Glue a Bumpy Alphabet!
Hands-on activities are fantastic for your preschool child. While kids learn when they see or hear, they learn even better when they can touch, too! Get your child's fingers walking the alphabet, with this easy project. All you need is glue, and a few other simple supplies.
Make a Name Puzzle
Preschoolers love to scribble. But they might not understand yet that letters need to be put together in a certain order to make words. This activity will help teach that... and give your kid her very own name puzzle, too!
Play Musical Motor Stations
Take some of the spirit of musical chairs and incorporate it into an indoor obstacle course of sorts. You'll set up 8 stations and invite a bunch of your child's friends. When the music stops, each child jumps up and switches to the next station down the line.
Make Rice Pictures
Forget markers or crayons. For a really unusual art project, close the art supply cabinet, and crack open the pantry!
Homemade Letter Bingo
How do you spell fun and learning? B-I-N-G-O! Children learn through play. And letter or number bingo is a great place to start.
Practice Storytelling with a Plot Potluck!
Think of this as a potluck. But instead of bringing a chicken casserole, everyone brings an idea. Remember the old "I'm going on a trip" game where participants took turns adding on items they would take on a trip? This game offers a different spin, by building a story in a similar fashion.
Paper Plate Art: Sunny Side Up!
Looking for something to do on a rainy day? Let the sun in! This project uses supplies you probably already have in the house, and turns them into a sunshiny project that will work your preschooler's fine motor skills (the muscles in the hand they need to strengthen to learn to write.)
Make a Paper Chain!
You don't need to wait for Christmas to hang garlands around the house. Here's a fun activity that will help your child learn to cut on a line and help you to overcome your scissor fears!
Homemade Fingerpaint
You don't need to shell out big bucks to keep kids in fingerpaint. With this recipe, you can stew up your child's favorite colors, right in your own kitchen.
Make a Salt Figure Scarecrow!
In this activity, your child will boost her fine motor skills while she explores the artistic process of clay modeling.
