Indoor and outdoor activities to keep the little ones busy!
We may be closed over the holidays, but we’re not leaving you totally stranded! Our staff have put together some ideas to help keep those kiddos busy over the next two (hopefully!) weeks.
Watch our staff! Youtube Playlists:
(The Preschool staff made these videos during the lock down to help families keep children entertained at home!)
Fun winter activities!
Go sledding or hiking
Make chores cheerful – throw a housecleaning party – with music and snacks!

Make an Edible Ice bird feeder
- Fill a bundt pan with bird seed and then add water.
- Sit the pan outside in the cold and let it freeze.
- Once it’s frozen, hang a ribbon through the hole and hang it on the porch.
Alphabet A – Z Challenge
The great part about this challenge is it can be played anywhere! Try calling friends and family members on Zoom or FaceTime to play as a group.
The goal of this challenge is to be the first person to produce 26 items, one item representing each letter of the alphabet. You can also make it a team effort and have multiple people work together to get it done!
For example, in the house, you may find an Apple, Basket, Cotton ball, Dice, Envelope, Football…
