[quote=Anonymous]I teach preschool at a location that is closed so you are definitely not the only one! My kids are older, but here are my suggestions for you—

Try to get out of the house before DL, at lunch time, and after school if you can. It’s hard being home all day! Run, scooter, etc.

Make playdoh as an activity when you have time. Then bring it out for your little one. The next time you bring it out add some dinosaur toys. Next time you can use straws to poke holes. Switching out the “tools” makes the same playdoh more fun.

Make oobleck out of cornstarch and water —super cheap.

Baking soda and vinegar and food coloring plus some eye droppers or pipettes can be super fun at that age.

Follow your child’s interests. If he gets excited about pine cones—start collecting them and give him a magnifying glass. Collect acorns and leaves and make a nature box. If he’s into building then look at books for architecture and see if he can build his version of the buildings with his own building materials. Listen when he plays and see if you can build on those interests.
