Eric Carle Preschool Activities

I have created a bundle of Eric Carle preschool activities becasue simply put he was one of my absolute favorite authors as a child and as an adult. Eric Carle makes such beautiful and simplistic books about nature. Many of the books include math and science concepts that are so beautifully intertwined that you would never think of them as books that teach math. They are inspiring and few families with young children can say they don’t own an Eric Carle book.

These Eric Carle preschool activities are such a fun way to connect with literature. While we are completing an author study on Eric Carle, we will do so as we explore many learning concepts. This Eric Carle unit will include letter activities, basic math skills for preschoolers, STEM activities for preschoolers and a whole lot of art activities.
