Preschool Activities to practice shape identification
It’s Wednesday, and here at Preschool Ponderings, that means time to focus on the standards.

Friday Freebie – 5 Little Pancakes
Yay for Friday! For this week’s freebie I wanted an activity that you could do with all of the Daytime Slumber Party ideas that I shared yesterday.
