Busy Toddler’s Playing Preschool Review After Using With 2 Kids

[@meganrose22]

What an amazing review of Playing PreSchool! ❤ I barely see it on KZbin. I’ve been using it with my 4 year old and it’s been so fantastic. Truly open and go and so easy to swap common items if we don’t have something on hand. I homeschool two older children (5th and 2nd) and have a baby so getting to the library just wasn’t in the books for me. We did all of our books with the KZbin read aloud. That’s always an option if you can’t find a particular book or like me and can’t get that part. 😊

Thanks for the suggestion of KZbin read aloud! Great idea. That would actually make this much more open and go for parents! So glad you’ve enjoyed this and also that you’ve found it doable with older kids and a baby.

I’m currently using the first year with my 3.5 year old and she loves it! We are to the Five Senses Unit. ❤️

Isn’t it so fun? Glad you are liking it!

Great review! I'm considering using this for my 3 year old next year. I will also have one in kinder and grade 2 all homeschooled. I was hoping maybe my second grader could help facilitate some activities for the youngest, she doesn't want to be left out and wants her own 'school time'. How much prep time did you find you needed to set up the activities? I don't have a ton, we use several one on one curriculums here.

[@LizBlueandHazel]

I don’t think you’ll spend a ton of time setting up activities so long as you have purchased the most commonly used things like butcher paper, tape, rice, a big bin, dot stickers and some paints, etc. I’d say 10 min max for you t set up the activities. There were TONS of days I’d just swap an activity out for something else from a future day because it’s what I had on hand or it was easier to set up for that day. We also slipped many activities and repeated ones they really liked on other days. And yea your 2nd grader could help you set this up anytime!

I have the first one. I have done some of about 4 units with my soon to be 3 year old when he was starting at 2.5. He loves it and now he asks to do school with me often. He also really enjoys the activities. My much older 8 year old son likes doing the activities too. 😂. One thing we do not do yet is the writing or attempting to write or even play dough write yet because my son isn’t quite ready to write yet.

[@LizBlueandHazel]

Awesome! It’s such a neat program. I love that your 8 year old even has fun with it, how cute! Ya, the writing that early wouldn’t make sense. Good call. Lots of time to learn that later!

Did you print and bind the content yourself?

[@LizBlueandHazel]

I printed these through the homeschool printing company. It’s the company Busy Toddler recommends in the book!

@@LizBlueandHazel how much did it cost through the homeschool printing company?

I am also curious about what it cost! ​@@meganritchie589
