The Ultimate Homeschool Guide to FREE Preschool Resources

* This post may contain affiliate links or sponsored content. *

Do you have little ones who like to stay busy? Most preschoolers like to play, explore, create, and stay on the move! If you have little ones at home, you’ll enjoy this list of printables, activities, websites, and ideas for keeping them busy doing something fun and educational.

Something that’s important to keep in mind when you’re thinking about teaching your preschoolers is that you don’t always need curriculum. There are some great ones out there, and we’re definitely in favor of using them if you find one you love that your preschoolers also enjoy. But there are lots of educational things you can do with your little ones that don’t require you to buy anything.
