This is my Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten Health and Life Skills curriculum. As time goes on I will continue to add projects that correspond with these units. You can also find projects on my pinterest boards.

Nutrition Unit – Good and bad food choices, and how good foods fuel our bodies

• Purchase toy foods or save boxes and containers from real food. Set up a fake store and help your child shop for healthy foods
• Good vs. Bad Food Activity
• Draw a large food pyramid. Cut foods out and help the child place them on the correct spot on the pyramid. Explain to them that the larger spaces mean that you need to eat more of those items and the smaller spaces mean that you should eat them less.
• Books on Nutrition 
• Food Portioning Activity 
• Cook with your children. Every Friday I post a new recipe that I have done with my son: Pizza Night, Elephant Ears, Apple Crumble, Frozen Nutella Banana Dessert, Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookie, Pumpkin Bread, Apple Pie Frozen Yogurt 

Care Unit – Taking care of your body. Learning to take care of hair and teeth, picking out weather appropriate clothing and dressing, and washing hands and body.

• Let’s Play Dentist From Sense of Wonder
• The “Why do we need sunscreen?” Experiment from I Can Teach My Child
• Create a weather station where you discuss and display the weather for the day. Create a paper doll or laminated child figure with different clothing options. Each day after discussing the weather have your child dress the doll in clothes that are appropriate.

• Glitter Germs from Little Miss Kindergarten
• Germs and Hand Washing Lesson from Kids Soup
• Germ Experiment- Where do Germs Grow in Your House? from The Homeschool Den

** To form my preschool/pre-kindergarten curriculum outline I searched other curriculums to see what information they were covering. I also used the book “What Your Preschooler Should Know.” Finally, I added any subjects in which my son has shown interest. From there I searched for fun projects and educational activities that would teach the information for these units. If you have any questions about the information covered here please let me know **
