Clever Kids Preschool Printables

Kellogg’s just released a fun new line of fruit snacks for kids called Clever Kids. We had the opportunity to sample a few boxes of the yummy fruit snacks as part of my position as a SnackPicks Mom by way of one of my other sites. My kids really loved the super soft, very fruity alphabet and number shaped Clever Kids fruit snacks. Even my teenage son thought it was amusing to  see if he could make words from the letters.

All of the Clever Kids boxes have fun educational activities for the kids on them but if you want a few more activities, they have an entire page of printable alphabet and number activities for preschoolers. Here are a few of them – be sure to visit the Clever Kids site for even more printables and money saving coupons too.
