Cheap Preschool Fun

I love creating educational tools out of ordinary, everyday stuff. It makes our learning experiences both fun and affordable. Sometimes I find my kids enjoy playing with the cheap stuff over the things we spend more on! Here are some creative preschool enrichment ideas that barely cost a thing:

Matching colors with paint cards from the home department (free!) 

Each card had 1 inch or so circles that we could just punch out. I removed all of them and the kids matched the circles up with each card :)

Sorting colored paperclips in an egg carton 

After Gavin was done sorting his paperclips, he made a really long chain out of all of them.

Draw shapes on scrap paper and practice cutting with scissors

They could spend hours cutting out their shapes!
