Z is for Zipper (preschool)

The girls had fun learning about zippers today. They like painting and games that we had today. We got our recourses for today from the Z is for Zebra, Zinnia, & Zipper Teachers Pay Teachers pack.

Zipper Science

• We read from the Abeka Preschool Language Development Cards to learn more zippers.
• We learned more about zipperss by watching this How a Zipper Works video.
• She also did her Zipper page from her Abeka Letters & Sounds for 3’s book.
• We also learned about the Parts of a Zipper with this poster.

Zipper Science

• The girls each had a similar writing paper for the letter Z. My 3 year old had a capital Z and lowercase z with tracing arrows, along with a zipper to color. The 5 year old had the same paper, but added a short poem and more tracing Z’s and z’s on the bottom. I found both of these in the Z is for Zebra, Zinnia, & Zipper Teachers Pay Teachers pack.

Z is for Zipper

• I printed this Z is for Zipper Craft onto cardstock for the girls to paint. I cut out the capital “Z” for them to paint. After that dried they glued it to a piece of construction paper. Then the used watercolors to paint the zippers and I cut them out for them to glue on.

Zipper Worksheets

• She also practiced tracing her numbers with the Zipper Number Trace sheet.
• They also like the Z is for Zipper coloring page.
• Last we Matched the Zipper Letters of the capital and lowercase vowels.

Zipper Painting Craft

• I printed out the Zipper Painting Craft for the girls to have more painting today. First they used their watercolors on the zipper pull. Then they painted tabs on the zipper chain piece. Once the pull tab dried, they cut it out and glued it to the top of the chain piece.

Zipper Color Matching

• I printed out the  Zipper Color Matching game and then cut the pieces and laminated them. She reviewed each color as she matched up the colored jacket with the matching colored zipper.
