\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Home activities for kids do not need a new toy bin. These screen free indoor activities for preschoolers use paper, crayons, and a half hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Color one picture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One page, not a stack. Stop when they stand up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Trace a number in three colours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The repeat is the lesson. The colours make it feel new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Tear paper strips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tearing builds the same hand strength as scissors, with less frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Build a shape<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Use blocks to make a circle, a square, and a triangle. Name each one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Match and count<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Put five toys in a row and count them forward and back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Draw from a circle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start with a circle and turn it into a sun, a face, or an animal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. A studio afternoon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When home is too small, Open Studio is the same idea with more materials and none of the cleanup.<\/p>\n\n\n
