Christmas Mini Bundle

The best way to teach anything to your preschoolers is through fun, hands-on activities that keep them engaged and interested. These easy-to-prep activities require a handful of materials and can be used in many ways, such as:

Small group activity.
Literacy center option.
Writing center activity.
Take-home activity.
Quiet area option.

Materials Needed:

Christmas Mini Bundle (FREE at the end of this post).
Printer.
White cardstock.
White paper.
Laminator.
Laminator pouches.
Scissors.
Glue.
Clothespins.
Dot-to-Dot, dry-erase, and regular markers.
Pencils and crayons.

The activities included in this mini bundle to help your preschoolers develop multiple skills are:

Christmas Beginning Sounds

These types of activities are crucial to help children develop phonemic awareness, essential for learning to read and write, as they help children:

Understand the relationship between letters and sounds.
Decode and recognize words as they learn to read.
Connect new words to familiar sounds to expand their vocabulary.
Enhance pronunciation and listening skills.
Learn to spell and form words.
Improve their communication skills.

Christmas Beginning Sounds Clip & Graph Wheel — Christmas Beginning Sounds Wheel

Print the wheel and graph on white cardstock, and laminate them for multiple uses. Provide some clothespins, and invite your preschoolers to select a picture on the wheel, mark it with a clothespin, observe the letters next to each image on the graph, and mark the one that represents the beginning sound with a dot-to-dot marker.

Christmas Tic-Tac-Toc

This simple game is a valuable tool that helps preschoolers improve developmental skills, such as:

Problem-solving, Strategic Planning, and Spatial Awareness.
Social-Emotional and Communication skills development.
Cognitive Development.
Math skills to understand and recognize patterns.
Fine Motor and Hand-eye Coordination.
Creativity.

Print the board and chips on white cardstock. Cut out the chips and laminate everything for durability. Invite a couple of preschoolers to play the game.

Christmas Trees Cut & Glue to Match

These hands-on activities promote in preschoolers the development of cognitive and physical skills such as:

Fine Motor Development, strengthening hand muscles, and improving hand-eye coordination.
Focus, Concentration, and Problem-solving abilities.
Spatial Reasoning, by learning to categorize and recognize shapes, colors, and patterns.
Problem-solving skills.
Sensory Development.
Creativity and Expression.

Print multiple pages on white paper. Give one page to each child. If the child is ready, he or she can cut out the dotted line squares with the pictures. If the children are not prepared, cut them out for them.

Invite the children to choose one tree at a time, and glue it next to the matching one. The child must do the same with every tree until he or she finishes them all.

Christmas Tracing

Tracing activities are also crucial to prepare preschoolers for more complex tasks like reading and writing by improving their:

Fine Motor Development, strengthening fingers and hand small muscles.
Hand-eye Coordination to control a pencil or crayon and follow the lines.
Cognitive Development processes like concentration, focus, and problem-solving.
Spatial Awareness, to understand connections between objects and the space around them.
Pre-writing Skills Development.
Confidence and Self-awareness.

Have your preschoolers trace the lines with their fingers. That will give them a sense of how the lines go. Don’t forget to tell them to go from left to right, since that is the correct direction to write.

Print one copy for each child on regular white paper. If you want to use them multiple times, print some copies on white cardstock and laminate them.

Preschoolers can use a dry-erase marker to trace the lines if the page is laminated, or a regular marker, crayon, or pencil if it’s not.

Count the Objects and Color the Graph

These activities lay the foundation for future math skills and problem-solving abilities, such as:

Number Sense and Counting, to understand numbers, their sequence, and their quantities.
Sort and Categorize objects by color, size, or type.
Understand Data Representation, improving visual thinking, by interpreting patterns and data representations.
Cognitive Development, enhancing memory, attention, and spatial awareness.
Problem-solving, learning to analyze and compare data, and drawing conclusions.

Print one copy for each child on regular white paper. Invite them to observe one picture at a time and count how many they find on the rectangle above. Once they count each item, they must fill the correct number of squares with a regular marker or crayon to complete the chart.

Christmas Trace and Fill

Tracing activities provide preschoolers with the opportunity to improve their physical and cognitive abilities and to lay the foundation for early literacy and mathematical development. Some of these skills are

Fine Motor, developing muscle control.
Hand-eye Coordination, familiarizing oneself with the strokes of shapes and forms.
Spatial Awareness, by understanding the relationships between objects and space.
Cognitive Development, by encouraging concentration and focus.

Children will practice their alphabet knowledge and pre-writing skills by tracing the letters, with a marker, crayon, or pencil, starting with the letter A, and writing the letter on the next bubble, following the correct order of the alphabet. Ask them to name each of the letters as they go.

Order by Size

These types of activities provide multiple benefits to preschoolers, because they help them develop essential cognitive and mathematical skills, such as:

Spatial Awareness, beginning to understand dimensions, pattern recognition, and spatial relations.
Visual Discrimination and Math Concepts, distinguishing, comparing, classifying, and ordering objects by size.
Problem-Solving, by critically and strategically sorting and arranging objects based on size.
Fine Motor and Hand-eye Coordination, by sorting and manipulating objects.
Early Literacy, by beginning to understand how to categorize and organize information.

Print the page on white cardstock. Cut out the presents and laminate them for durability. Invite the preschoolers to organize them from bigger to smaller and vice versa. Don’t forget to consider each child’s developmental level when deciding how many presents to give them.
