Awesome Toys and Activities to Keep Preschoolers Busy

I never realized the power of "big paper" until we recently purchased a roll from Ikea. In the eyes of a preschooler, big paper equals big fun. The first thing we did when we got our big paper was to trace out the outline of our kids' bodies and have them color themselves in. The next day the kids made made giant snakes. The following day they made a massive underwater sea world with fish and painted the whole thing with watercolors and salt (for the bubbles, of course). The possibilities are endless.

We also have giant rolls of coloring sheet paper which keeps them busy for long periods of time without me having to find a new sheet to color. The preschoolers are right, "big paper" is the way to go!
