Kids Konnect kids know the outdoors. At both locations of Kids Konnect, we think outdoor play is vital for your child’s well-rounded development. Spring is a great time for preschoolers and our teachers to reconnect with the wet and wild of the outdoors. Parents often ask us for ideas to take home. Here are three great "spring welcome" preschool activities:
Fair weather preschool activities are many and merry: encourage your child to observe insects, examine leaf edges and listen for bird calls.
This idea from Childfun is charming and will be a treasured keepsake. Trace your child’s outstretched hand on colorful construction paper, then cut the handprint out. Use a pencil to curl the fingers, then curl the handprint vertically so the fingers curl outwards, like flower petals.
Assemble two flowering fingers onto a drinking straw with some paper leaves; make a bouquet of five straw flowers. These make charming gifts for family members!
Preschoolers can learn and play with this NASA-based activity. Gather the family with a big kid or a parent as the sun in the center. Give your child a large, lightweight, plastic play ball.
At Kids Konnect we are always open to new ideas. What clever ways have you brought Spring to your preschooler? Please share your preschool activities below.
