The most difficult thing a parent will ever have to do is to try to keep the wandering mind of a preschooler occupied. They have such a short attention span that you need to have a library of games, activities and events to entertain them. Since a bored preschooler can only lead to no good, here are some simple activities that you might want to keep in mind.
Outdoors
In the winter time it’s sometimes difficult to have your child play outside. However, every once in a while the temperature moderates and that is the time to head out for a walk. It is true what they say about the fresh air, it can really wear kids out. Of course, don’t forget to bundle up. And if it is too cold, head to the mall and do some window shopping.
Arts and Crafts
If you can’t get out of the house, try a craft activity. Craft stores have made it easy, even if you’re not a crafty person. Packaged craft-in-a-box activities are very popular with kids. They include making beaded jewelry, bookmarks, birdhouses and more.
Indoor Play Centers
The Y, gymnastics centers, indoor play centers, mommy and me classes, activities of all types to fit all budgets are going on right now in your community. Look in your local paper, check online and check with your local library or community center for more information on how you can get involved
