Playful Preschool Activities 


This week, my son and I are working on getting into a routine.  Our schedules seem to have switched around drastically, and with everyone in the family getting sick, there has been more movies than we have every watched in our entire lives and not as much active – outdoor play that usually happens at our house.  

Isn’t it always a challenge to make play and learning a priority? I know that we have a lot of unstructured free-play built into our days, but that when I plan and set out learning activities, we end up using more advanced vocabulary, exploring with a variety of materials, and taking our play to a whole new level of learning.  

So, without further adieu – here are my Playful Preschool activity picks for this week!


Science:
Balancing Robot from Buggy and Buddy*

Reading:
Vowel Sound Drop from J Daniel 4’s Mom
How to Encourage Your Child to Read More Books from The Jenny Evolution

Sensory:
Literacy Based Sensory Bin from Kitchen Floor Crafts*
Pool Noodle Boat & Water Play from Frogs, Snails and Puppy Dog Tails*
Play-dough Station from Pre-K Pages (This was the most liked on Facebook this week!)*

Social Studies:
Making Empanadas from The Educators’ Spin On It

Art Exploration:
Gel Paint Color Mixing from Left Brain, Craft Brain
Giant Butterfly Wings from Rubber Boots and Elf Shoes*

Math:
Star Search Number Game from A Little Pinch of Perfect*

Movement & Music:
ABC Monster Math from The Educators’ Spin On It
Playful Preschool: Stomp Painting, Number Monsters, Paint Chip Math and MORE!

    So many great ideas! We've been working on getting back to our regular routine as well and it can definitely be tough! My 3 year old thrives on having a routine and a set schedule but the summer always seems to throw us off 🙂
