Cereal on the floor. Laundry thrown around the room. Toys strewn down the stairway. I get it. It can be hard to find a way to keep little toddlers and preschoolers busy while schooling the older kids. When I was teaching Elijah math, and I needed something fun, quick, and constructive for Simon, I'd grab a Preschool Activity Bag.

Where did you get the printable for the animal match game?
I made it and posted it on Homeschool Share. It is a little bit buried, and I really need to reorganize the page, but you’ll find it here.
Look for “Animal Match Grid by Ami”
I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful ideas. I was already doing some of these things with my youngest son, but never had it organized and ready to go for whenever he wanted. Now that we are homeschooling it is so much easier having all his “cool school tools” (as he calls them) ready to go when I am working with our older children. I made my own post about our packs and linked to you. I hope that is alright. If not, please let me know!
This is a wonderful idea–thanks so much for such a helpful (and fun) website!
