There are a MILLION resources out there for easy activities for kids stuck inside. But do you REALLY have time to wade through them every time you hear “I’m bored?” Check out our printable, easy activity cards for kids, for quick ideas right when you need them.

Look, we’re spending a lot of time with our kids right now. Like, A LOT. And while we love all this quality time (seriously, in March we said we wished we could freeze time and, mission accomplished), we’re still spending MUCH more time at home than we’re used to.

Meaning, we’re also hearing, “I’m boooorrreeed” a lot more than we used to, too.

And while a little boredom is good for kids (it encourages creativity, teaches them patience, and teaches them independence) there is a limit to how much boredom we can all take.

Kids are bored, and parents are busy. We are working from home, running a household, and homeschooling older kids. Sometimes, we just need to keep our kids entertained so we can focus on other tasks.

When the dreaded, “I’m bored” makes an appearance, the last thing you want to do is start scrolling through Pinterest, spending time setting up projects your kids may not even be interest in. 

And mamas, we’re right there with you. Which is why we designed the resource we needed ourselves- easy, printable activity cards to put an end to “I’m bored” once and for all.

The world is changing, and we’re all changing with it. If you suddenly find yourself trying to figure out how to do preschool at home, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve got tons of resources for teaching preschool at home, from educational activities to the best homeschool preschool curriculum. Read on for pro tips from a teacher and fellow mom in the trenches!

With a lot of uncertainty in the world right now, many of us are finding ourselves in unusual positions. Schools have closed, many are struggling financially, and kids are WAY off their routines. 

In the midst of all of this, many of us are looking for ways to give our kids structure and consistency, while keeping up with our larger goals for our kids.

We’re not saying your kiddo HAS to do homeschool preschool. A day full of playing and art and sunshine will do them loads of good. But if your kids are like ours, they’re used to going to preschool, and they miss it. Many of us find ourselves teaching preschool at home, and are looking for ways to do it better.

If you’re in the same boat, we’ve got tips on how to teach preschool at home in a way that will be fun for your kids, and low stress for you.

Wondering what you should be doing with your three, four, or five year old all day? It doesn’t have to be complicated! Here are the top 10 daily activities for preschoolers at home, written by a former preschool teacher and mom of two.

Look, every kid has a different hard age. Some may be peak difficult at 18 months. Others may experience the terrible twos, and many kids struggle with the terrible threes. But my kids? Well, the preschool years were actually when we struggled the most.

Ages three and four can be incredibly difficult for little kids (and their parents). They are learning more about their world every day, and are suddenly capable of so much more than they used to be. For some families this is a welcome change, and others struggle with their children’s new needs.

Part of the key to success when creating a daily schedule for preschoolers is finding that tricky balance between structured time and the space to explore, imagine, and create. You don’t want your preschooler’s life to be consumed by academics, but you also want them to be prepared for school once it begins. 

As a teacher, I’ve worked with students from age 2 to adults. I’ve seen kids that have had great success, and kids that have struggled. These early years give you the perfect chance to give your kids a rich, balanced day that provides with not only early academic skills, but the space to just be a little kid.

So if you’re hoping to improve upon your preschooler’s daily schedule, here are 10 daily activities for preschoolers  at home that will set them up for daily (and lifelong!) success.
