Preschool Activity: Leaf People

In my area, leaves have already started falling from the trees. This means that you will have the perfect opportunity for preschool craft projects with leaves. One project we love to do in your household is make leaf people.



All you do is collect a few leaves, which makes for a great walking adventure.

Next, glue a leaf onto a piece of computer paper or construction paper. I find that glue sticks work the best.

Finally, let your child draw. They can draw arms, legs, and a scenery in the background.

Preschool Activity: Playing With Puzzles

One preschool activity that my daughter loves involves playing with puzzles. I honestly think she could play with puzzles all day long. My soon-to-be four year old loves the wooden puzzles the best.

In addition to simply just playing with puzzles with your child, you can make a game out of it. This works best with wooden or plastic puzzles. What we do is flip over a puzzle and dump all of the pieces onto the table. We then take turns picking up a puzzle piece and saying what it is, like a pig or a truck. This extra step makes this great preschool activity even more educational in nature.
