An easy preschool activity can be as simple as a sensory base + a toy.

Sometimes you can even add a bit of water within a bin.

Then, add a drop or two of food coloring and some pouring cups! 

Easy peasy! 

These kind of activities make for a fun sensory experience! 

We love simple printable activities to go along with a simple preschool curriculum. 

Another fun way to bring about easy and fun preschool lesson plans are to:
