Lots of preschool and toddler packs have similar printables and many of them are pretty self explanatory. However, many of them need a bit more explanation. Even doing a few printable kids activities with your child can teach him or her valuable skills in preparation for school. But, in order to do these activities, you first have to know how to do them. This post will give you all the information you need to use all of those printable activities for kids.
Most of the preschool printables for this series will come from my Toddler Curriculum. Many of the printables (or similar ones) are common in preschool packs from lots of different bloggers. Follow my Preschool Packs pinterest board for lots of fun printable kids activities. If you are wondering how to use a certain printable, email me at [email protected] and I’ll do a post about that printable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if my toddler eats the glue or paint?
Use non-toxic, washable supplies made for young kids, and stay close. A taste won’t hurt, but supervision keeps it from becoming a snack.
What age are these crafts and activities for?
Most work well for toddlers and preschoolers, roughly 18 months through age 4. You can simplify the steps for younger kids or add detail for older ones.
How do I do crafts with a toddler without it being a disaster?
Keep the steps simple, cover your surface, and focus on the fun over the finished product. A little mess is part of the process at this age.
