10 Ways to Use Preschool Stickers to Build Skills

Inside: Learn how to build different important skills while using preschool stickers. This collection includes art, literacy, math and fine motor!

Stickers are underrated.

They have so many different uses, especially when it comes to building skills. And yet, they aren’t used near as much as they could be with preschoolers.

I make sure to always have a stash on hand for table activities, art, fine motor, color recognition … and so much more!

Preschool stickers are also nice when you are looking for some quiet time. Simply grab a blank sheet of paper and some stickers, perhaps some markers or crayons as well, and invite your child to have fun.

I’ve also added some free printables that can be used with dot stickers … scroll down towards the end of this post to find them!
