One of the best approaches, when it comes to thinking of preschool activities or preschool lessons for you and your child to do in home school activities, is not to get bogged down in trying to be too structured. There are many fun, educational, and informal preschool activities that you and your child can participate in.
Top of the list when it comes to preschool activities and early childhood learning would be reading. Getting the child involved early in learning to read establishes good reading habits and a foundation from which the child can learn throughout his life.
Learning to read for the child certainly does not have to be limited to books. It should also include poetry, songs (while singing together); reading the boxes of their favorite toys, or whatever appeals to them, could be included in their preschool homeschooling activities. Be creative.
Preschool age is a wonderful learning time for a child. Naturally, they are full of wonder and curiosity at the preschool age. Take advantage of this feature. Use daily household chores for learning activities. Sorting clothes by color to wash, dishes by color or size, if you are organizing something around the house, take this opportunity to match different shapes and sizes with your preschooler. When you are away from home in the world, always use this time as an educational moment. All the shapes, sizes, and colors you find only at the grocery store make for a wonderful preschool activity. It’s homeschooling and you’re not at home!
If you come across a question you can’t answer, don’t just say you’re not sure or don’t know and leave it at that. Take the opportunity to start instilling another great learning skill in your child. The one of looking for something in search of an answer to which you do not know. Although the child cannot yet search for the answer, he can witness and be a part of this valuable information search procedure. I can’t tell you what valuable skill you will instill in your preschooler if you help him develop this kind of problem-solving skill and attitude by incorporating this into his daily preschool activities.
Preschool activities are limited only by your imagination … early childhood education is a wonderful experience, just relax, be casual, be creative.
In fact, learning activities are everywhere.
