Teaching Same and Different to a Preschooler

Preschool kids are just learning about the world around them, and it can be tough to explain things that seem obvious to us adults. For example, how do you explain what “the same” and “different” mean?

Here are a few ideas for teaching same and different:

One way to explain the concept of “the same” is to show your child two identical objects, like two balls. You can then say, “These are the same because they’re exactly alike.”

To illustrate the concept of “different,” you can again start with two objects, but this time choose ones that are not alike, like a ball and a book. You can then say, “These are different because they’re not alike. The ball is round and the book is flat.”

Let your young learner use this fun worksheet to identify the item in each row that is different from the rest.

Beginning Sounds Printables

Introducing the beginning sounds to preschoolers can be daunting, but there are a few simple strategies that can make it easier.

One way is to start with a letter of the week approach. We have tons of letter of the week activites here on this site!

You can also use games and activities to help your child learn the beginning sounds. Some parents like to use flashcards, but you can also use objects around the house to help your child learn the beginning sounds. If you are looking for a way to homeschool preschool, there are a lot of great resources available to you.

We like to do a varoety of things, including using printable activity packs, like this one here. Our beginning sounds worksheet references fun pictures from the story and gives a place for your young learner to fill in the correct beginning sound.

Counting Printables with Cut and Paste Activities

There are many benefits to using counting printables with cut and paste activities for preschool and homeschool kids.

One of the main benefits is that it helps to improve fine motor skills. Cutting and pasting help preschoolers to develop the muscles in their hands and fingers, which is important for writing and other fine motor tasks.

In addition, using counting printables with cut and paste activities is also a great way to help kids learn numbers and number recognition.

By cutting out the numbers and then pasting them in order, kids can start to understand what numbers represent and how they can be used.

Finally, counting printables with cut and paste activities are also just plain fun! They provide a great opportunity for kids to be creative and use their imaginations. Plus, when kids are having fun, they’re more likely to retain what they’re learning.
