Playful Learning: Engaging Activities for Preschoolers

Introduction:

In the vibrant world of preschoolers, every moment is an opportunity for learning and discovery. Engaging preschooler fun doesn’t just keep them entertained; it sparks their curiosity, nurtures their creativity, and lays the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. In this blog, we'll explore some educational playtime ideas that promise to make learning an adventure for your little ones.

Storytelling Sessions:

Engage your preschooler's imagination with interactive storytelling sessions. Use colorful picture books, puppets, or even make up stories together. Encourage them to participate by asking questions and letting them add their own twists to the tales. Storytelling not only enhances language skills but also fosters creativity and critical thinking.

Sensory Play:

Create sensory bins filled with various materials like rice, beans, water, or sand. Add scoops, containers, and toys for exploration. Sensory play stimulates the senses and helps children develop their fine motor skills, cognitive abilities, and language development. Plus, it's a ton of fun!

Nature Walks:

Take your preschooler on nature walks to explore the world around them. Point out different plants, animals, and natural phenomena. Collect leaves, rocks, or flowers to examine later. Nature walks not only provide fresh air and exercise but also teach children about the environment and foster a sense of wonder and appreciation for the natural world.

Arts and Crafts:

Set up a designated arts and crafts area with paper, crayons, paints, glue, and various craft supplies. Encourage your preschooler to unleash their creativity by making artwork, collages, or sculptures. Arts and crafts activities promote fine motor skills, self-expression, and problem-solving abilities.

Pretend Play:

Encourage imaginative play by providing costumes, props, and pretend playsets. Whether it's playing house, pretending to be superheroes, or hosting a tea party, pretend play allows children to explore different roles, express themselves, and develop social skills like cooperation and empathy.

Conclusion:

Engaging preschooler fun isn't just about keeping children busy; it's about creating meaningful learning experiences that ignite their curiosity and enthusiasm for learning. By incorporating educational playtime ideas like storytelling, sensory play, nature walks, arts and crafts, and pretend play into their daily routine, you can make learning a playful and enjoyable adventure for your little ones.

Remember, the best learning happens when children are having fun! So, let your preschoolers' imaginations run wild and watch as they discover, create, and learn through play.

Thinking pre-timeskip tazmily was some quaint utopia tainted by Porky/capitalism flattens the story quite a bit. In my opinion, the point was since the Tazmilians chose to forget history instead of learn from it, they were susceptible to the same downfalls as before, Porky just accelerated it.

Tazmily likely would have lasted much longer without his involvement, but their ignorance made them easy to persuade into speedrunning inhumane industrialization and consumerism, so they may have made the same mistakes more gradually without his interference.

You may say to yourself things such as "wow, mantis god, you seem really behind for bugtober this year", and you would be right, but what you can't see behind the scenes is that we are actually being surprisingly productive in the hours of the day that are not dedicated to school, it's just that some months ago we happen to have thought to ourself "well, we enjoy learning things, so maybe we should take a hack at school since the grant is decent, get some actual certification on our resume so we can get a real job" and then forgot that the reason we don't already have official certification is because formal schooling historically has had worse effects on our overall mental health than almost literally anything else in our life, and now that's eating 4-6 hours of our life per day with an extra few hours of recovery after which makes it unfortunately difficult to work on art.

Finding Family (Fizz's Found Family)-Chapter 1

Fizz's First Performance

(tw: mentions of childhood neglect)

Being a kid in Greed wasn’t easy. The only way to survive was to be slippery, and find a way to forget some of the shit you saw. There weren’t many kids in greed, at least not that Fizzarolli knew of. Until recently, he spent most of his time hiding in whatever room or apartment his mother and him shared. He listened for footsteps and told her when people were at the door before the knocking was loud enough to feel in the floorboards. He hid when his mother told him to, blocking out the outside world by thinking of whatever could make him laugh. Later, when his mom was sad, he’d try to make her laugh with everything he’d thought of.

But he hadn’t been able to make Mama laugh in days.

Nobody had come to the door in two days. Mama hadn’t smiled in three. Instead she closed her eyes, effectively tuning her out from the world unless Fizz came to tickle her. She usually didn’t like that, though, so he hadn’t tried.

They’re living in one of the nicer apartments right now. It only has a small kitchen and the bathroom is down the hallways and shared with 10 other people on the floor, but this one has a mattress and a television. That’s better than the last place they were at. Fizz crawls from the mattress. Mama has been facing the wall for the last while. She doesn’t turn to look at him when he crawls off the mattress and turns on the television. He could leave the volume up, she wouldn’t notice, but he kept it silent. In case he had to listen to footsteps.

The screen flickered on, grainy and low contrast. Even with the poor quality of the screen, however, Fizz could see how colorful it was supposed to be. Bright Green striped the screen as a large Jester danced on a stage. He couldn’t hear what the man was saying but it didn’t matter. He was captivating. Fizz couldn’t keep his eyes off him.

Mammon he learned was the man’s name. Fizz liked how it sounded sort of like Mama on his tongue. He liked that they sounded similar. Both Mammon and Mama made him laugh, they made him want to be something great. The comfort of their similarities was Fizz's own personal secret, though. Mama couldn't hear him say either of their names, and Mama didn't smile when Fizz went on about Mammon anyway.

He practiced his juggling as often as he could. Whether it be balled up socks or pieces of paper. If he could swipe some fruit or potatoes, he’d practice with those until they needed to be eaten. Sometimes he’d tried with rocks. When he didn’t have anything to juggle, he worked on pantomime.

It wasn’t a secret, but he practiced the most when Mama wasn’t looking. Every time Fizz tried to talk about Mammon she rolled her eyes. No Money, She would tell him when he mentioned him. He didn’t understand what that had to do with anything yet. She said No money about a lot of things, it never stopped the two of them from dreaming before.

----

Mama taught Fizz how to dream at an early age. It’s important she’d tell him, If you can dream it, you can make it happen. You can do anything you set your mind to. When he’d wake up in the middle of the night from a bad dream, Mama would hold him and scratch between his horns.

What’s the dream you’d like to have? She’d smile at him and rock him. Sometimes he would tell her, sometimes he’d close his eyes and go back to sleep while thinking of all the wonderful things he could dream.

In the mornings when Mama would be getting ready for the day, Fizz would ask her about her dreams. Her answer was always the same: To get out of here. He never knew where here was, they were always in a new place. He didn’t argue, though. He just started thinking of all the new places they could go together.

When Mama would leave for work, Fizz would think about all the places they could go. He’d have a new story for her when she got home, something to make her smile. He loved making his Mama smile. On the nights that Mama didn’t come home, Fizz would curl up under his blanket and think of all the wonderful dreams he could have. Sometimes, he managed to dream of something nice.

____

Mammon quickly became his dream. This could be their escape. If he could be as talented as Mammon was, he could get Mama out of here. If he could be good enough, Mama would smile again.

After a week of sneaking Mammon’s television program every moment he could, the screen changed. Instead of the clown’s face looking back at him, a big OVERDUE notice was on the screen. Fizz didn’t know how to read, he didn’t know what it meant, he just knew that Mammon wasn’t on the television anymore.

He told himself it didn’t matter. Today he was going to try his act for his mother. She’d gotten out of bed today, she’d left the house before Fizz woke up. She’d left two dollars on the counter. That was more money than Fizz had been entrusted with ever. Today was going to be a good day. Today, he was going to get Mama to smile. Today he was going to be like Mammon.

Five year old Fizzarolli had never been farther than his quarter of these mazing slums alone, but with two whole dollars! Who knew what he could do? He knew to lock the door before he left, but Mama didn’t leave a key. He made sure one of the windows was unlocked, but a small one. The bathroom, then. Fizz tucked his two dollars into his pocket, double locked the front door and headed to the bathroom. He was small enough to fit through the top latch of the window. All he had to do was climb onto the toilet, hop onto the windowsill, and shimmy up the frame until he could pull himself out. Then, he had to find the small sill on the outside and stand on it so that he could close the window again. Mama hated when he left the windows open.

Two dollars, it turns out, could not get you a lot in Greed. Fizz managed to make his way out of the complex without much notice. He walked towards the bus stop like him and Mama did to go to the market. The bus took both of his dollars and gave him change and a small blue and green card in return. It was three stops to the market. He could still get something magical for Mama there.

He was lucky that Mama had gotten him new clothes a few weeks ago. You’re getting so big. She said after pulling an oversized sweater over him. You need bigger clothes to fit into. These should last you awhile. Bigger clothes also meant that he could sneak more things. He was small, cute, easy to distract and great with his hands. When he was with Mama, he’d hide under her skirt and take whatever was low hanging enough and tasty looking. Today he was looking for juggling materials.

Three meager potatoes hid in the imp’s sleeve that he cradled to his arm, pretending it was injured. He tried slipping an apple into his pocket as well, but was caught and forced to surrender the rest of his change in exchange for it. It was worth it though, and nobody ever caught on about the potatoes.

The hell hound driving the bus points at Fizz’s ticket when he gives it to her. ONE WAY is printed in big letters. She explained he needed to pay more if he wanted to ride the bus, but he’d spent all of his money on the first bus and his apple so he got off and walked. He followed the bus’s path home. Four more passed him as he walked. He found a newspaper that wasn’t too dirty and even managed to pick a few flowers growing from cracks in the gutter. His legs were sore and he was tired when he finally made it back to their tiny apartment, but the five year old Fizzarolli’s heart was happy.

It wasn’t the easiest crawl back in from the bathroom window, but he’d climbed through plenty of windows before. He had to pull himself up onto the windowsill first, then scoot the window down from the top. He was thankful that he didn’t have to walk back on his arms, because he wouldn’t have been able to pull himself up and inside if they were as sore as his legs were.

When he heard the familiar footsteps of Mama many hours later, Fizzarolli straightened. He waited in the dark, doing his best to hide his excitement. He’d crafted a hat out of newspaper, a simple cone with the gutter flowers poking out the top. It was a little lopsided and unstable, but he considered it another challenge. A balancing act. When the lights turned on and Fizz was met with his mother’s face staring at him, the little imp lit up.

Introducing the great Fizzarolli! He signed, his smile so wide it made his cheeks hurt. He held onto his hat as he bowed. First act: juggling. Except this was a trick. Oh, Mama was going to be so impressed!

Fizz pretended to take his three potatoes out of his pocket. His eyebrows raised as he looked down at the invisible balls in his hand. He practiced the movements of juggling, his eyes following the invisible movement of the balls before looking over at her. She wasn’t smiling yet, but her attention was on him. He took the opportunity to act as though he’d dropped one of the balls and they’d hit him on the head.

The door closed behind Mama and he could see the beginnings of a smile. The act picked up. Fizzarolli picked the invisible balls up and threw them behind him, looking back to make sure he hadn’t broken a window. He could hear the soft snort that meant Mama thought he was being cute. He pulled the potatoes out of his pocket and juggled them. He alternated between standing on one leg and standing on both. He couldn’t juggle them for longer than six or seven seconds at a time, but it didn’t matter. By the time his show was over, Mama was laughing.

He ran into her arms after his bows. He’d missed his Mama so much.

My little jester. She signed, pressing her horns against his. He could feel tears drip onto his head. She must be so proud of him.

That night, Fizz fell asleep thinking about his Mama’s smile.

______________________________________________________________

Lifetimes later, Fizzarolli finds himself awake in his palace. He is no longer alone; Asmodeous sleeps sprawled on his back and snoring while Fizz tries to calm to the rise and fall of his love’s chest. Fizz is safe, but he’s not settled.

He can’t remember Mama’s face anymore.

Asmodeus roused a while later. He was becoming accustomed to waking up in the middle of the night without the usual weight of Fizzarolli on his chest. This was the third time this week Fizz had run off in the middle of the night. It had been less than a month since Fizz had quit Mammon and ever since Fizz had been…..all over the place. The king sighed as he accepted his fate for the night. He just hoped Fizz would be easy to find. The last time Fizz got up in the night, Ozzie found him in the kitchen cupboards halfway through a box of Bee’s cotton candy cereal. He wasn’t even picking out just the marshmallows.

Something hit him in the head followed by a dejected sigh that has Asmodeus up and alert in an instant. The light contrast of Fizzarolli’s night cap flitting around the trapeze above their bed let Asmodeus know that Fizz hadn’t left the room.

“Froooooggy” Ozzie’s voice sang from his spot in their bed. He sounded amused, it was the easiest way to keep the concern from edging in.

Fizz didn’t answer him.

Asmodeus sighed and floated up to Fizz’s height. He looked exhausted, not unlike how he’d looked in the days leading up to Mamm’s contest. “Babe, come on back to bed. Tell me what’s on your mind? I’ll give you a rub down...we can just talk.” Fizz wouldn’t look at him, no matter which angle Ozzie tried to catch his eye. Gentle worry turned to a more fiery concern.

“Fizzy”

I’m fine! Fizz signed, wadded up balls of paper fell from his hands as his arms grew in size to make his message very clear. Fizz had never signed to him before, and it happened so fast that Asmodius barely registered what he’d done until it was over and Fizz was flipping him off. His face, however, showed no malice in it. He looked sad. When Oz didn’t waver, he watched Fizzarolli’s face crumple. The clown leaned backwards, letting himself fall safely for a while before catching himself with his legs so he could hang upside down.

“You’re not fine. Fiz, this is the third night this week you’ve been up doing some bullshit instead of sleeping. What is on your mind, Fizzy Frog?” Ozzie had been patient when Fizz didn’t want to talk all the previous nights, but Fizz hadn’t pushed him away like this then. “Is this about Mammon still? I’ve told you, Fizzy. I’ve got it covered. I don’t care what he says about us. And you still have a career if you want one. You are the most talented, inspiring, creative, original-”

“It’s not about Mammon!” The room was suddenly very quiet.

Fizz was crying.

“Talk to me, Froggy.”

Fizzarolli let his body go limp. Ozzie worried that he was going to hurt himself in the fall from the trapeze to the bed but Fizz was a natural performer, he knew exactly how to fall. Fizarrolli caught himself at just the right time, curling up into a ball and pressing his knees to his chest as soon as his body hit the mattress. Ozzie returned to the bed and sat beside him.

The gentle sound of sobs filled the silence. Ozzie’s hand rubbed circles against Fizzarolli’s back until he was ready to speak again.

“I-I’m….I’m dreaming about Mama again.”

I think the worst thing about the perception of health, both mental and physical, and being disabled in either regard, is that the need for extra support is often viewed, institutionally and therefore culturally, as a dehumanizing element rather than a simple fact of the human experience. No man is an island, and yet, when it comes to needing anything from an IEP to a caretaker, these things are used to subvert one's rights and create the expectation of failure and that's a little ableist innit.

Toddler - Tweezing

Look at that focus! Using tweezers is a phenomenal way to develop fine motor skills and improve a toddler's hand-eye coordination. Toddler-age students often use a whole-hand grasp for tweezing exercises, though, as they continue to practice, they hone their fine motor skills and begin to use the 3-finger grip, strengthening fingers for future writing. In addition, transferring from left to right prepares the brain for reading and writing later in development and repetition and practice helps children develop focus and concentration. Who knew such a simple activity could help in so many ways?

hey throwback to the time I went to Colonial Williamsburg* and, despite being NINE YEARS OLD, managed to put together a costume that made ppl assume I was a paid re-enactor (though, as I was quick to point out, the cut of the dress and brim of the mobcap were actually more appropriate to the 1850s, but my MOM, who bought my dress, just couldn't learn her history...), and proceeded to abuse my Cool Outfit Privileges in a way that I've honestly never come close to topping since.

I swear this actually happened.

I was watching the minutemen's** parade and basking in the Aesthetic(tm) of it all when a group of ACTUAL re-enactors dressed as redcoats*** muscled their way in front of the crowd and started reading the (actual genuine) Riot Act to the tourists, admonishing them for unlawful assembly, "in the name of the king" blah blah blah while gently herding them towards a fenced-in staging area for the next part of the show.

I knew this was all a performance. However, I was also nine years old and autisic, with zero concept of social appropriateness and the (correct) belief that I knew more about this period of history than 99% of the tourists.... plus I apparently had ZERO CHILL.

In a rush of Feral LARPer Instinct that bordered on divine inspiration, I slipped, unnoticed, through the crowd to a smallish tree poking a couple feet above crowd level. Clambering up, I braced myself against a branch and looked out over the crowd, at the tourists civilians packed standing-room-only as the redcoats denounced their freedom, OUR freedom, in the name of their king. And I started yelling.

"LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION, LONG LIVE THE UNited-- uH, LONG LIVE THE THIRTEEN COLONIES! LONG LIVE INDEPENDENCE!"

The surrounding tourists looked up and saw a skinny kid with, buckteeth, freckles and the general aura of a half-starved 1700s farm child in (to them) full historical costume, and assumed it was part of the show.

They took up my cries, some raising their fists in the air in solidarity, growing louder and more enthusiastic until the crowd stampeded as one, breaking out from the stage area and (still playfully of course) crowding the redcoats offstage and pursuing them back the way they came.

I really do wonder what the guys playing the redcoats were thinking as Literally Just Some Kid wearing a modified amazon pioneer costume hijacked their re-enactment and rallied the other tourists to full (and accurate-ish) revolt. Like, what the fuck????

After everyone had trickled out, I stayed in the tree for a few minutes, watching for further retaliation from the brits and slowly being hit by the reality of what had just happened. In a haze of overwhelming shock and euphoric glee, I jumped down from my perch in the tree, rejoined my mother, and continued our tour of Williamsburg.

(...I think. The fact that I Did That broke my brain so much that I don't remember anything else of the trip until after we got home and I was going through my souvenir bag.)

so yeah that's the story of how I led a successful mock rebellion when I was nine.

*it's literally in the name that this whole thing was racist and colonialist asf, even more so back in 2008. Just to acknowledge the context this story occurs in.

**if you don't live in america or aren't a massive nerd, "minutemen" were independence movement's the civilian reserve force. the Little Flute And Drum dudes.

***if you don't live in america or aren't a massive nerd, "redcoats" was a derogatory term that the revolutionaries coined for british soldiers due to their red military coats.

Nursery Class Activities Ideas: Engaging Young Minds at Makoons Preschool

At Makoons Preschool, we believe that early childhood education is about much more than just academic learning. It’s about shaping well-rounded individuals who possess creativity, social skills, and emotional intelligence. To achieve this, we incorporate a variety of nursery class activities designed to engage young minds, fostering a love for learning through exploration and play. These activities not only help develop critical cognitive and motor skills but also make learning fun and interactive for children.

In this blog, we will discuss innovative nursery class activities ideas that you can try at home or in a classroom setting to enhance your child’s learning experience.

Sensory Play: Enhancing Curiosity Through Touch and Feel

Sensory play is a fundamental component of early childhood development. It allows children to explore the world through their senses—touch, sight, smell, taste, and sound—stimulating brain development and improving problem-solving skills. Some great nursery class activities ideas for sensory play include:

Sensory Bins: Fill a shallow bin with materials like rice, pasta, water beads, or sand. Children can explore these materials with their hands, discovering different textures, weights, and temperatures.

Play Dough Creations: Encourage children to mold shapes, numbers, or letters using colorful play dough. This not only enhances their fine motor skills but also boosts creativity.

Water Play: Provide tubs of water with various objects like sponges, cups, and small toys. This helps children learn about water flow, textures, and cause-and-effect relationships.

At Makoons Preschool sensory play is integrated into our daily activities, allowing children to learn through hands-on experiences.

Art and Craft: Boosting Creativity and Fine Motor Skills

Art activities are essential for developing a child’s creativity, self-expression, and fine motor coordination. Providing children with the freedom to create with their hands helps them discover their own artistic voice while also improving hand-eye coordination. Some creative nursery class activities ideas include:

Finger Painting: Set up a safe space where children can paint using their fingers. It’s a tactile and visually stimulating activity that allows children to explore color mixing and patterns.

Collage Making: Provide magazines, paper, glue, and scissors, and encourage children to create a collage on a specific theme (e.g., animals or nature). This activity helps develop visual-spatial skills and fine motor control.

Clay Modeling: Children can use clay to create animals, shapes, or imaginative figures. This helps build strength in their fingers while improving creativity.

At Makoons Preschool, art and craft sessions are a regular part of our curriculum, helping children develop both motor skills and creative thinking.

3. Story Time and Puppet Shows: Enhancing Language and Imagination

Storytelling is a wonderful way to improve a child’s vocabulary, listening skills, and comprehension. By incorporating stories into everyday activities, we can introduce children to new ideas, cultures, and morals. Some nursery class activities ideas that revolve around storytelling include:

Interactive Storytelling: Read a story to the class and ask children to participate by acting out parts of the story or answering questions. This boosts comprehension and imagination.

Puppet Shows: Use puppets to tell stories or have the children create their own puppet shows. This enhances their communication skills while fostering creativity.

Story Drawing: After reading a story, ask children to draw their favorite part. This encourages them to think critically about the story and express their understanding through art.

At Makoons Preschool, story time is not just about reading—it’s an interactive experience that fosters a love for language and learning.

4. Group Games: Promoting Teamwork and Social Skills

Playing together helps children learn the value of cooperation, sharing, and communication. Group games are also a fun way to develop physical coordination and problem-solving abilities. Here are some effective nursery class activities ideas that promote social interaction:

Musical Chairs: This classic game is perfect for teaching children about taking turns and following directions, all while improving physical agility.

Pass the Ball: In a circle, children pass a ball to one another. Each child has to say their name or answer a simple question when they get the ball. This activity helps children become more familiar with their peers and improve social interactions.

Treasure Hunt: Create a treasure map and hide objects around the classroom or playground. Children can work in teams to find the hidden treasures. This encourages problem-solving and teamwork.

At Makoons Preschool, group games are an essential part of our daily routine, helping children develop both physically and socially.

5. Outdoor Exploration: Encouraging Physical Activity and Nature Learning

Outdoor activities are crucial for developing gross motor skills, physical health, and a love for nature. The outdoors provides countless opportunities for children to engage with their environment and learn through direct interaction. Here are some nursery class activities ideas for outdoor exploration:

Nature Walks: Take children on a walk around the school grounds or a nearby park. Encourage them to observe trees, plants, birds, and insects. This helps them develop an appreciation for nature while learning about the world around them.

Obstacle Courses: Set up a simple obstacle course with cones, tunnels, and hoops. This activity improves coordination, balance, and physical endurance.

Gardening: Allow children to plant seeds in small pots or garden beds and teach them how to care for the plants. This teaches responsibility while introducing them to basic science concepts.

At Makoons Preschool, outdoor play is integral to our curriculum, providing children with a healthy balance between learning and physical activity.

Conclusion: Building Future Leaders through Engaging Activities

At Makoons Preschool, we understand that young children learn best through play, exploration, and hands-on activities. By incorporating these nursery class activities ideas into our curriculum, we create a well-rounded learning environment that promotes creativity, social skills, and cognitive development. Whether it’s sensory play, art and craft, or outdoor exploration, we aim to make every moment of learning enjoyable and enriching.

Toddler - Music

These children are very engaged with their musical instruments, working together and enjoying the sounds produced by this wonderful work. Children connect with music from a very young age. They enjoy singing, stomping, swinging, clapping, twirling scarves, and playing musical instruments. Hands on experience with musical instruments like rhythm sticks, bells, shaker eggs, drums, etc., are introduced in our toddler classroom. It has been shown that music helps children build pattern recognition and spatial reasoning, both of which are important math skills. Building music skills helps to develop auditory abilities and phonological awareness, which are foundational skills for reading.
