SCREEN FREE CODING FOR PRESCHOOLERS


I’m a firm believer in letting my preschooler explore and learn through hands on activities. I find myself drawn more towards the screen free coding activities as she is so young and I truly feel like the manipulative only strengthen her fine motor skills.   I hope you’ll use this free coding worksheet as a resource to help you out!  STEM for kids #STEAM #Preschool #preschooler #freeprintable #printable #earthwormactivity #screenfree #preschool #stemkids #stem

You may wonder how preschoolers can learn coding at such a young age, you have to start somewhere, right?  Starting with basics and simple coding with the end goal being to one day code for computers.  This is a preschool coding activity without computers to prepare them for the next step in learning to code.   As an activity focused around screen free coding for preschoolers it’s the first step for early learners in the world of coding with sequence and following patterns.STEAM Activities for Preschoolers STEM for kids #STEAM #Preschool #preschooler #freeprintable #printable #earthwormactivity #screenfree #preschool #stemkids #stem

EASY CODING FOR PRESCHOOLERS

Today I’m sharing our most recent STEAM activity for preschoolers centered around earthworms.  For you moms or preschool teachers this is an easy worm activity for preschoolers to plan and prep for.  I’m all about easy for us…plus it only requires the FREE Printable and a few other materials needed.screen free coding #STEAM #Preschool #preschooler #freeprintable #printable #earthwormactivity #screenfree #preschool #stemkids #stem

Earthworm CODING FOR PRESCHOOLERS

I strongly encourage you to let your little three and four year old preschoolers explore the materials first.  If you don’t let them explore you will frustrate them as well as yourself…giving them the time to explore the materials allows them to engage strongly in the activity.  It’s a very healthy way to start an activity, otherwise they are too excited, won’t listen and everyone ends up frustrated!  With me on that one?coding without computers #STEAM #Preschool #preschooler #freeprintable #printable #earthwormactivity #screenfree #preschool #stemkids #stem

Prep: Go ahead with two wiggly eyes and hot glue them onto your pipe cleaner.  (create a little circle for the “face”)

HOW TO CODE FOR PRESCHOOLERS

1- Laminate: I always laminate my printable first, so this way we can use them over and over…with easy clean up if need be.

2- Sort Colors: Have your preschooler sort all of the pony bead colors.

3- Talk and Ask: Talk about the different colors and ask questions as you are sorting.screen free coding for preschoolers #STEAM #Preschool #preschooler #freeprintable #printable #earthwormactivity #screenfree #preschool #stemkids #stem preschool coding #STEAM #Preschool #preschooler #freeprintable #printable #earthwormactivity #screenfree #preschool #stemkids #stem preschool screen free coding #STEAM #Preschool #preschooler #freeprintable #printable #earthwormactivity #screenfree #preschool #stemkids #stem

4- Follow Pattern: Let them begin to sequence and pattern on their printable, matching the colors.

5- Art: Now go ahead and let them place the pattern on the pipe cleaner earth worm.

6- Complete:  At the end of the pipe cleaner once the pattern is complete, circle around the last bead and push the remaining piece of pipe cleaner through other pony beads.  Feel free to cut extra off if needed.earthworm activities sheet #STEAM #Preschool #preschooler #freeprintable #printable #earthwormactivity #screenfree #preschool #stemkids #stem earthworm STEAM activity #STEAM #Preschool #preschooler #freeprintable #printable #earthwormactivity #screenfree #preschool #stemkids #stem worm activity sheet #STEAM #Preschool #preschooler #freeprintable #printable #earthwormactivity #screenfree #preschool #stemkids #stem

Remember the entire process with STEAM is so vital and important. If you are new to the idea of STEAM Activities for Kids and the process please be sure to hop over to my article on Everything You Need to Know about STEAM.  Here I try to go in depth on why STEAM is important in Early Childhood Education.

  1. Investigate – what I just talked about in letting them explore the materials leads to #2.
  2. Discover – let them discover the materials, talk about the materials and what they are made of. 
  3. Connect – connect earthworms to their lives, go outside and talk about where earthworms live, talk about the colors they are using.printable coding games #STEAM #Preschool #preschooler #freeprintable #printable #earthwormactivity #screenfree #preschool #stemkids #stem coding worksheets #STEAM #Preschool #preschooler #freeprintable #printable #earthwormactivity #screenfree #preschool #stemkids #stem free printable #STEAM #Preschool #preschooler #freeprintable #printable #earthwormactivity #screenfree #preschool #stemkids #stem
  4. Create – create the patterns/coding and place on pipe cleaner.
  5. Reflect – ask them about earthworms, ask them about the patterns they created – get them to talk!

Also remember STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math.  So within this one preschool earthworm activity you are able to incorporate:

Science – talk about earthworms and the importance they are within our soil and gardens.screen free coding printable #STEAM #Preschool #preschooler #freeprintable #printable #earthwormactivity #screenfree #preschool #stemkids #stem coding activities without a computer #STEAM #Preschool #preschooler #freeprintable #printable #earthwormactivity #screenfree #preschool #stemkids #stem coding worksheets for preschool #STEAM #Preschool #preschooler #freeprintable #printable #earthwormactivity #screenfree #preschool #stemkids #stem

Engineering – building earthworms and problem solving patterns

Art- Talk about colors and the fun activity of putting together your earthworms.

Math- We always counted our pony beads as well as counted how many earthworms we made!free coding worksheets #STEAM #Preschool #preschooler #freeprintable #printable #earthwormactivity #screenfree #preschool #stemkids #stem screen free coding worksheet #STEAM #Preschool #preschooler #freeprintable #printable #earthwormactivity #screenfree #preschool #stemkids #stem Screen Free Coding for Preschoolers #STEAM #Preschool #preschooler #freeprintable #printable #earthwormactivity #screenfree #preschool #stemkids #stem

    Hello, I am having a hard time downloading the free printables. I have subscribed to your sight and received the password. I did download one item but when i went back to download something else it wouldn’t let me until i joined again and when i went all the way back to the email you sent me the second time it didn’t ask for the password. Very confused. I am interested in your earthworm coding activity. Thank you for addressing this issue.
