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

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 🙂
We are routine people too! I'm looking forward to falling back in step!
Thanks for featuring the Play Dough center ideas from Pre-K Pages! I love empanadas but I have never had them with fish before- sounds delicious!
Thanks so much for featuring our Star Search Game! Have a fun weekend! 🙂
Thanks for featuring our sensory bin. I love how you organize and collect the posts, great list!
