This week I started homeschool preschool with Owen. I thought it would be fun to have a more structured play time with him because I realized that there were some things I wanted to be sure that I taught him before he started Kindergarten.
I typed up 45 of my favorite preschool songs and laminated them.
There are some Sunday School favorites
Some songs that I remember from our little elementary school music class
And my favorites from our library’s children’s reading time.
I had the best time compiling this list and I can’t wait to start teaching these to Owen. What fun! Would you like them too? Here’s the link.
So as my homeschool journey begins, let me ask you… would you like to see some of the things Owen and I are working on? Do you homeschool too and if so, what are your favorite online resources?
I'm excited to see your activities. I'm always looking for fun ideas for my little ones.
Thanks! These are great! I would love to see what you do. I have a 1.5 year old and she loves to sing. I will certainly file away other ideas for "in a year or two"
Pls continue to share your creative activities with us! I am a working mom of 2 but defnitely spend a lot of time with my preschool princess:) we are now into starfall.com – Check it out its a great website resource also free:) Good Luck!
I'd like to see some ideas. My daughter is 2 1/2 and I've been compiling things so I can start a little schooling for her when the new school year starts (or maybe even sooner!). Fresh ideas are always needed 🙂
I would LOVE to see what you are doing with Owen! A couple blogs that I LOVE for homeschooling and "Tot School" type activities.

and
http://confessionsofahomeschooler.blogspot.com/
Both of these have TONS of resources, ideas, and FREE printables!! They are wonderful!
Good luck with your schooling!
Hi Sarah! I LOVE your blog and all of your creative ideas! I teach Kindermusik (music and movement classes for newborns-7 yrs) and elementary music and think it is so great that you are placing such an importance on music when you're working with Owen! I would love to see more things you guys are doing in your "classroom"!
I also wanted to tell you that I have "pinned" your blog on my Pinterest board as someone who insprires me. http://pinterest.com/melanie_stewart/what-inspires-me1/
Thanks for sharing with us!!
Hi Sarah! One of my favorite blogs for finding great art project ideas for my son Andrew (27 mo) is http://www.notimeforflashcards.com. It has tons of really well organizied ideas. HTH!
Sarah
Thank you for all the cute songs for little ones. I would love to see your other things you are working with Owen on. I am also enjoying the other recommended web sites! Thanks for posting!
Thanks, Sarah! This is so cute. I would LOVE to hear about what you do with Owen 🙂 What resources are you using right now?
Hope you are doing well – think of you often!!
Hugs,
Jenny
Thanks for the great resource!
Hi
What a beautiful little book of songs. I home school my four children and have done for the last four years. Here is our blog http://barrasschoolofexcellence.blogspot.com/
Its always great to find blogs like yours for new idea's and inspiration and its lovely to share idea's. Many thanks for your fun and interesting blog and good luck with homeschooling Owen, I'm sure you will both have lots of fun along the way! Zoe x
Yes, please share!
Hey Sarah! I totally want to see what you're doing with little O. I've been convicted of not being structured enough with 3 1/2 year old Greta and I think she would love it.
Someone already mentioned this link.
confessionsofahomeschooler.blogspot.com
I wanted to mention it again and say that we particularly use the Letter of the Week Curriculum with our preschoolers. It's fun and they love it!
Enjoy!
Yes, keep the homeschool ideas coming! I'm planning on teaching my boys at home starting this fall, and I could use all the help I can get!
Sarah,
These are fantastic ideas and I can't wait to see MORE!! Your little man Owen is pretty lucky to have you! 🙂
I dont' homeschool but I do enjoy keeping my children busy with cute activities such as these, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for these, Sarah! I tend to go blank when I try to think of songs other than the four or five I usually sing with the kids. Loving this variety! 🙂
Wow! Thank you! My education degree & experience are for upper elementary/middle school. Since I've been gathering ideas to work with my toddler, I've been drawing a blank on songs! (Today, I even resorted to the Name Game Song. "Mommy Mommy Bo Bommy, Banana-Fana-Fo-Fommy…") I'll print out your PDF and start teaching Elizabeth some fun new songs.

I love your little cards with songs! I have been wanting to do something like this of a while! I tried printing your but the font was really small. Is there another way for me to print it larger?
Shaper, I'll email you the PDF. The font is pretty small (I think it's 8pt) to fit on the cards. I hope that helps! Thanks for reading!
Is there anyway you could share the PDF with me, too? Thank you so much for your time & resources!

I had preschool for my own 8 children and now have taught about half of my grandchildren. I am always excited to see young mothers as excited to teach their young ones, as I was.

It is always good to freshen up

Many medieval English verses associated with the birth of Jesus take the form of a lullaby, including "Lullay, my liking, my dere son, my sweting" and may be versions of contemporary lullabies. However, most of those used today date from the 17th century. For example, a well known lullaby such as "Rock-a-bye, baby on a tree top", cannot be found in records until the late-18th century when it was printed by John Newbery.
