Do you have an educational post that is about your child and you would like to share? It can be a craft, a lesson, sport etc. that your child learned this week. You do not have to be a homeschooler to LINK up below – happy to have you join us! Then come back every Friday and continue to share your learn and link post! Please do not link up educational reviews – thanks!

My 3 year old daughter has been asking to do homeschool more and more so I decided that on top of hands on activities she needed more.

I noticed that homeschool share has several lapbooks for preschoolers. So every 2 weeks we will be doing a new lapbook. Instead of doing them as a tradition lapbook we will have a lapbook binder instead were all her work will be 3 hole punched and placed in the binder.

The last 2 weeks we worked on our Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb.

Along with the fun lesson I uploaded Monkey Drum (this is a FREE App) on my iPad for her to play which is a game where the monkey plays the drum and she has to follow his patterns (kind of like Simon Says) and then her and her siblings played Jumpin’ Monkey.

Then we did a craft to go along with the book, materials needed for craft:

Paper

Paint

Paint Brush

Pencil & Marker

For the name of the book – Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb – that is exactly what she painted and then pressed on paper and then afterwards we wrote the name of the book on her artwork.

Then I tied yarn on 2 of their desk chairs and handed her The Barrel of Monkeys and had her hang them from the yarn – she loved this – great for hand and eye cordination.
