Teaching preschool at home for non-crafty moms can be intimidating. You read kid blogger network blogs and think to yourself, “I am not crafty enough to create this!” All the crafty moms sharing the beautifully photographed kids activities that make you wish you could put a great learning activity together for your child, but it would either take too long or look too “homemade”.
I understand your frustration. I have multiple children, a home to care for, a husband who I like spending time with, and errands to run. I am a crafty mom, but I stick with simple preschool activities.
I want you to know, you can do it! Teaching preschool at home for non-crafty moms is possible!
I share simple activities all the time. They are quick to create, easy to recycle if they are used up or ripped, and they cost next to nothing.
My kids get inventive and use their creativity when I step back and let them create. We need to be preparing our children for higher level learning. We can do it at home while they are young. This isn’t about making preschool as academically charged as elementary school, but it is about focusing on what you are teaching with the preschool activities you provide to your children…and keeping it simple!
Teaching Preschool at Home for Non-Crafty Moms
I like looking through the Dollar Aisle and Dollar Store when I have a moment-like when my husband is watching the kids and I get to run to Target on my own! (Mom-vacation!) It is great that there are inexpensive resources for our kids to learn basic concepts.
Going one step further, I look for great ideas from fellow moms who have been home with their kids, They know that many days it is nice to have a table activity or two to get your child engaged in structured-but developmentally appropriate-learning.

Try adding in a preschool Bible curriculum for homeschool to enhance the lessons.
