Feed The Crayon, Back to School Activities for Kindergarten, Feed Me August

Make learning interactive and hands-on this August with these high-engagement Feed Me August Math & Literacy Centers! Designed specifically for incoming Kindergarten students (and pre-K review), these low-prep centers build essential foundational skills in letter recognition, early number sense (0–5), color sorting, and 2D shape identification through fun “feed the character” gameplay.

Students pull a card, identify the target skill, complete their recording sheet, and “feed” the cute school-themed character! Perfect for the first month of school, morning tubs, small group instruction, or independent center rotations.
