Favorite Homeschool Helps for my Preschoolers? Hands Down, Our Top Three: Busy Beavers My three-year-old rambunctious boy's favorite video: Have Fun Teaching The Walking Song - great for getting up and moving! My preschoolers love the "walk like a robot" part the best. This gets my kids up and moving, from preschool to second grade. It's fun, it's cool - and yes, even mom gets in on the action with this one. They also have individual letter songs, exercise songs, social skills songs, and much more. All set to dance music.

Give the kids the rest of the chalk to draw whatever they want - rivers, bridges, stores...yesterday we made a vampire jail at the request of my 3-year-old boy. 3. Bring out the vehicles!

Here are a few of our favorite books we read with our preschooler: The little Nativity books set Make Believe Ideas, Ltd. These are probably intended for infants and toddlers, but my 4 and 5-year-olds still love these books! So do I! They are perfect for little hands to hold and each book tells a bit of the Christmas story. Each one ends with a Christmas song that brings it all together. (Like "O Little Town of Bethlehem," for example) Dinosaur vs. Santa by Bob Shea Does your preschooler ever pretend he is a dinosaur? If so, this book is perfect for you and your rambunctious little boy or girl, anxious for Christmas to come. Llama Llama Holiday Drama by Anna Dewdney We love Llama Llama books - they're sweet and fun - just right! Here Llama Llama is a preschooler, anxiously counting down the days until Christmas.
