A Huge List of Activities to Do with Your Preschooler! 100+ Activities
This is a huge, long list of more than 100 different activities that you can do with your 2-5 year olds. I originally compiled this list when ED was three or so. I compiled this list when I was struggling to balance the needs of my preschooler with my older two school-age kids. Here’s what I wrote when I first made this list:
I am a list person! I love writing down things we should do, could do, have done. In fact, I started this blog as the ultimate list of things we’ve done! Trying to balance the needs of three kids, I worry at times about not doing enough with ED. I was going through the preschool lists I created for the other kids and started making a list of things I wanted to do with ED. Then after going through my old lists, I also went through my blog (you can scan through out old toddler or preschool posts too by going to the categories in the sidebar). I came across a lot of things I’d like to do with ED…
Ultimately I came up with a three-page list of things to do with my preschooler. Some things she is beginning to outgrow, but I included them since others might find them helpful. I included hyperlinks back to old blog posts. And if you find this list helpful please drop me a comment. I love sharing our activities and get a huge boost when I hear from others!
Recently, I’ve been fixing some links here on the blog. I realized there were a number of activities that should be added to that list. Plus, the hyperlinks all needed to be updated. So, once again, here is this very long list of activities… updated and improved! 🙂
It is free to download! Check it out here:

By the way, at some point soon, I will be sharing a long Preschool Curriculum as well… with hands-on activities we did in geography, science, math, reading and more. It will be a bit different from this list, so stay tuned for that!
