I’m a big proponent of giving kids the opportunity to engage in hands-on activities for each of our preschool themes. Kids explore the world with their senses as they play and learn. Activities that get them moving, interacting, and experiencing various concepts have a bigger impact on their brains. I’m excited to share an e-book that is chock full of hands-on activities for kids who are learning their letters and numbers.
Hands-On Activities for Kids Learning Letters & Numbers
I worked with a variety of other parents and educators to create this e-book, and I’m pretty proud of it! It is full of learning activities that get kids into the thick of the fun. Yes, the activities are all centered around alphabet and number learning, but they’re all done in such a fun way. Kids will have the chance to explore a variety of literacy and math skills while delving into science, imagination play, and more.
