Why it works
There’s a reason it’s built like this.
A three-year-old won’t trace a triangle because you asked. But they’ll do it five times over if Cosmo, a little alien who’s stranded and out of fuel, needs that shape to get home. The story is the reason they want to practice.
Every page is a story for your child and a script for you. As they meet Cosmo, the page quietly tells you what to set up, what to say, and what to ask — so you’re never wondering if you’re “doing it right.”
Before a shape means anything on paper, kids need to feel it so each day they hunt for it, trace it, and build it from playdough. About fifteen minutes, right about as long as a preschooler can happily focus.
Hi, I’m Rea!
Before I was a mom, I was an elementary teacher. Now I stay home with my little one, and every single weekday we do “school time”. Learning our letters, hunting for shapes, counting colorful bugs, and making a mess.
This bundle is that same time, packaged up for you. The actual lessons, run with my own preschooler, curated for anyone to do!
Four steps. About fifteen minutes.
One page, printed front and back. That’s the whole system — the same one that runs through the full bundle.
-
Grab two things
Coloring utensils and something moldable (playdough or kinetic sand.) That’s the whole supply list for the week.
-
Read the story
You read Cosmo’s short page out loud. Your child learns today’s shape and what Cosmo needs.
-
Hunt, trace, build
Find the shape around the house, trace it, then build it with playdough.
-
Flip to power up
Turn the page and watch Cosmo’s ship gain a bar. That’s the part they’ll ask for again tomorrow.
Tell me where to send it.
Pop in your email and I’ll send Cosmo’s Shape Hunt straight to your inbox. You’ll also unlock the Sprout Library, a growing collection of the low-prep activities I do with my own preschooler, added to every week.
No spam, no card. Just the freebie and one friendly email a week.
If Cosmo’s a hit, three more adventures are waiting.
Cosmo’s Shape Hunt is Week 1 of the Pre-K Fundamentals bundle. Run it with your child first, no pressure. If they love it, the full bundle picks up right where the free week leaves off:
Before you sign up
Is it really free?
Yes — the whole first week, no card required. All I ask for is your email so I can send it and stay in touch with the Weekly Sprout. Unsubscribe any time and the files are still yours.
What age is this for?
Ages 3–5, with the sweet spot around 3.5 to 5. If your child can sit for a short story and hold a crayon, they’re ready. A younger sibling can usually tag along for the hands-on parts.
What do I need to have on hand?
Just two things for the whole week: coloring utensils and something moldable — playdough or kinetic sand. Print the pages front and back on a regular home printer and you’re set.
Do I need any teaching background?
None at all. Every page tells you what to set up, what to say, and what to ask at the end. If you can read a story out loud, you can teach this.
How do I get it after I sign up?
Check your inbox — the PDF lands there right after you confirm your email. Save it, print it, and open to Day 1 whenever you’re ready.
Am I signing up for a bunch of emails?
Just one a week — the Weekly Sprout, a single low-prep activity you can actually use. No daily blasts, no spam. Leave whenever you like.
Give your first week of school time a try.
Five days, already planned. No screens, no teaching degree. Just you, your child, and about fifteen minutes a day.
