Experienced preschool teacher Katie Turner has developed 60 fun and easy activities that will teach your little scholar everything they need to know to excel at kindergarten. These hands-on projects focus on the most important skills children should begin practicing between the ages of 3 and 5-from literacy, math and science to motor skills and social-emotional mindfulness. These pre-learning skill sets will set them up for the best chance of success and prevent them from falling behind once they start school. Best of all, each activity is simple to make, requires minimal preparation and uses inexpensive or common household items, so they're perfect for even the busiest, most budget-conscious parent. The Alphabet Mystery Box will help your child learn about letter sounds to prepare them for reading, while the Sandbox Volcano will be an explosive introduction to simple science concepts. The My Feelings Sensory Bottle will teach your little one to identify and talk about their different emotions, and the Rip and Snip Tray will help build hand strength and develop dexterity to make for an easy transition to writing. With Katie's expertise and her balanced approach to early childhood education, this book will set your child up to succeed in kindergarten and beyond.
