winter dress-up paper dolls

Well, not really paper dolls, as such, but just as fun. (I must admit I do have a collection of paper dolls).  Here's a free set of a boy and a girl ready to dress up for winter.  Preschoolers will need help with the cutting, but they will do fine with a glue stick.
winter preschool activities

If you would like to take the winter clothes concept a step further, I just finished a resource that includes dress-ups, but much more.  Here's what's in it:
  • Dress for winter center – Print characters and clothes (several pages) on cardstock. Teacher cuts out the clothes, and the children practice “dressing” the characters, mixing and matching the clothes as they please, or following teacher directions.
  • Individual cut and paste – Let each child choose one or more characters to dress, and offer choices of clothes to cut out and paste.
  • Categorize clothes by color center – Offer the color sorting mats, and a selection of clothes to sort by color.
  • Categorize clothes by type center - Offer the clothes type sorting mats, and a selection of clothes to sort by type.
  • Word/picture strips for vocabulary, and word recognition
  • Labeled large manipulatives for making recognition and memory and matching games.
You can take a look at a copy of this resource here, and here.

On a totally unrelated note, here are some BIG counting dinosaurs, 0-20.

The two latest activity pack additions to the KidSparkz site are both winter-themed and numbers-related.
Make your own number sense anchor charts winter theme 1-10.
In the first one, the children can make their own WINTER Number Sense Anchor Charts 1-10 for preschool, pre-K and Kindergarten. Both of these packs are appropriate for children who are cutting already, if offered as an individual activity.  However, they can both be pre-cut and set up as a center, or used as a small group teaching prop.

Includes:
• 10 numbered background mats in b/w
• Set of graphics to cut and paste onto each mat (color) – 10-frame, number word, counting fingers, dice, and set of items (children dressed in winter clothes).). All the graphics pieces are the same size (except the set of children) and can fit into any of the mat spaces. The sets of children always go along the bottom of the mat.

This activity can be used as:
• Directed individual activity – each child creates own number anchor charts to post in the room or take home.
• Center – print all pieces on cardstock and laminate.
• Daily math journal – make a page a day and bind into a booklet to keep.
This resource is FREE to KidSparkz site members!

winter number sense activities for kindergarten
In the second pack, the children create numbers 1-10 web graphic organizers by cutting and pasting 6 ways that numbers can be represented onto a number mat background.

The 6 ways that numbers can be resented used here are: 10-frames, tally marks, dice, finger counting, objects in a set, and the number word.

Each number activity includes 3 pages – a web graphic organizer; a page with 6 ways numbers can be represented, to cut and paste, in color; and a page with 6 ways that numbers can be represented, to cut and paste, in b/w. Choose either the page in color, or the page in b/w, for the activity.

Concepts and skills: categorizing, vocabulary, cutting, gluing, picture placement, concept of a web graphic organizer, overview of some ways numbers can be represented, making choices, and having fun while learning number concepts.

Here are some FREE hot chocolate flashcards 0-20 to use for number recognition and sequencing.  print 2 copies for matching games.
