Kids can learn by playing games, reading signs and much more. Allowing your child to identify words and letters during play and at the grocery store – and even scribbling – will help them develop the necessary skills for kindergarten.

What time is it? It’s time to rhyme! Turn your preschooler into a swim-sational rhymer with the help of the Bubble Guppies. Have your child look at the pictures, say the words aloud, and then match up the ones that rhyme.

Talk about feelings with your child with a little help from the Bubble Guppies! Have them draw facial expressions on the characters to match each emotion. Your little guppy can then draw their own facial expression to describe how they feel.

Print your kids’ favorite Guppy friends, attach them to craft sticks, and you’ve got Bubble Guppies puppets (“Bubble Guppies,” that is). Then help your kids put on their very own Bubble Guppies puppet show with their friends.

Count on the Bubble Guppies to help your little ones practice their numbers. Grab a pencil and help your child follow the instructional arrows to help them trace each number. Can your child count to 10 or 20?

Get kids excited to read every day! Sticker rewards from Blaze, Shimmer and Shine, Bubble Guppies, and PAW Patrol will motivate kids and help them track their progress every week. At the end of each sticker-filled week, why not reward your child with a trip to the library?
