Without a doubt, the number one question I am asked here on Preschoolers and Peace is, "How do I possibly keep my preschooler busy while I'm trying to get school done with the older kids?" I love this question, because it is the very reason the blog and site were created.

Over the past six years, I've tried my best to give you as many ideas and resources as I possibly could, from activities that have worked in our home to suggestions from readers and friends. Now you can find the best of them all right here.
