Hi I did something like this when my daughter turned 2 now she’s almost 3 1/2 and we are doing a combined pre-k/kindergarten curriculum just based on workbooks from places like Walmart and Kmart and learning toys from Vtech and Leapfrog. You’ll be amazed at how big an impression starting out so small can make on a little one. Congrats and good luck.

This is really neat. I wish I had known something about it back when my daughter was this young.

I’d love to find something for after school/weekends for a 3rd grader. Let me know if you ever stumble upon anything like that.

I was going to do this, but found it was going to be too confusing. I ended up just doing a letter each week and picking 2-3 things to go with it (Ant, Apple, Alligator) and then picking up some books from the library to go with each topic and looking online for a craft idea to go with each. It was much less overwhelming for me, although I did use that website for ideas.

Thanks Christy! I’ve been working on our curriculum for my almost 3 year old to reinforce what he’s learning at preschool. The site you gave looks great!

Christy, the link you sent me to, is the preparatory curriculum. I think it’s what we are planning on using.

Joanna - I’m hoping it doesn’t get boring. This is my first foray into this type of thing, so not sure what to expect. We’ll see how it goes.

Michelle - What is the positively adorable prep curr? I tried googling it with no luck. Thanks! BTW, how are you liking the letter of the week curriculum?

I’m using Letter of the Week, too!! But I’m combining the positively adorable Preparatory Curriculum and the Letter of the Week. I was able to find most of the Cow books at our library - adorable! Have fun.

I did this same thing when Kelsie was 2. It got boring for me so fast. We didn’t end up doing it all the way through. But, I will say that the little we did do she learned a lot from, especially the letter recognition. She just turned 3 and we are fixing to start the Kumon work books along with some other online preK stuff. Good Luck to you! They do grow up so fast!
