My LO started school last fall and has learnt to read and write alphabets & numbers. Instead of concentrating on writing worksheet (which they do it in school anyway) we play simple games that doubles as learning activities. Here is an alphabet match game that we played recently. You can start playing this with your [...]]]> http://www.scribbalicious.com/preschool-activities/alphabet-match-game/feed 1 http://www.scribbalicious.com/preschool-activities/preschool-name-game http://www.scribbalicious.com/preschool-activities/preschool-name-game#comments Fri, 15 Feb 2013 22:31:58 +0000 SkandhusMommy http://www.scribbalicious.com/?p=3968
This is a simple game that you can play with your preschooler. You can start this name as early as in late twos, provided your 2 year old knows the alphabets. By Kindergarten most schools expect a child to know (& spell) his first and last names. Activity: Jumble the letters in your child’s name [...]]]> http://www.scribbalicious.com/preschool-activities/preschool-name-game/feed 0 http://www.scribbalicious.com/3-to-4-years/activities-of-our-3-years-old http://www.scribbalicious.com/3-to-4-years/activities-of-our-3-years-old#comments Mon, 11 Feb 2013 00:22:34 +0000 SkandhusMommy http://www.scribbalicious.com/?p=3931

My preschooler knows about basic shapes. We started learning (yes its more of learning together than teaching ) shapes when our LO was about 22 months old. He even doodles basic shapes and enjoys drawing shapes in his Ipad apps! One lazy afternoon when LO was super bored, I thought why not play some sensory [...]]]> http://www.scribbalicious.com/preschool-activities/sensory-idea-of-teaching-shapes-to-preschoolers/feed 0 http://www.scribbalicious.com/preschool-activities/teaching-preschooler-to-write-strengthening-finger-muscles http://www.scribbalicious.com/preschool-activities/teaching-preschooler-to-write-strengthening-finger-muscles#comments Thu, 10 Jan 2013 00:16:17 +0000 SkandhusMommy http://www.scribbalicious.com/?p=3829
Before starting to teach a preschooler to write, we have to concentrate on strengthening those tiny finger muscles. This helps them in holding the pencil properly and writing without experiencing pain. My 38 months old has started to write. He still uses both his hands to write. He can spell and write his name without [...]]]> http://www.scribbalicious.com/preschool-activities/teaching-preschooler-to-write-strengthening-finger-muscles/feed 1 http://www.scribbalicious.com/preschool-activities/christmas-paper-chain http://www.scribbalicious.com/preschool-activities/christmas-paper-chain#comments Mon, 24 Dec 2012 21:38:25 +0000 SkandhusMommy http://www.scribbalicious.com/?p=3785
We had been to Aanand’s preschool Christmas program. It was a feast to hear the little ones sing for us. The program took place at the school sanctuary. The hall was full and we were very eager to see our LO on the stage. I thought that it would be difficult for Aanand to find [...]]]> http://www.scribbalicious.com/preschool-activities/christmas-paper-chain/feed 1 http://www.scribbalicious.com/preschool-activities/christmas-worksheets-for-preschoolers http://www.scribbalicious.com/preschool-activities/christmas-worksheets-for-preschoolers#comments Tue, 18 Dec 2012 01:23:35 +0000 SkandhusMommy http://www.scribbalicious.com/?p=3750
Seasons greetings to you all! Hope everyone is looking forward for the holidays. We have decked our home with lights and Skandha helped his dad decorate our Christmas tree.

Here are two simple number matching games that we enjoy playing at home. Activity 1: Write numbers 1-20 (depending on your kids age) in two set of papers. I have used bottle caps and card stock papers. Ask your child to match the numbers from either set and arrange it in order.
