In Preschool and Early Kindergarten, children work on basic skills: color recognition, scissor skills, learning letters, and more. Worksheets and printables are only one of the ways to help children learn these early skills.
I often make workbooks for my preschooler so she feels like she’s doing school like the “big kids”. After we’ve played a matching game, or put together a File Folder Game, or practiced letters with playdough, we do a page or two out of her homemade notebook.
