If your students are tired of cutting strips but still needing to practice easy cutting, this might be a good project for them. I designed it for use in my Montessori classroom with my 2 1/2 to 3 year olds during a unit about our homes. Prepare the craft by cutting the doors and windows into strips so that the students only have to make one straight cut to separate them. Print the house images onto colored paper and cut them out.

At my preschool, we use these mats to help students learn to recognize their written name. A teacher or older student passes out all the mats before snack, and each student has to find his/her mat to know where to sit for snack. My students use real plates and cups for snack, so the mats also show them where to put those things. Unless you plan to use these only once, for a holiday party or something, you will need to laminate them. There are 5 versions of the mat, and all are visible in the pre

I created these because all the coordinate activates I found had too many squares for my kindergartener. I wanted to introduce grids as a pre-math/pre-coding activity for her. I knew she could comprehend the concept, but the activity needed to be shorter. The third picture shown (of the tree) is her work. The download includes five different picture puzzles and an answer key.
