The Preschool Activities workbook collection is designed for both parents and educators, who can use the books as learning materials with children. For each age group—3–5 years (younger and middle preschool groups) and 5–6/7 years (the older group)—there are four themed workbooks covering different areas of learning: Mathematical Activities covers science; Language Development covers language and literature; Exploring the Environment covers both science and social studies; and Educational Games and Activities covers arts and creativity while also reinforcing everything children have learned.

Each page in these workbooks features several activities, giving children the opportunity to practise a range of knowledge and skills.

The Educational Games and Activities workbook for the younger and middle preschool groups has several learning objectives: developing the ability to draw by following a model; practising basic graphic strokes; improving hand-eye coordination; developing the ability to trace dotted lines; learning to colour evenly and within the outlines; and encouraging children to identify similarities and differences.

Tips for parents: Ask your child to notice the colours, textures and shapes of the things around them; listen together to children’s music from different cultures; always keep pencils, watercolours and drawing paper within reach; explore different work surfaces and tools for applying colour; encourage your child to mix colours and observe how they blend; frame and display their drawings to build their confidence; and always notice and praise their progress!
