[...] Do you love to make messes? I don’t, but my preschoolers do. I should have started my preschooler series with this post, but I got a little carried away last week with all my flash card excitement. [...]

Great ideas – thanks so much! My little guy is 21 mos, so I’m just starting to think in this direction! Can’t wait to see your further posts!

Great ideas! I have 3 kiddos now…ages 4, 2.5, and 4 months. I take flashcards everywhere in the diaper bag. That way, when we are waiting somewhere (like the doctor’s office) I can pull them out and play a game w/ them. I especially like the ones that have a letter on one side and a picture on the other. The 4 year old says the letter and the 2.5 year old says the name of the picture item (he has a sever speech delay due to some other health prob’s, so this is very beneficial for him).
I love the color games, I will definitely be using them for my kiddos!
Thanks and blessings to you today!

Five preschoolers?
Good heavens! Will certainly have to keep coming back for advice from a past master then!

Fun color matching game! I think I’ll have to make one to use during therapy, since I’m working on colors with some of the kids I work with.

Love those ideas! We have often played a color game in the car. I actually began doing this to stop my then-3-yea-old daughter’s whining. I would say “Let’s find 3 blue cars!” and we’d all watch and call out when we saw one. Then we’d move to other colors. Some would be hard (like gold or orange cars) but it kept them occupied. Now my 2.5 year old loves yellow cars and shouts it out every time he sees one!!
