  That’s why, because this month we are celebrating St. Patrick’s Day here in Ireland, I am trying out these seasonal themed activities with Vito!  Yes, I’m testing the water and see if I can pull off a seasonal themed activity and let’s see where this will lead me.  We’re not doing a bunch right, we’re only trying those that are easy to prepare and feasible for us.
