Looking for outdoor ideas for your preschooler? Here are some easy Summer STEAM Ideas for Preschool.
It takes a bit of ingenuity and fresh ideas to make learning fun at home for a 3-year-old. Things could easily get stale and boring, especially since there are no other children in our home. Thankfully, I have help from Experience Early Learning. The monthly curriculum kit is absolutely beautiful, complete with lesson plans, STEAM Station ideas, the majority of the supplies including books, a puzzle, props and so on.
Above is one of the daily Topic Posters from the Treasure Island Theme. Iris and I had so much fun with Crab Day. Take a peek below at just a few of the things we did. You can see more of Treasure Island in an earlier post here andhere.
In the summer, we eat 2-3 meals outside and, as much as possible, and we take learning outside, too. I am always thinking of how to extend our day outside, and the preschool activities, especially the STEAM Station ideas from Experience Early Learning are perfect!
Above is one of the STEAM Station ideas from the Teacher Guide.
I modified the Crab Paths activity and substituted the connecting blocks we received in an earlier curriculum box. The shells were included in this month's box as one of two the manipulatives that are in every box. Iris and I made paths to her Kinetic Sand tray and "walked" the crabs on the paths. She made up a story about the crabs looking for treasure. I love listening to her experiment with language.
Iris had fun making Shell Prints, also a STEAM Station idea. She engineering a Crab Shaker that she used to dance to Island Calypso music on the included, Dancing on Alphabet Island CD. The awesome thing about the crab shaker? All but the glue, crayons and scissors came in the curriculum kit. I appreciate not having to go to a million stores or digging through my craft supplies. I keep a small caddy with crayons, scissors, tape and glue in our outside basket, ready to go each day.
So, if you are looking for outdoor ideas for your preschooler, I highly suggest you check our Experience Early Learning. You will love the easy Summer STEAM Ideas for Preschoolers.
