In my last post, I outlined how you may want to let your child help you complete small tasks the next time that you clean the house. While this approach is nice, you may rather stick with pretend play. If so, examine the following preschool supplies outlined below. Personally, we have a preschool pretend play vacuum cleaner. My daughter uses hers whenever I vacuum our house.

Preschool Activity: Playing House – Cleaning
If your toddler or preschooler is anything like mine, they may love it when you clean your home. In fact, they may even want to help. My daughter regularly breaks out the duster and goes to town when I started doing some form of cleaning, even just the dishes. If this is the case with your child, you will want to let them help you.
When it comes to playing house and cleaning, it is important to remember to keep it fun. You will not want to turn an otherwise fun activity into a long list of chores for your child, as they are really too young to have too much responsible. What you can do, however, is give your child a duster to use, a small laundry basket to pick up their toys, and so forth.

Preschool Activity – Playing House Baby Supplies
In my last post, I outlined how playing house with dolls or other stuffed animals is a nice preschool activity. Your child may love being the “mom,” of her favorite dolls and animals. With that in mind, if your child does not have a doll and other baby supplies, you may want to checkout some of the great items outlined below.
Preschool Activity: Playing House
Playing house is a preschool activity that many children enjoy, especially girls. What is nice about enjoying this type of preschool activity is that you and your child have so many options. For this post, we will focus on playing house with stuffed animals or baby dolls.
When my daughter, who is three, plays house, she always uses her baby dolls and a few stuff animals. What she does is play the mother of the house. She will do a wide range of things for her babies, including feed them, pretend to bathe them, change their diapers, put them down for naps, and so forth.
Playing house this way is a nice preschool activity for all children, but it is perfect for toddlers and preschoolers who may have a new brother or sister arriving soon. Playing with dolls and other stuffed animals is likely to teach your child how to gently interact with others, especially younger children.
