If you are a Charlotte Mason homeschooler, and even if you are not, there is a book available for free today over at Homeschool Freebie of the Day that is lots of fun to use with preschool children. This is an older book that gives lessons in writing, arithmatic and general knowledge (based on the daily life in the era it was written), in bite sized portions. There are nursery rhymes and songs included, which allow for lessons in various subjects. It works well in a notebooking format because you can spend 'lap time' with your child going over the general knowledge stuff, and then notebook the writing and arithmatic. And who knows where you'll wander off to from there! =) The written lessons are in cursive so you may want to use this for visual exposure only, and then make the child's copywork be in manuscript. But I like the fact that the math portion involves kinesthetic activites suggested right in the lesson.
This is only available free for a limited time so click on over there and scroll down the page to find The Nursery Lesson Book.
God Bless!
