Alphabet Building Cards
While we may be taking school things slow during this time, I wanted to make sure that some of our Nativity activities still included some helpful academic practice. And these alphabet cards are just that!
There are so many ways to use these alphabet building cards! Laminate for repeated use, them trace with dry erase marker or build the letters using any of your favorite manipulatives! We love building letters with play dough, mini erasers, dry beans, and more!
Alphabet Find and Cover
Working on letter recognition? These 2 alphabet Find and Cover mats will be so helpful! Students choose an alphabet card, identify the letter on it, and find/cover that letter on that mat! You can even take practice up a notch by calling out letter sounds and having little learners find and cover the letter that makes that sound!
Starry Shape Building
Build shapes using this starry center! Students choose a shape card, identify the shape, then build it using manipulatives on the mat. We love using these little star mini erasers we found in the Target Dollar Spot!
Counting Lamb Puffs
Okay, but could we have a set of Nativity activities and NOT included a lamb?! This sweet counting activity is sure to engage your little learners! Students choose a number card, identify the number, then build that amount of “puffs” on the lamb using cotton balls. We love a fun activity that uses supplies we already have on hand at home!
Pre-Writing Tracing Strips
If you’re working with little bitty learners, these pre-writing tracing strips will be super helpful! Simply laminate them for repeated use. Then, practice tracing the lines with a dry erase marker or build the line using manipulatives like mini erasers, play dough, and more!
Cutting Strips
Scissor skills are so important! These simple cutting strips will be so helpful for little ones who are working to strengthen their fine motor skills.
Nativity Matching Mat
One of our absolute favorite activities with little ones are sensory bin matching mats! These activities are perfect for practicing visual discrimination and matching. But they’re also super handy for retelling stories, discussing important vocabulary, and more!
Nativity Vocabulary Tracing Cards
Speaking of vocabulary, these Nativity-themed vocabulary tracing cards will be so helpful as you study the story of the first Christmas! Looking for more Advent resources? Check out our favorites using the button below!
