Have you heard of joyful D.I.Y. play filled learning, where play is the plan and imagination leads the way. This collection of 26-Play-Based Pop-Up Learning Stations was designed with love (and years of experience) for preschoolers who thrive on hands-on discovery, movement, creativity, and connection.

These stations offer more than just activity time — they spark:

• Curiosity through open-ended exploration\

• Skill-building through purposeful play

• Confidence as kids lead their own learning

• Flexibility for teachers to set up, rotate, and adapt with ease

Each station is centered around real classroom needs, using simple materials you already have and clear visuals to make learning accessible for every child.

If you're running a home daycare, managing a preschool classroom, or homeschool learning space, or a kindergarten teacher looking for some quick ideas, these activities are designed to pop up wherever and whenever you need them, and without requiring hours of prep or expensive supplies.
