• Flexible: Use all the components or just a few. It is completely up to you and this unit is made for flexibility.
• Gentle & Fun: While ‘let them play’ is often sound advice, there are also often times when our little ones either want or need some more intentional learning time. This morning menu is a great way to incorporate that while also keeping things gentle and fun.
• Many Skills Covered: Math, science, language arts, fine motor skills, and more! Many skills will be covered in this morning menu.

Ideal for ages 3-5. Put these pages into a menu folder or clear sleeves so that you child can use a marker over top to trace what they are going to work on. Wipe it down and do it all again tomorrow.

This age is all about exposure to learning and what that looks like. Mastery doesn’t have to be the end goal just yet. Using a morning menu is simple and gentle way to be intentional with learning without overloading your child.
