  5. Read Thomas Tells Time as your Preschooler follows along and changes the time on their own clock.

We’ve been reading this book and doing this activity for almost two weeks now and my preschooler loves it.  She’s understanding the concept of telling time and has even recognized the time on a clock!  With this book you can add in doing times i.e 6:15 or 6:30 etc.  We took the first two weeks and only did hourly times.  Next week I’m going to incorporate the 6:15 time telling.

We are a husband and wife team, pairing our strengths together to teach our preschooler in the most fun and engaging way we possibly can.  The mister is a high school educator at Northlake Christian school in Covington Louisiana and over the Innovation Center, which is all things STEAM.  I am a SAHM that blogs pretty much everything we do in our little paradise, from what we eat, to where we travel to how we teach our little one.  We hope you are inspired to incorporate STEAM into learning with your children.
