It was a Monday like any other during that season of my life. I went into my school's staff lounge to place yellow slips into the mailboxes of teachers that had not yet submitted their lesson plans for that week. I'll never forget: as I placed a yellow slip into one math teacher's mailbox this particular morning, it was as if the LORD stopped me and said (though not audibly), "Larry, where is your plan? You want your teachers to have lesson plans, but where is your plan for your own life, your spiritual development, your marriage, your parenting, and the discipleship of your own children?"   Topics: [Spiritual Formation](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/ages3-k/topic/spiritual-formation) [Whole Child Education](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/ages3-k/topic/whole-child-education) [Christian Education](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/ages3-k/topic/christian-education) [Parenting](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/ages3-k/topic/parenting) [Preschool](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/ages3-k/topic/preschool) [Faith](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/ages3-k/topic/faith) [Continue Reading](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/ages3-k/intentional-parenting) ###### 3 min read ## [4 Fun Ways to Keep Your Preschooler Engaged At Home](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/ages3-k/inspired-play-fun-free-ways-to-keep-your-preschooler-engaged-at-home) By [Worthington Christian School](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/ages3-k/author/worthington-christian-school) on Apr 23, 2020 9:00 PM [![](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/hubfs/Preschool%20Boredom%20Busters.jpg)](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/ages3-k/inspired-play-fun-free-ways-to-keep-your-preschooler-engaged-at-home) Certain moments and seasons of life require that we stay home more than is typical. In my case, more than me or my people would like! Staying in because of inclement weather, illness, or any other reason typically requires a bit more creativity in keeping young troops from getting too restless. Sometimes I struggle to drum up this creativity. I am so thankful for the myriad of free, online education resources and activities available, but I do occasionally find myself slipping into what feels like a black hole of trying to find the *right* activities. So I asked three Kindergarten teachers what activities they recommend for parents and preschoolers spending extra time at home.
