Learning Sensory Activities for Preschoolers: Love to Learn Linky

Welcome to One Time Through’s Thursday Love to Learn Linky.  We are featuring Learning Sensory activities today!

In case you’re new here, each week on Thursdays, we will host a linky that features LEARNING activities for kids. Awesome bloggers from all over will be linking up and sharing their best ideas for teaching our children, and each week I will feature a few of my very favourites that are perfect for 1 to 6 year olds.

We had so many fantastic ideas link up last week and it was hard to decide who to feature!  A big thank you to all the bloggers that dropped by to share.  In the end, I decided to feature 5 terrific sensory ideas that all allow kids to LEARN while they play.

Now it’s time for some more links! I hope you’ll join me and a few of my friends for a brand new linky party.

Bloggers, share your posts every Thursday and watch as we round them up and share them all over the place. Almost anything goes, we’re just hoping your activities teach kids (or us!) something (science, art, cooking, behavior, crafting, parenting etc…).

The Love to Learn Linky is hosted by:

Left Brain Craft Brain (leftbraincraftbrain.com): Anne is an ex-engineer, current stay-at-home mama writing about crafty ways to encourage creativity (and brain power!) in our kids. Each of her projects gives kids the chance to learn about a new subject and do something crafty at the same time.

Totschooling (totschooling.net): Viviana is a blogging mom to a toddler and a preschooler, sharing ideas and resources for early education. She specializes in unique, hands-on printable activities that are educational, fun and inspire creativity in young minds.

A Little Pinch of Perfect (alittlepinchofperfect.blogspot.com): Katie combines creativity, play, and learning for the perfect mishmash of fun activities that keep kiddos entertained throughout the day. She wholeheartedly believes in the power of play and feels that all activities naturally provide a fun way to learn.

One Time Through (onetimethrough.com): Sue is an Elementary School Teacher currently on leave to be at home with her preschooler son. She shares ideas for connecting and learning with kids through meaningful, play-based activities that nurture curiosity and creativity.
