About Katie I’m a former teacher who is currently a stay-at-

home mom. I have experience teaching
kindergarten and K-2 special education. I love
staying in the education world by creating useful
and engaging resources for teachers. Be sure to
stay in touch by following me on social media and
checking out my website at

Stay in touch!
About this Resource:
This is a set of 20 activities designed to be used in
Kindergarten morning work tubs. The activities
incorporate common Kindergarten skills in the areas
of literacy, math, fine motor, and more. They require
supplies that many teachers can find in their
classrooms, such as math manipulatives, magnetic
letters, and playdough.
A few things…
1. You may want to change up the activities from

what I have suggested or omit certain ones, and
that’s fine! I designed this resource to provide
some activities that teachers could use to save
planning and prep time, but it does not have to
be used exclusively. You may want to add
additional activities based on your own ideas or
your students’ needs and interests. Or, if you
need more than 20 tubs and don’t want to
duplicate any of these activities, you will have to
make your own additional tubs. I have provided
a list of additional morning work tub ideas.
2. Some of the activities can be customized or

changed based on what you have in your
classroom.
About this Resource:
3. I am including an information page for each
activity. In the instructions, it says to place the
activities into a container. You can use whatever
works in your classroom.
Ideas:
- Place activities in plastic tubs and keep
them in a tub organizer.
- Place activities into plastic bags and rotate
them around your students’ tables each
day.
- You can make multiple copies of an activity
and have all of the students at a table do
the same activity.
4. I highly recommend laminating all of the pieces,

not just the ones that require dry-erase marker
or playdough use. It helps them last longer. I
also recommend printing on cardstock.
5. Finally, I have a Facebook group where you can

get ideas or tub storage, rotation, and more!

Activity #5
Letter Building Cards
Students will use mini erasers (or any other manipulative)
to build the letters.
**NOTE: You can use just the uppercase or lowercase

letters, or you can use both. I use seasonal mini erasers
on these, but you could also use conversation hearts,
coins, pom-poms, or any other small objects.
Additionally, I included starter dots on the letters so you
could use them for rainbow tracing instead!
How to Prepare:
2. Cut out the cards on the lines and laminate for
durability.
How to Use:
Place the cards and mini
erasers in the morning
tub container.













Activity #6
