You and your preschooler will be in situations that require your undivided attention, and when your preschooler will be required to stay otherwise occupied (and hopefully free of trouble)!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Preschoolers already get a lot of screen time; so it may be neat to consider some other possibilities to occupy your child\u2019s time while you are away from home. Whether you will have to take your preschooler to your doctor\u2019s appointment, or if you will all have to be in the vehicle for a long period of time, here are a few ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keep things fresh! Proactively have a \u201cgo-to bag\u201d that is filled with fresh activities your preschooler does not otherwise get to play with at home. Examples may include fun animal stickers, reusable sticker scenes, colorful pens, or fancy markers to use with a fresh notebook or new coloring book. The possibilities are endless, based on your preschooler\u2019s likes! The key is that the items inside the bag are fresh.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Utilize free books from the library! If you know in advance that your preschooler will be going to some appointment with you, find several \u201clift the flap\u201d books to take along. There are detailed books with a lot of flaps! Seek and find books are another possibility to get from the library.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Check out Melissa and Doug toys. They have \u201cWater WOW\u201d water pens that give your preschooler the chance to color an activity page using just water in an enclosed container. This company also has sticker scenes, dry erase activity books, and so much more. These types of things could be included in your go-to bag. Many children\u2019s consignment stores sell these products, and you can find them online.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are ways for your preschooler to stay occupied, while also getting the chance to use their imagination while away from home. If your child is happy and occupied, it will make your outing go much smoother. That\u2019s a win-win for everyone!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you enjoyed this blog, please take a look at our school\u2019s<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/highland-glen-pearland\/blog\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> blog page<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
