These activities make great morning tubs or center activities for your PreK/ preschool aged students. They cover a wide range of math and literacy skills including shape recognition, counting, letter tracing practice, and more. They also provide your students opportunities for strengthening their fine motor muscles, practicing pencil grip, and working on tracing skills.
How do they work?
Teach your students first thing in the morning to hang their backpacks, put their lunchbox away, and grab a morning tub! The management is up to you, whether you want to assign partners to specific tubs or let your students choose. All the skills are perfect for the beginning of the year kindergarteners and they can work on everything independently, giving you time to focus your attention on other needs!

Other materials you will need:
Most of the things you need will be things that you may have in your classroom or can find fairly reasonably at your local stores. The manipulatives I used for these activities are dry-erase markers, magnet letters, velcro dots, pom pom balls, play-doh, clothespins, pipe cleaners, and plastic buttons.
