Busy Toddler Flip Through Playing Preschool 1 & 2

Join Blue and Hazel’s newsletter: bit.ly/blueand...
We used Busy Toddler's Playing Preschool for my middle 2 kids, and loved having so many fun activities planned out. We didn't do all the activities, or all the days, but this was an easy way to ease into kindergarten and make some special memories one on one.
Things you'll notice:
No worksheets
Developed by a former kindergarten teacher and her mom (also a kindergarten teacher)
Things to know:
1. Start at Playing Preschool 1 no matter the age. It was originally made to be the only book, and to prepare the kids for kindergarten. Susie made Playing Preschool 2 when her oldest finished level 1 to work on more in depth skills, built on the skills from level 1.
2. You don't have to do all the activities or days. We skipped plenty and it was still a gem for us.
3. You can go faster if you like by combining each unit into one week instead of two. We often did that by doubling up on some things and skipping others.
This video shows activities inside Playing Preschool, supplies needed, what the format looks like for a day and a unit, and a general (though not complete) flip through through each book.
For a more thorough review of how we used this, and what I liked about it, watch my review of Playing Preschool video below.

Hello! Thanks for sharing! I just purchased this curriculum. I’m looking to have it printed and binded. How did you get the letters at the end of each lesson. It came in a separate file so I’m not sure how the printing company would integrate each letter after each lesson.

[@LizBlueandHazel]

You can either make copies of the letters in each lesson as you go, or print off the full alphabet from the separate file (I’d recommend that so it’s a one and done thing). You could take the alphabet file and print it free at a local library if you don’t have a printer at home.

Hey there! Are the recommended books available electronically, or do they all need to be purchased?

[@LizBlueandHazel]

I’m not sure about electronically…we got 100% of ours at the library. I know not all libraries are the same, but perhaps you could also look for some read aloud on KZbin if not an ebook?

[@ellenrussell3756]

I do a mix of books from the library, ebooks from the library, and KZbin read alouds.

[@LizBlueandHazel]

Yes, this is a digital only product so you’ll be emailed the PDF file that you’ll save to your computer and either print at home or print with printing company. No physical products sent.

Where did you get your book bound?

[@LizBlueandHazel]

This was bound through the Homeschool Printing Company website! They are quite affordable, but took about 3 weeks to get it in the mail.

[@meaganmcglynn383]

If you have a tank printer and print yourself , fedex spiral binds for an affordable price.

[@drumstiks12]

How much did they cost?

[@lauramendoza5540]

Can you give us more info about how to print and book bound it please

[@cgcruz129]

About how long does a page take each day to complete with a 4 year old?

[@Handropia]

Maybe an hour or less.

[@LizBlueandHazel]

In my memory we took about 20 min to do a lesson, unless the activity was so fun that it just kept going. We never spent the 45 min it says it’s supposed to take.

[@lauramendoza5540]

How much was it to book bound ?

[@LizBlueandHazel]

I paid about $11 for each book and about $10 for shipping. So total for both it was just above $30 shipped with about 3-4 weeks turn around time via the Homeschool Printing Company. But that was a few years ago now so prices may be higher.
