<div xmlns="http://www.coremedia.com/2003/richtext-1.0" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Under one roof• www.everythingpreschool.comWhat it offers This site revolves around the concept that children learn through doing, which is why it offers over 30,000 activities separated into more than 100 themes. Geared towards helping preschool teachers, it is also an excellent resource site for parents. There are also suggested lesson plans you can replicate if you're toying with the ideaof home-schooling.YP's verdict The site is very clearly categorised. And whether you're looking for specific themed activities (like "space" or "beach"), you'll really be spoilt for choice. Under each category you'll find suggested songs, art and crafts ideas, recommended books, as well as games and colouring pages (and for some categories, even related food ideas). Thinking of starting your child on the letters of the alphabet? Explore the "Preschool Alphabet" page for a heap of inspirational ideas.</div>

Before you leave, check out the "Teaching Ideas" segment. There are eight pages of free ideas to try, like play dough-counting templates, sorting different cereals (it develops maths skills) and alphabet floor dominoes.<table><tr><td rowspan="1" colspan="1"><img alt="" xlink:actuate="onLoad" xlink:show="embed" xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="coremedia:///cap/resources/904132/thumbnail"/></td><td rowspan="1" colspan="1">Get a copy of the January 2012 issue of Young Parents for expert advice and local tips to make you a better mum or dad.
