"Busy Bag" Activities: Mini Number & Letter Books
By Kayla • April 3, 2018
{"Busy Bags" are great to use as a transition between activities, before morning meeting, when a student finishes the lesson early, etc. We found several fantastic ideas over at The Crafty Classroom and had to pass them on a few of our favorites!}
My Counting Book
Invite your preschoolers to practice their numeral recognition and counting skills by making a simple sticker counting book. Set out homemade construction paper booklets along with foam numbers or download our colorful printable number booklet {either the or ; booklet pictured below}, provide students with a sheet of stickers, and invite them to fill the pages with the appropriate number of stickers.

My Alphabet Book
Similar to the activity above, invite your kiddos to practice letter recognition and beginning letter sounds by making an alphabet book. Once again, construction paper booklets and foam letters will certainly work, but we've created a free printable booklet to download as well {a and ; both pictured below}. Armed with the booklet, have your students think of an object that starts with each letter and draw it in the space.

[NOTE: The cut & paste alphabet book printable comes with both upper and lower case letters for varied practice.]
