Pre-school for free

When my oldest was younger I stumbled on to a site called dltk-kids ( http://www.dltk-kids.com/ltk-kids ).  I have used the site off and on ever since.  The site is geared toward pre-school, but it also includes a few activities for older children.  The site offers alphabet printable that kids can color or paint in addition to craft activities that correspond to that the letter.  It also offers social studies crafts and activities such as nutrition and community themes (under the miscellaneous tab).  There are worksheets for numbers, holidays and special calendar events (National Pie Day, January 23rd).  As an added bonus, there are even Bible printable sheets.  All this is offered to you for FREE!

Since my youngest is in preschool I have been frequenting the site quiet often.  Here are some of the items we have made over the last couple of weeks.

Another site that I use for pre-school is called starfall.com.  The site is not printable like dltk.  It is an interactive site that teaches the names and sounds of letters to preschoolers.  This is very helpful for those of us with a bit of a southern twang as it teaches the proper pronunciations of the letters.  The site progresses as they master the sounds teaching them to read and eventually allowing them to read on their own.

Make sure to make both these sites your favorites as I am sure you could use these sites for Kindergarten as well.
