The pressure to buy everything is intense when your kids are young and just beginning their homeschool journey. I am a former preschool teacher and operate within a real-life budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My youngest child attended a Mom&#8217;s Day Out preschool when we <a href=\"https:\/\/intentionallywell.org\/were-a-homeschool-family-now\/\">started homeschooling<\/a>. Even though I taught my older children at home, we kept him enrolled. However, this year, he will be home full-time with us. I am so excited! He is starting pre-k. Because he is my last child, I do not want to spend much money on things we will only use for a short time. So, I am sharing <em>with you<\/em> what I consider to be all the homeschool preschool essentials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Essentials You&#8217;ll Use for Years<\/h2>\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ss&amp;ref=as_ss_li_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=intentiona087-20&amp;language=en_US&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B00VIOZ7ZA&amp;asins=B00VIOZ7ZA&amp;linkId=58a783a57bc516ae95cf4c344a82aa73&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=true\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-popups allow-scripts allow-modals allow-forms allow-same-origin\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Tabletop easels are great because they take up less space and can easily be stored.

I had them in my classroom when I taught preschool. Every piece is the same size and weight. That might sound boring, but it fuels creativity. Because all the blocks are equal, building impressive stable structures that don&#8217;t fall over easily is easy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Essentials for Arts and Crafts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve said it before, and I will repeat it. I am not a crafty mom. When I taught preschool, my co-teacher did all the arts and crafts because I didn&#8217;t enjoy it. However, they are essential for preschoolers. Crafts provide opportunities for so much exploration and learning, so of course, I will be doing all the crafting with my preschooler this year. Below are a few things I consider essential to always have on hand but might not be obvious. Additionally, most of these products can be used in other subjects, such as math and science. <\/p>\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ss&amp;ref=as_ss_li_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=intentiona087-20&amp;language=en_US&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B00004W3Y4&amp;asins=B00004W3Y4&amp;linkId=c83b127ad98984d5a4e5b5150006788a&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=true\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-popups allow-scripts allow-modals allow-forms allow-same-origin\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">These Dot Markers were a last-minute addition to my homeschool preschool essentials, but I am so glad I bought them. They are easy to hold for kids who might not have a tremendous pincer grip yet, and they practice the handwriting skill of using appropriate pressure. Use these to create artwork, or you can use them to learn all about patterns in math.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ss&amp;ref=as_ss_li_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=intentiona087-20&amp;language=en_US&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B01LX0UJBN&amp;asins=B01LX0UJBN&amp;linkId=71bc01195149c8e0c31e6d0db5554068&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=true\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-popups allow-scripts allow-modals allow-forms allow-same-origin\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Everyone knows about construction paper, but cardstock paper is great for preschoolers. Cardstock is, of course, thicker than construction paper. This means the paper won&#8217;t tear as quickly when your child uses 10x of the glue necessary. The same is true when your little one colors too much with markers in the same spot. Cardstock is also great for building on established hand-strengthening skills like folding, tearing, and cutting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ss&amp;ref=as_ss_li_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=intentiona087-20&amp;language=en_US&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B001PMI0B8&amp;asins=B001PMI0B8&amp;linkId=e72aa1ea599c2517244e37aae0e264ec&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=true\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-popups allow-scripts allow-modals allow-forms allow-same-origin\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Triangle crayons are fantastic if your preschooler struggles with their pincer grip. They encourage proper grip, meaning you must correct your child less. The bonus is these crayons won&#8217;t roll off the table.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Essentials for Sensory Play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we need to talk about the importance of sensory play. My <a href=\"https:\/\/ihomeschoolnetwork.com\/homeschooling-adhd-preschooler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">preschooler has ADHD<\/a>, and he needs sensory input throughout the day. Even if your child is not neurodivergent, sensory play is essential for early learning. It fuels learning and curiosity for preschoolers (and all children, honestly). Below are things I have on hand for sensory play at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sensacalm.com\/collections\/toys-accessories\/products\/sensory-calm-box\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/intentionallywell.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-06-at-3.08.31-PM-592x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1907\" width=\"152\" height=\"263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/intentionallywell.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-06-at-3.08.31-PM-592x1024.png 592w, https:\/\/intentionallywell.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-06-at-3.08.31-PM-600x1038.png 600w, https:\/\/intentionallywell.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-06-at-3.08.31-PM-173x300.png 173w, https:\/\/intentionallywell.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-06-at-3.08.31-PM.png 642w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 152px) 100vw, 152px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sensacalm.com\/collections\/toys-accessories\/products\/sensory-calm-box\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SensaCalm fidget kit<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Last year I added a fidget station to our homeschool, and it was such a <strong>huge<\/strong> hit.

It is big enough to provide enough room to play but small enough to be practical. I also like how it can be used for water play. I switch up what is in here every week for my preschooler. For our first week of school, I put soapy water in it along with his little construction builder trucks. His activity was to wash and dry them. He <strong>loved<\/strong> it!<\/p>\n<p>And there you have it! I wanted to keep this list sparse, containing only what I consider homeschool preschool essentials. You can always add more once you begin schooling and notice gaps. But this list will get you a great start to your homeschool journey!
