If you are looking for a way to schedule your week we have a suggested plan that you can see below. This was created by one of the hosts as a way to spread the activities across the week.

Each week we try and include the same 5 types of activities:

  • a sensory or imaginative play that could be kept out to return to over the week
  • an alphabet or letter activity
  • some form of math, this may be number, colour, shape or even measuring
  • cooking or science often this is a snack that you and your preschooler could make together and enjoy whilst reading the book
  • a craft or art project to do together
structured weekly schedule for the virtual book club for kids

Penguin Sensory Activity for Preschoolers

Our sensory play suggestion is a Penguin Salt Tray - if you don't wish to use salt you could switch out for some rice or even insta snow.

Name Practice for Penguin Week

It's name game time and this Penguin Name Game is great for preschoolers to practice their name this week.

Tacky the Penguin Math Activity for Preschoolers

You'll need a little prep for this activity. Once you have made the penguin and fish. You'll then be able to use it for counting, colours, and even adding shapes or numbers to the fish.

See how to create your own Feed the Penguin Math Game for your preschooler.
