Homeschooling PreschoolersFun activities to do with your child.Here are a few ideas to use if you are homeschooling preschoolers. These activities will foster a love of learning in your child without getting bogged down in workbooks and a strict school schedule. Talk about EVERYTHING!
Get help in the kitchen. Even very young homeschooling preschoolers can help pour ingredients and stir. Go on nature walks. Be extra observant of sights and sounds. Don't be in a rush. Sort things. Use different categories. Big and small, colors, smooth and rough. The possibilities are endless. Buttons, laundry, money, plastic milk caps, blocks… Play games. Check out my page on games to get an idea of why game playing is important for learning.  Don’t neglect motor skills! Walk on a balance beam (you can make one out of a 2 x 4) or on a chalk line. Throw beanbags in a bucket or through a tire. Sidewalk chalk is great for fine and gross motor. (Fine – holding the chalk, Gross – using big arm movements to draw.) Try some preschool sewing activities. Learn to “pump” on the swings. (I couldn’t believe I was having to push second graders on a swing when I was teaching at public school!) Learn to skip. (Again, one year I taught 22 fourth graders and only 1 knew how to skip!) They are only young once - have fun!
