Outdoor Preschool Activities

With spring here that means we’re heading outdoors a lot more and loving it. What can you do outside that can occupy those preschoolers. Well, it’s a great place to make a mess because you don’t have to worry so much about cleaning it up. And with preschool activities, the messier the better. We were just outside this weekend so my daughter could write on the front steps with her chalk. Unfortunately, it rained the next day and destroyed her creations but she knows we can get back to it once it stops raining. See what these wonderful bloggers have come up with to keep those little ones busy.
