Click here for more >> Preschoolers adore learning! So many new discoveries around every corner! What a joy to watch their faces light up as they master skills and learn new tasks! There's no need for a pre-written curriculum at this learning stage. Playtime equals "brain growth". Lists of preschool activities may appear simplistic at first glance. But underneath this simplicity lies a dimension of discovery and brain pattern building that will start a child developing a life long passion for learning. Here are some hands-on activities to enjoy with your preschooler. Make a birdhouse out of a gallon jug or 2-liter bottle and some string. Go bird watching. (Toy binoculars make this extra adventurous!) Play Sink and Float in the tub. Take a few items to the bath and predict if each object will sink or float. (Try sponge, ping-pong ball, plastic tub with holes in the bottom, spoon, apple) Collect leaves/seeds. Make a nature box. (Autumn offers the chance to collect seed pods of all shapes and sizes. Sorting these pods make for an excellent "pre-math" activity.) Fly paper airplanes. Measure your child's height. Then help your child measure how long his foot is, the circumference of his wrist (use a tape measure), etc. Show your child how to use a magnifying glass. Toss a ball into the trashcan or laundry basket. Play sorting games with buttons, shells, coins, rocks. Sort into big and little piles. (Or rough/smooth, sort by kinds of coins, type of shell.) Make stick puppets with photos of family members. (Put their heads on the stick bodies.) Make up a puppet play. Blow across pop bottles to make different sounds. Play with sand and water. Paint with watercolors on wet paper. Go outdoors on spring evenings and listen to the birds. Start a mini-garden together. You can use a couple containers and plant alpine strawberries (our personal favorite, as they produce all summer and fall), sugar snap peas, mini carrots, etc! Answer your child's "Why" questions before they're even asked! Tell why water comes out of the faucet when you're giving baths, or why the plants in the window need sunlight. You'll spark a quest for discovery! While these activities may seem like "mere" games, remember, fun teaches best! Excitement for learning breeds more learning, giving your child the motivation to continue the process on his own.
