Preschool Social Studies Resources

Preschoolers begin developing early social studies skills with Education.com’s Learning Library, offering over 130 printable worksheets, lesson plans, and hands-on activities. These resources introduce foundational civics, community awareness, basic economic concepts, and important historical figures through engaging, age-appropriate lessons and activities.

Civics and government materials feature fun coloring pages that familiarize young learners with national symbols like the U.S. flag, “I Voted” stickers, and the bald eagle. These activities help children recognize key American symbols and traditions. Community and culture resources focus on everyday environments and helpers. Preschoolers complete matching and critical thinking activities that connect community jobs with tools and roles. Interactive projects such as the Neighborhood Scavenger Hunt encourage exploration and build awareness of how communities work. Basic economic concepts are introduced through activities distinguishing needs and wants, as well as identifying natural resources like water and wood. These lessons lay a foundation for understanding how resources impact daily life. Preschool social studies also includes coloring pages and simple reading exercises that highlight historical figures such as Jackie Robinson, Jane Goodall, and Susan B. Anthony. These materials foster curiosity about influential people while supporting fine motor and early literacy skills.

All materials are available in digital and print-friendly formats to support diverse learning styles. Filters make it easy for teachers, parents, and homeschoolers to find age-appropriate resources for introducing new topics, extending lessons, or supporting at-home learning. Ready for more?
