Take Your Preschooler on a Hike

October 3

Fall is a great month to take your preschooler on a hike. Hikes are great because of the obvious physical exercise that they give to your child. They are also a terrific way to teach kids about nature. Kids can learn to interact appropriately with the plants and animals that live in your area and can gain an appreciation for the world around them. Hikes can also be used for many different lessons including teaching the skill of observation, learning about the culture of people who once lived in the area where you are hiking and starting to understand about the weather and terrain. Plus, taking your preschooler on a hike is a great bonding experience.

Preschool September Themes

September 27

September is rapidly coming to a close but that doesn’t mean that it’s too late to incorporate some great September themes into your preschool lesson plans. September is a fun month because it’s all about going back to school, meeting new people and getting ready for the holidays ahead. That makes September a terrific month for transitional themes that allow you to really explore some creative lessons. You can begin teaching fall themes during the month of September but you can also use themes that aren’t related to any particular season so it’s still an in-between kind of month.

How to Make your own Preschool Lesson Plans

September 20

Are you homeschooling your preschooler? Or perhaps your child simply isn’t challenged enough in her preschool class and you’d like to make your own lesson plans to supplement what’s being learned at school? Whatever the case, making your own preschool lesson plans can be a great way to give your child an education that incorporates all of the things that it’s important to you that she learns. It can sound a little intimidating at first. After all, you aren’t a teacher so how would you know how to make your own preschool lesson plans, right? But making your own lesson plans really isn’t that difficult at all.

Teaching your Child the Alphabet by Using Coloring Pages

September 15

When I began teaching my children the Alphabet as Toddlers I found that using Alphabet Coloring Pages was one of the most effective way to teach the Letters of the Alphabet to my children. I already knew that they loved to color, so why not teach them the letters in a way that I know will hold their focus more than 2 minutes. So, I started printing off alphabet coloring pages from the internet and I was off to start teaching my children the alphabet.

My young Preschoolers-To-Be had no idea that they were going to begin a Lesson. For all they knew they were going to have fun coloring…. and they were right.

And by preparing your child both educationally and emotionally for the preschool experience, you’ll help to quell your own fears about the situation.
