 EARLY LEARNING PLAY IDEAS FOR KIDS

I love Back To School time! It has always been one of my favorite times of the year. We have done so many awesome early learning play activities that are perfect for preschoolers! Learn and play, play and learn. This is how we like to do it! Early literacy, math, science, fine motor and sensory play to spark curiosity, interest, and excitement and provide valuable skills for the years to come!

Below you will find tons of great ideas grouped by category. Click on the links to take you to the original post to find out more. All of these ideas are simple and low cost. I believe they are all hassle free and successful for a variety of children. My son enjoyed them all. We began early learning play activities at the age of 3 and he is now closing in on 6 and going strong. We have learned so much together while enjoying these early learning play activities!
