Little ones often like to "do school" like their older siblings. Many of the following links will give you ideas for activities and worksheets. However, like candy, too much of a good thing can be bad. The best "activity" for a young child is playtime.

Homeschooling with Little Ones...

• What do I do to keep my little ones occupied while I homeschool? An experienced mom gives advice.
• My little one is so demanding and/or naughty that I can't get any schoolwork done with my older children.  This website gives helpful ideas.
