We were at the beach week before last and one of my preschoolers favorite activities was walking the beach and picking up seashells!  So I got creative and we decided to use her tiny seashells for this easy shell activity.  Why not turn our experiences and adventures into a learning time, right? Seashell Screen Free Coding for Preschoolers

Let your seashells dry and that might be enough for this activity for a sitting.  The seashells have to dry anyway, so let the painting be the fun part of the day and let your preschooler go play and explore!

The next day…come back and let your preschooler sort all of their shells into color piles!  My little one loves this part, it’s become easy to her and she enjoys it!Seashell Screen Free Coding for Preschoolers

Grab your Free Seashell Screen Free Coding Printable and let your preschooler code by sequencing and following the patterns on the printable.

Coding activities without a computer starts with simple sequencing while engaging their minds in creativity, problem solving and math.  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!Seashell Screen Free Coding for Preschoolers

STEAM Activities for Preschoolers

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.

Also remember STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math.  So how can you incorporate these five areas into this activity?  Seashell Screen Free Coding for Preschoolers

I always remind myself of the learning process through the STEAM activity:

Let your preschooler

INVESTIGATE
DISCOVER
CONNECT
CREATE
REFLECT
