If you have a toddler and homeschool older siblings, your pre-K child may want to do “school work” too. My 3-year old started insisting on worksheet type activities when she was 2 1/2. Since that time, I have sought out preschool activities she would enjoy. My 3-year old was excited for our opportunity to try out Evan-Moor’s Skill Sharpeners Geography book. I received this workbook in exchange for this review. All opinions are my own.
Toddler Workbook Heaven
What kid doesn’t like getting mail? If your preschooler is like mine, a special book just for them arriving in the mail is like a birthday or Christmas present. My daughter was so excited to get her book. She saw all of the bright colors and wanted to start doing the activities right away. She is in toddler workbook heaven with the Skill Sharpeners Geography book.
