Preschool Curriculum Activities:

Free Home School Fun Activity Ideas

Preschool curriculum activities are the perfect way to enjoy learning together, and our free home school activity ideas help you have fun while covering all sorts of curriculum subjects.

We had fun with lots of homeschool activities with William and Catherine - just have a look for yourself! By following their interests they leapt light years beyond any curricula in most areas and we all enjoyed ourselves along the way.

I am certain that the key to learning is to follow your child's interests.

Imagination is the key to all the best free curriculum activities.

Running a home school Zoo is another way to learn all sorts of curriculum subjects. Even if you just get your child to watch the link to the live Zoo cam on our homeschooling page on free Preschool Activity Ideas they'll probably learn enough to know that lions are carnivores!

Preschool Reading

Preschool curriculum activities don't get much better than ideas to encourage your child to love books. All you have to do is pass on the joy of reading and the whole world opens up.

Add that vital ingredient - fun - into your homeschooling reading curriculum and you've won.

There are so many exciting ways to introduce home school preschool reading. How about these ideas:

• A homeschooling activity book where you can actually hear the dolphins calling.
• Lift-the-flap and pop-up books.
• Squeaky books, books with textured pages, homeschool books with nice smells.

Teaching The Alphabet

Just by reading out loud to your preschool child and laughing together you'll give enough encouragement to show your child that books are fabulous.

Whatever preschool curriculum you choose to follow, I think it's more important to pass on this joy than to have a child that can read at three.

Catherine didn't learn to read until she was 8 and a half. Now you can't stop her!

John Holt has this to say:

"When she learned to read, it was going to be by her own choosing, at her own time, and in her own way. This spirit of independence in learning is one of the most valuable assets a learner can have, and we who want to help children's learning, at home or in school, must learn to respect and encourage it." (John Holt, How Children Learn).

Free Home School Science Activities and Ideas

I can safely say our free homeschool preschool curriculum activities put us in the stratosphere compared to any curricula you can buy.

Come and join us on a homeschooling archeological dig and dig up a homeschool dinosaur in our free Preschool Science Activities.

Home School Preschool Writing

Here are some free homeschooling preschool ideas for learning writing:

• See what letters you can spot around you. Can you read the first letter of your favorite homeschooling treat?
• Look out for signs, billboards and notices around you.
• Read car licence plates and house numbers together.
• You could write down things your child dictates to you - that should prove those squiggles mean something!
• Try other homeschooling ideas like sponge letters, stencils, wipe-clean boards, magnetic alphabet letters, writing letters on your child's back - anything that's fun and makes letter shapes familiar.

Writing, like reading, can't be forced whatever preschool curriculum you choose but you can add in home school activities and ideas which encourage your child to have a go.

Homeschooling Art and Craft Activities

Home school art and craft activities teach all sorts of curriculum skills. An obvious one is improving your child's ability to hold a pen but, more than that, creativity is the part of us which enriches everyone. See how we try homeschooling hand art to make everything from dogs to aliens in our free Preschool Art Activities.

Free preschool curriculum activities will help your child whatever curriculum you decide to follow because they will show your child that homeschool learning is fun.
