How Can I Keep Them Busy?

I have 3 boys at home. If you're like me you're thinking, how can I keep them busy (& learning)? I've compiled some ideas appropriate for preschool aged children and older siblings as well. Over the course of the past few days I've seen many educational companies offering free resources, so I've also included links to those sites for your convenience. Take care!

  • READ, READ, READ!

I've been creating a time to read aloud together. At least 20 minutes each day is great, but I'm trying to spend even more than 20 minutes each day reading to them.


  • Pretend Play

Dress up, build forts, role play


  • Write using chalk

Get them outside with some sidewalk chalk. This is a great time to practice writing letters and their name.


  • Be a detective

Send your children around your home looking for items of different colors, shapes, numbers, beginning with different letters, etc


  • Shaving cream writing

Use shaving cream to write letters and numbers


  • Play games

Play board games and card games or make up your own games


  • Color/Draw


  • Listen to music


  • Complete a puzzle
