Clever Creations

Clever Creations is a teacher’s guide to creating over 70 simple, hands-on activities that promote a rich environment for learning and discovering. The activities: • Use common, inexpensive objects or recyclable materials or freebies in clever and unique ways • Take minimal time to create or assemble yet give children hours of exploration time. • Are language based, but also develop skills such as matching, sorting, number recognition, counting, one-to-one correspondence, and fine motor coordination. • Can be used by children independently or in groups; perfect for learning centers in early childhood and preschool classrooms or for sending home for family use. • Includes reproducible art patterns. • Are cross-referenced by theme (e.g. body parts, feelings, transportation), age range, and developmental skills, so you can choose just the right activity to meet children’s needs.
