Why Children Need To Learn Shapes and the Best Activities To Help

Why teach shapes? Learn why children need to learn shapes and the best activities to help. Plus printables!

Shapes are one of those things we work on with kids from a  young age.  We teach what a circle is, a triangle, a square.  Colors, letters, numbers, shapes.  These are some of the first things we work on with children.  Colors are easy and fun to point out.  Numbers and letters are building blocks for their entire future.  But why do we focus on shapes?  Are they just easy?  There are actually some very concrete reasons for teaching toddlers and preschoolers shapes.  Here are 5 big reasons to teach preschoolers and toddlers shapes, plus some fun printables to color or use play-doh for sensory shape fun.

Learn why teaching toddlers and preschoolers shapes is so important, plus get some free printables to make learning fun! #shapes #learning #activity #toddler #preschool #STEM #development #printable Team-Cartwright.com

Simple Sound Science Activities for Kids

Let’s talk about sound.  My children are very familiar with it, at least they are quite good at volume.  Kids are really great at producing sound, and most of them enjoy being loud.

So why not take advantage of that interest and talk about how sound works.  How do we hear sounds? What are sound waves?  Can we see sound?  Give your children an excuse to be loud for an afternoon.  Here are 4 easy and fun sound science experiments for toddlers and preschoolers.
