Tot Packs


These are a great way to get your toddler interested in learning. You can choose different packets from your child's favorite story like Brown Bear or even a favorite movie like CARS or Dinosaur Train. Each packet has activities about color, shapes, letters, numbers, tracing and more. These are absolutely wonderful. I have even used piece of the on long car rides. Or you can make them into different file folder games. (See picture below)

Alphabet tracing Worksheet


These are the alphabet tracing worksheets that I used when doing Preschool with my little one. These pages are cute and have both upper and lower case letters on one page. That way you can decide when to teach each part but have the convenience of not having to worry about two separate pages. I really like the simple way that the worksheet is set up and it is in a familiar pattern for my little one to follow.
Click here for the link to download and print your own. This is a great resource for tracing letters either while learning each letter or just reviewing. I also plan on laminating mine and using the whiteboard crayons and markers. So I can use them over and over again with out using more ink.

Tracing Numbers


As part of our daily preschool time with my 3 year old we do a Number Tracing worksheet. This is great because it has an area for the child to practice tracing and then to try on their own as well. At the bottom there is an area where they get to circle the pictures that are in sets of whatever the number is . For example if the number is 2 then they circle all the pictures that have two of them.
The link below has the printables I used. They were great and simple and of course free.
