Your preschoolers will be thrilled to create a secret playhouse in the middle of their own homes. It doesn\u2019t hurt that you can also teach them the significance of cleaning up as a team afterwards when it\u2019s time to put everything back.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Fun in the Kitchen<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Making a snack like ants on a log is both entertaining and healthy, or you can spend more time mixing and stirring and bake some desserts like Rice Krispies treats.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Dance to music<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pick your preschooler\u2019s favorite song and get your kiddos moving. You can also play the music video on TV or use a sing-along video. This will use a lot of that built up energy while getting much needed exercise for your growing kids.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Balloon Fun<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While athletics can seem like an unsafe activity for your living room, balloons make for a softer-impact toy. Play balloon volleyball or a game where you can\u2019t let the balloon land on the floor\u2014watch your preschooler transition from uninterested to excited in just minutes!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you enjoyed this blog and want to read more, click below for our blog from last month!<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/oakbrook\/2020\/05\/31\/fathers-day-with-preschool-children\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Father\u2019s Day with Preschool Children<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Want to learn more about<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kidsrkidsoakbrook.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids Learning Academy of Oakbrook<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> located in Norcross, Georgia?
