Today, we learned about sailboats! Our preschoolers learned that most sailboats have just one hull and rely on the wind to move. The tall masts help catch the wind and push the boat forward. But on calm, windless days, sailboats need a little help—like paddles or engines—to keep moving.
For our Invitation to Create, the children chose colorful shapes to design their own sailboats. Through this creative process, they practiced fine motor skills, explored spatial awareness, and got a little introduction to physical science!
We also had fun with letters! We focused on writing V and Y. The children took turns rolling a letter cube, naming the letter it landed on, and writing it on paper. If they needed a little help, I would write the letter first so they could trace it. Then, they matched each letter to a sailboat and placed it inside—turning our boats into floating letter carriers!
They colored and cut a diamond and glued into their journals.
It was a fun and engaging way to blend art, science, and literacy!
