Preschool Activity Ideas

One of the best approaches when trying to think of preschool activities or preschool lessons for you and your child to do for home school activities is to not get bogged down trying to be too structured. There are many fun, educational, and informal preschool activities that you and your child can participate in.

Top of the list when it comes to preschool activities and infant learning would be reading. Engaging the child early in learning to read establishes good reading habits and a foundation from which the child can learn for a lifetime.

Learning to read for the child certainly does not have to be limited to books. It should also include poetry, songs (as you sing together); reading the boxes of their favorite toys, or anything that appeals to them could be included in their preschool homeschooling activities. Just be creative.

The preschool age is a wonderful learning time for the child. They are naturally full of wonder and curiosity at preschool age. Take advantage of this feature. Use everyday tasks around the house for learning activities. Sorting clothes by color for laundry, dishes by color or size, if you’re organizing something around the house, take this opportunity to relate different shapes and sizes to your preschooler. When you are out and about in the world, always use this time as an educational moment. All the shapes, sizes, and colors you find only at the grocery store are a wonderful preschool activity. It’s homeschooling and you’re not at home!

If you come across a question you can’t answer, don’t just say you’re not sure or don’t know and leave it at that. Take the opportunity to start instilling another great learning skill in your child. That of looking for something for an answer to what you don’t know. Although the child cannot yet search for the answer, she can witness and be a part of this valuable information-seeking process. I can’t tell you what a valuable skill you’ll instill in your preschooler if you help him develop this kind of problem-solving ability and attitude if you incorporate this into his daily preschool activities.

Preschool activities are limited only by your imagination… early childhood is a wonderful experience, just relax, be casual, be creative.

In fact, learning activities are everywhere.
