Pre-packaged preschool curriculum can be very expensive and isn’t necessary to give your child a great preschool education. You can preschool your child for free or almost free using items you already have in your home.
My favorite preschool resource is Slow and Steady Get Me Ready
. This book has weekly activities for your child from birth to age five. The activities all use items in your home and are easy to implement.
Other free activities for preschooling your child:
- Nature walks
- Games
- Read Alouds
- Story Time
- Coloring Sheets
- Charades
- Dress Up
- Blocks
- Lacing and Tracing
- Play-Do
- Sing Alongs
- Cooking
When you are homeschooling a preschooler let life be your curriculum. Take every day experiences and turn them into learning opportunities.

Thank you so much for this! We’ve been discussing preschool curriculum around our house these days, and there is SO MUCH that we were certain it was going to cost us a few hundred dollars. I’m going to pick up that book you suggested!
Rachel @ Busy Mommy Media says
There are so many fantastic resources for preschoolers. We love the local library programs during the day and many local businesses will offer free or low-cost preschool field trips if you have can round up a group of 10-20 kids.

I’m a work-away from home mom, but I have a toddler and teach preschoolers. One of my favorite blogs for preschool ideas and printable activities is confessionsofahomeschooler.blogspot.com. I also love makinglearningfun.com. You may have already found these but just thought I’d share.
