Sweet Treats Themed Busy Binder Activities

Whether you have a sweet tooth and love all things donuts and cupcakes and ice cream or are just looking for some sweet activities for preschoolers and kindergartners, you are going to love my Sweet Treats Busy Binder set!

My Sweet Treats Busy Binder set is just one of the many busy binder activity sets in my shop, with many more themed bundles to come.

Busy Binder Facts

The Sweet Treats Busy Binder set is the perfect theme that can be used all year long. Prep once and have it on hand to pull out for morning work, quiet time, traveling, doctor's appointments and more all throughout the year. It's the theme that just keeps on giving.

The Sweet Treats Busy Binder includes 10 activities for preschoolers and kindergartners and includes the following skills:

• Shadow Matching
• Capital/Lowercase/Sound Matching
• Number Sense/One-to-one correspondence
• Shape Matching
• Colors/Color Word Matching
• Number Sense/Counting
• Patterns (AB, ABC, ABB, AAB)
• Syllables
• Shape Tracing
• CVC and CVCe Words

Please note, that while I have mine set up as a binder, you can certainly print these activities out and use them as stand alone activities for your classroom or homeschool learning activities. I just love having them in a binder/bound for a quick grab and go learning activity for my kids.

Busy Binder Activities

Here is a look at everything included in the Sweet Treats Busy Binder.

The set includes a cover page you can add to your binder if you choose to bind them. I have used both binders and Proclick binding spines to bind our busy binders over the years. Both work great.

This popsicle sound match matches capital letters, lowercase letters, and picture/sounds together to form a whole popsicle. Children will work to put the popsicles together to form a letter popsicle. All 26 letters of the alphabet are represented. You can start out with a few letters/pieces if presenting them all would be too overwhelming.

Children will practice matching sweet treat pictures to the shadow with this fun visual discrimination shadow matching activity.

You can't have a sweet treats theme without including gumballs. This Gumball shapes activity is for matching 6 of the most basic 2D shapes to their outline. Each shape looks like a gumball and children will pick a gumball shape and match it to the shape inside the gumball machine. This activity is very similar to our gumball colors activity found in our color and shape busy binder.

The Boxing Up Donuts activity is an interactive activity for practicing number recognition, counting, and one-one-correspondence. Children will pick a number, identify the number, and then use the donuts to count out the corresponding number of donuts in the box.

             additional donut Activities. 

Children will practice counting and number recognition with this Chocolate Chip Cookie count activity. Simply count the chocolate chips on each cookie and find the corresponding number and add it to the box below the cookie.

The Rainbow Cupcakes comes with 3 different versions so you can use it with many different ages and practice different color and color work skills. Children will match the colored icing pieces to the correct cupcake. You can choose from the color matching mats, the color word matching mats with the words colored, and color word matching mats with the words black.

I scream. You scream. We all scream for Ice Cream. This ice cream patterns activity will have children practicing making ABC, AB, AAB, and ABB patterns using different colored ice cream. Children will pick their colors from the variety of colors and work to create the different patterns on top of the corresponding ice cream cone. The great thing about this one is that you can make all the patterns, take them off and repeat with new colors.

This CVC and CVCe cupcakes activity will help children practice differentiating between those short and long vowel sounds. Students will pick a cupcake, say the word on the cupcake, and determine if the vowel is long or short and then place it on the correct cupcake stand.

Sweet Treats Shape Tracing is a simple shape tracing activity that you can use with your kids to practice tracing and drawing shapes. Laminate it and use a dry erase marker and you are set for continued shape drawing practice.

Lastly, this Ice Cream Syllables is a sweet (see what I did there) way of practicing identifying and counting syllables in simple words. Kids will pick an ice cream picture card, say the word and count the total syllables in the word and then place it on top of the correct ice cream cone.

We are a refined sugar free family due to a severe refined sugar intolerance so my kids are super excited to dive into these sweet treat activities as we are not able to enjoy them for real.
