\"\"<\/a>Trying to homeschool when you have preschoolers can be… difficult. They always seem to be getting into something they shouldn’t be while you are occupied with another child.<\/p>\n

I have found that my preschoolers behave much better if they feel included in our school day. Something as simple as paper shapes and glue can keep them busy for quite a while. These crafts work even better when you combine them with writings by Ezra Jack Keats<\/a>\"\" because the illustrations are similar to the craft project, and the books are so wonderful!<\/p>\n

Depending on the skill level of your child, they can cut out shapes themselves, or you can have older kids draw and cut the shapes for them.<\/p>\n

Give your preschooler a glue stick and they are ready to create.<\/p>\n
