Each week we find 5 simple and fun activities for you and your preschooler to do together. These are hands-on ideas that promote playing, learning, creating and having fun together. They are chosen as they are quick and we have tried them out with our own children.

Although you can do as many or as few as you want we have a suggested schedule below taking one activity per day as a focus and mixing in reading time as well. The schedule can be seen below - this is only an idea that has worked for one of our team.

Colored Rice Earth Day Sensory Bin

We loved this Earth Day Sensory bin as not only is the bin filling a natural material (rice) but all of the extras are natural too.

For a week where we are thinking of the environment, this is ideal.

Simple Preschool Earth Day Sensory Bin and Literacy Play

Using the same sensory bin and adding in some letters you can create this simple Earth Day alphabet or word sensory activity for your preschooler.

Change on the words for just letters, work on spelling names or those sight words.

If you have them you could use Wooden Letters instead of plastic focusing again on caring for the planet.
