I need a good preschool age appropriate activity that goes along with the snack of trail mix. I was thinking something on the lines of traveling. It can be a file folder or craft pretty much anything that will take longer than 5 minutes. any idea or websites would be great! thanks!


Answer
Hello Alyssa.

You use a snack of Trail Mix, when?
Why of course...when you are on a hike
Are you able to take a hike (walk) outside anywhere?
There all sorts of themed hikes you can do with your preschoolers.

One I love is to have several students pick out a favorite toy or crayon. Using those items, try to find those colors while on your walk.

Another is to have them stop, look, listen at various points. Leading them to certain "FINDS" - ie a bird in a nest singing, a bird in the tree, a squirrel, a leaf, a pine cone, a fish in the water, a duck, etc. They can then come in and draw or color what they Found while on their discovery walk.

You could also set up an outside trek - where you have to jump over the river (two jumpropes), crawl under a ___ (anything low lying) , go into a cave (a box - open eneded), climb a huge rock - etc... use your imagination with it...anything can be fun.
