Preschool Activities

 ACTIVITIES THAT REQUIRE MINIMAL SUPERVISION

• Give your child a few washcloths and let them fold them.

• Give them some sheets, some couch cushions or pillows and let them build a fort.

• Have them draw a picture to send to Grandma or for their teacher, etc.  Teach them about snail mail and have them mail it.

• Give them some cereal and yarn and have them make a necklace. Make playdough (Here’s an easy recipe.)

• Make bubbles - have them play outside or in the bathtub. 

• Gather some old boxes and let them build whatever their imaginations can create.

• Download audio books.

• Raid your recycling bin, get some tape and let them come up with a unique art project

• If the weather is cooperating (light rain does not count - this is the northwest, afterall!), the backyard would be a great place for kiddos to explore and find treasures.
