Pond week is a great time to work some science into your preschool curriculum. These centers and activities are a great way to play while practicing a large variety of preschool skills.
There is no reason you can’t have fun and get in some movement and fine motor skills while working on math skills. These pond math activities focus on counting, non-standard measurement, and number sense while moving and playing along the way.
Work on pre-pencil grip strength using tongs to count the eggs onto the lily pads. We used cotton balls for our eggs.
How many turtles are in the tank? This math game works on subitizing, one-to-one correspondence, and counting to give your kiddos well rounded number sense practice.
This is a perfect activity to use a magnetic fishing line, a laundry basket boat, and paper fish with a metal clip. Kids can fish and count in a pretend play area until you make them stop.
Gross motor is an important thing to integrate into learning. It works the body and brain in awesome ways. In this activity, kids get to follow instructions to count and move like a frog.
How high did the frog jump? Measure it with snap cubes, blocks, beans, or even mini erasers to get kids started on early non-standard measurement.
Decorate a turtle shell with shape buttons or green paper cutouts. Spin to know which shape to use next. This is a super fun math or art center.
Water table play is a HUGE hit during pond week. Can your alphabet ducks float in a sink or water table? Can you fish magnetic letters out of a “pond” to make your name pond? Get creative and have fun with it this week.
Write the alphabet letters directly on the back of the ducks or hot glue the laminated version. Then help the baby letter ducks find the momma letter ducks.
Follow the guidelines to practice tracing alphabet letters in the letter pond.
Match the alphabet frogs to their letter lily pads. You can have them hop from pad to pad until they find the correct one.
Try fishing the letters out of a water bin using a slotted spoon or magnet pole and then build your name pond.
Crafts are such a special part of preschool. Here are some fun, interactive preschool pond crafts your kiddos will LOVE!
Cover a paper place with blue tissue paper squares to make your pond. Use the cutouts to decorate it. Then attach the duck to a craft stick and them “swim” across the pond.
This is a preschool craft to make kids giggle. When you’re done you just blow to make the froggy stick out his tongue to be silly or catch flies.
Variety is critical when teaching a classroom of young preschoolers. Here are a few more preschool pond theme printables you can use in your centers or small groups.
Help arrange the frogs in order to spell out their sight words.
This fine motor sorting game is a blast. You can do it with colored goldfish, fish toys, or the printable fish included.
Use this activity for the science center. Help your kiddos start to classify and group animals.
This life cycle anchor chart can be something you glue down or make it interactive with velcro. Either way, it will be a hit in the science center.
In addition to the hands-on pond preschool activities above, we also created 15 fun worksheets for you. These worksheets include tracing, scissor practice, counting, color-by-number, and more.
It’s important to give kids a variety of ways to practice number sense. These pond worksheets for preschool are a great way to cover skills like number tracing, counting, subitizing, and measurement.
In preschool, we are still learning letters and starting to work on high-frequency words. Use these cute worksheets in your writing center to practice animal words or letters.
You will also want to include other skill options for your preschoolers to work on like patterns, sorting, and even a bit of science. Get that practice with these cute pond worksheets.
