This ‘best-of’ roundup is the place to be for tried and true activities for kids. It provides teachers and parents with the most-viewed, most-shared options.
It is my goal to create, and make accessible, simple affordable activities that benefit early learning. Hands-on playtime activities are by far the most popular – and beneficial – for fun and learning, for grownups as well as for kids.
When we can learn just by playing, early education doesn’t get much better than that!
Most popular preschool activities
It’s always a pleasure and a privilege to annually compile the most popular posts of the blog. This year, posts with science, sensory and sand play are top of the list.
A couple favorites have not lost their place in the roster – the lift-the-flaps game and the marble roll activity.
I’m also excited to welcome a newbie to the list – the DIY cardboard box roadster is a hit this year!
More than half the posts in this roundup are science related, which is no surprise. Everyday play naturally includes exploration and discovery, which supports the emerging young scientist – and artist! – in kids.
Whether mixing paint colors on the easel, or sand and water in a jar, kids have a tendency to ‘mix things up’ to see what happens.
