Preschool Lessons for the Letter K (This post contains affiliate links.) K was a little more boring than some of the other letters so far. Most likely, it was my fault since we were just getting back into the swing of things after Christmas break. At any rate, here goes the fun… A king’s crown…
We’re more than half-way through our study of ancient history using Ancient Civilizations and the Bible by Diana Waring. As we’ve gotten to know the curriculum, I’ve found a few things to be extremely useful in helping my children “see” and understand the material. By no means are they necessary in order to complete the…
Preschool Lessons for the Letter J (This post contains affiliate links.) Since the letter J fell so close to Christmas, Jesus was our main topic! Of course, we couldn’t forget fun things like jelly beans and jam cookies, so there’s a hodgepodge of fun in here. We completed several fun printables from 1+1+1=1. Find her…
These playful preschool Christmas activities are perfect for creating a sense of wonder in children while also teaching fundamental skills.

Preschool Lessons for the Letter I (This post contains affiliate links.) The letter I was tons of fun – and my big kids even took part in putting together some of the activities.

She might design a purse! Because of our Charlotte Mason style homeschool, I’ve encouraged handicrafts such as sewing, crocheting and knitting from the very beginning. I’ve enlisted the help of a 90+ year old neighbor, a grandmother and a 4-H sewing class – for, you see, I’m not good at any of these skills! Mahayla…
It’s hard to believe we just celebrated the 4th birthday of my littlest! I love this picture from the party of my three kiddos with their great grandparents. They are blessed to still have three great grandparents in their lives!
Preschool Lessons for the Letter H (This post contains affiliate links.) We painted hand after hand to make these colorful handprints. Cutting playdough shapes in half is an easy way to teach early fractions. We couldn’t pass up playing Hi Ho Cherry-O this week. A game called The wHole Picture teaches matching in a unique…
Preschool Lessons for the Letter G (This post contains affiliate links.) All of the printables in this post came from Confessions of a Homeschooler.

The history of Ancient Israel is now under our belts! I have to admit that I swerved from the textbook a tad during this unit to add several hands-on ideas that I simply couldn’t pass up from Old Testament Days. This unit study guide is perfect for active learning! Below you’ll find a mixture…
Preschool Lessons for the Letter F (This post contains affiliate links.) Creativeness failed me during our study of the letter F. That and the fact that this week was b-u-s-y!

Another field trip bites the dust. More than a simple field trip, though, this one was life changing! The National Missionary Convention was held this past weekend in Lexington, and because our church registered, we were able to attend for free. You know me and field trips, I wasn’t about to pass up a free…
