12 Preschool Activities that begin with the letter C

Catch A Cactus With C-ABC Discovery Series

Sensory bin

I just love creating new activities each week that the kids can enjoy! This week is letter C and was so much fun! My favorite is definitely the cloud science.

This week I changed the outdoor sensory to C for cat! I have a Zoo-phonics themed line in my TpT shop for the alphabet. Here is my modernized version of what I call Catina Cat 😂.

Cold

The theme here was cold. I threw this together last minute. We had plenty of stuff around the room to add to the bin.

Cold weather clothes
Blue rice
Blue cotton balls
Snowflakes
Etc.

Construction

This pasta filler is one of my FAVORITES I’ve created, however I only get to use it about twice a year 😂. I grabbed a variety of pastas that I thought resembled construction tools, and then colored them orange, brown, black, gray, and yellow. I just love seeing AND hearing these in the class.

Sand
Stones
Construction toys
Etc.

Cupcake

Sometimes, I scratch an original thought I had because I don’t like it any more and come up with something on the spot. This was one of those days. Not my best work, but the kids seem to love these the most 😂

Cupcake tins
Colored rice
Large pompoms
Utensils
Etc.

Science

Our science area focuses on critical thinking, problem solving, and fine motor as well as many other things. It’s sort of an array of things if you will 😂

Clouds

This was my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! So much fun!

Shaving cream
Blue table cloth
Free label/chart

I used the tallest can of shaving cream from the dollar tree with the blue lid. Make sure it is NOT the gel kind! You can easily create this label on Canva.com. Tape your labels around your shaving cream can, place your blue table cloth on the table for easy clean up, and display your cloud chart. Discuss the types of clouds and have kids create them on the table!

Chicken Life Cycle

I might be a TAD obsessed with life cycle pasta sorting 😂. I just love this activity so much! Have kids sort the pasta life cycle using these super cute sorting cards/charts here.

Construction Scavenger Hunt

Okay… I know I’ve said this about the past few activities…but I also LOVE this new scavenger hunt line I have created! There are pages from A-Z for printable scavenger hunts!

Dishes/Trays

Fill a dish/tray with filler of your choice. Hide the polaroids inside and have kids find them, match them and mark them off! You can also hide the polaroids around the class/outdoors and have them mark off the images they find.

Connect The Color

Okay, you guess it…this is also a favorite 😂. What can I say? I picked all of my favorites this week! These worksheets are from the series Back to Basics, and it’s All about colors. There are 100 pages total, and work great for a busy binder, review/prep, and assessment. Have kids identify which color they need to connect and use the correct color to connect the dots. There are 3 lines on each page: 3 dots. 4 dots, and 5 dots.
