Preschool Activities
Here are a few sites/resources that have some wonderful activities for preschool children. Many of these resources are for children in general education preschool so you may need to make adjustments/accommodations to do the activity with your own kiddo. Remember you want it to be a little challenging but not so hard that they become frustrated which can lead to a lot of unwanted behaviors. And if it seems like its not working don’t be afraid to toss it out and do something else instead. Sometimes I have the greatest activity or book in mind and when I try it with the kids they have no interest or they’re just not getting it. That’s when I stop and move on to something else or pull out a different activity. It’s important to be flexible. I will be adding to this list over time as well.
