A Look Inside The Harvest Box
Corn Maze Escape
This Corn Maze Escape game is filled of harvest-themed fun and, like all the My Pre-K Box activities, is full of learning opportunities for your preschooler. In this game, each player will spin a spinner using a paperclip and pencil and move the appropriate number of spaces on their Corn Maze Escape game board. Each space they land on will tell your preschooler how many corn kernels to add or take away from their Corn Maze Escape Player Card. Once a player reaches the finish space, whoever has the most corn kernels wins! Who knew developing your number sense could be so much fun!
Serving Syllables
This game is a great way for your preschooler to develop math and language skills while pretending to set the table for Thanksgiving! On each Serving Syllables card is a Thanksgiving food word containing between 1 and 3 syllables. Each time your preschooler draws a card you will say the word and then have your preschooler segment the word into syllables (ex. gra-vy) and practice clapping every time they say each syllable (“gra” (clap) “vy” (clap)). Then your preschooler will set a feather down every time they say a syllable and count the number of feathers to determine the total number of syllables in each word. The food card will then get placed on the appropriate Serving Syllables game mat.
Counting Feathers
There are so many ways to play this fun fall themed game and lots of opportunities to build your preschooler’s growing number sense! In this activity, your preschooler will draw a card and mimic the number of fingers shown, identify the number, and put the corresponding number of feathers down on the turkey. The easy-to-use guides in The Harvest Box (and all of the monthly thematic boxes from My Pre-K Box) offer important discussion topics with the activities to allow for deeper engagement and understanding. For instance in this Harvest Box activity, you and your preschooler can talk about how the numbers between 6 and 10 are composed of 5 and then some more (ex. 5 and 1 makes 6).
Design a Turkey Sensory Play
This simple STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) activity will allow your preschooler’s imagination to run wild as they design their own turkey using the Turkey Design Cards and materials provided. Using beads, feathers, fuzzy sticks, and play dough your preschooler is sure to have a blast with this hands-on harvest themed activity!
Scarecrow Word Blending BINGO
Who doesn’t love playing BINGO? This cute harvest activity combines all the fun of this classic game with word blending practice – the first step towards ‘sounding out’ and reading words! In this Scarecrow Word Blending BINGO game, each player will have a game mat, harvest foam sticker game pieces, and a deck of cards that each contain two words. You will read the words off each selected card (ex. foot, ball) and then invite your preschooler to blend the two words together (ex. football). The player who has the picture of the word on their Scarecrow BINGO mat will then cover it with a harvest game piece. The first one to get three-in-a-row WINS!
Shoot a Turkey
You know those cool turkeys your preschooler got to make during the Turkey Sensory Play activity? This fun STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) project uses their turkey along with craft sticks, rubber bands, and a spoon to launch a projectile and “Shoot a Turkey!” There is so much for your preschooler to explore in this harvest themed activity as they experiment with how to best position and launch the projectile so it reaches the turkey.
Turkey Necklace
The Harvest Box wouldn’t be complete without this cute turkey craft that is sure to make a great accessory to wear to Thanksgiving dinner! Not only will your preschooler have lots of fun making their very own turkey necklace, they will also get practice with their fine motor skills while peeling stickers and stringing beads. Have more than one preschooler? No problem! You can add duplicate crafts to your box for just $3.25 each!
