Hands-on early literacy activities is all about making early literacy development fun, interactive, and engaging for young children.

Math Made Fun: Unlocking Learning with Hands-On Tools

Over the past 5 years, I have obtained different hands-on math items that have supported the learning goals of the individual students that I serve (specific to the primary grades, some upper).  I wanted to share these with my homeschool families and provide a description for each. Some materials can teach multiple concepts and this saves time and money. When you can teach a concept through hands-on materials, it helps to keep the child engaged, makes learning fun and supports learning styles.
