The Preschool Back to School Morning Bins are here! I’m thrilled with how these turned out. They are packed with plenty of hands-on activities to let young learners practice basic skills, including phonemic awareness, numbers 1-5, fine motor, colors, letters, patterns and so much more!
Most preschools have a scattered drop-off time, so mornings can be chaotic. Therefore, it’s crucial to have a consistent plan of activities for these young students to participate in as they trickle in. The Preschool Morning Bins are exactly what you need to start the day off in a positive, focused and stress-free way! These hands-on activities provide an ideal opportunity for preschool students to practice basic skills to warm up their minds and be ready for the day.
