At-Home Preschool Lesson Plans

This series has been going on for a while, but I just stumbled on this great At Home Preschool lesson plan series from No Time for Flashcards.

These little lunchtime learning sessions have a different theme each day such as math, literacy, science and reading. She has options for making the tasks a little easier or a little harder depending on the age or motivation of your kids.

For instance, you can identify all the shapes you can see from the table while you’re having lunch or go on a full-on shape scavenger hunt.

These are great, simple ideas that you can use with little kids at home, and now that there are several weeks of lessons there, you could even do one in the morning and one in the afternoon if you wanted.

Check out the page linked above for all the lesson plans that are there so far.

Summer Reading Printables and Tips for Parents

I’ve written a lot about different Fourth of July activities and crafts over the years (see links below) but one thing I haven’t touched on much is the Fourth of July party. A backyard hangout and barbecue is a classic event, so why not bring some fun outside with red, white and blue games the whole family can play?

Games like these can help develop fine motor skills, and getting kids up and moving is always a good idea. If adults join in, so much the better.

Six Clever Sisters has collected a dozen fun Fourth of July games you can make for the backyard to play for the holiday or any time during the summer.

A lot of these are regular sorts of backyard games like hitting targets with squirt guns or tossing balls into buckets, but given a red, white and blue twist for the patriotic holidays.

These games would be fun throughout the year regardless of whether you put a patriotic spin on them.

For example the tic tac toe game shown here, which is from Hey Let’s Make Stuff, would be cute with x’s and o’s painted in any colors you like. And of course you could make it even easier and just play on the sidewalk with red, white and blue chalk if you don’t have a ready supply of wooden letters.
