Indoor activities for preschoolers

Ready Play Days helps caregivers choose simple indoor activities. The activity finder needs JavaScript, but you can try these ideas without it.

Mirror faces

You need no supplies. Sit facing each other, make a gentle facial expression, and invite your child to copy it or make a different one. Take turns leading.

Picture detective

You need an intact picture book. Hold the book, describe something on the page, and invite your child to point to it, name it or describe another picture. Take turns choosing what to find.

Stay with your child and choose activities and supplies that suit them.
