A big question I hear a lot wherever homeschoolers gather is: how do you entertain toddlers and preschoolers while schooling older children? Here are some of my favorite resources:
Keeping Your Preschooler Occupied
Building a Sensory Table (or a “rice center“)
Homeschooling with Babies, Toddlers and Preschoolers
And, if you’re looking for something more formal, check out these ideas:

What are some of your favorite tips or resources for keeping the littles occupied during school time?

Thanks for the links!! I added your post to my “link list” for homeschooling.
I keep a list of some of my favorite pre-school activities on my blog at cleverkiddos.com if you would like to take a look. :)

I’m glad it was helpful, Kristi.
I’ll have to check out your list, Texas. I’ll only have my niece with us a few more weeks, but maybe I can find something for that time that she’d enjoy.

Children learn so much through play, that they don’t really need a formal plan.
Great links.
