Learning about animals in winter is such a fun topic of study. This hibernation preschool pack is filled with hands-on math, literacy, and writing centers.


Hibernation Preschool Theme 




Hibernation Subitizing- Match each chipmunk number card to the correct numbered tree.





Bear Patterns- Grab your bear counters and build and extend each pattern.






Bear Counting- Count and cover each color of dot. Write the the total number with dry erase marker.





Fine Motor Groundhog Counting- Attach a pipe cleaner to each groundhog. Count and string beads onto the pipe cleaner.



Cave Sticky Wall- I used contact paper (sticky side out) and my little guy matched our foam letters to the letters I wrote on the cave.






Bat Letter Match-  Say the letter on the bat wing. Write (or place a letter tile) on the other bat wing.




Groundhog Count and Trace- Count pom poms onto the ten frame, then trace each number.




Bear Cave Flip and Cover- Flip over a bear card, identify the number, cover the number on the cave.




Hibernation Tracing Lines- Use a dry erase marker to trace each line.




Bear Cave Bean Bag Throw- My boys love any gross motor game, so this was a lot of fun. He would throw a bean bag, and then say the letter and sound it landed on. This is easily adaptable for sight words, numbers, shapes, or colors!






Frogs in the Mud- We used brown paper shred as the base and threw in the alphabet cards. Pick a card, say the letter, and then trace the letter on the recording page.




Feed the Groundhog- Cut a hole in the mouth of the groundhog. Attach the groundhog to a box. Feed the groundhog each letter.




Polar Bear Sounds- Match each letter to that picture with that beginning sound.




Hibernation Writing Tray- Trace each letter in a writing tray of salt or coffee grounds.




Bear Shape Matching- Match each shape bear to the same shape cave.





Hibernation Sensory Bin- Sensory bins are always a lot of fun for my kids. We used beans as the base, and threw in wooden tree blocks, pine cones, and our play animals.
