February is here and with it comes a new set of opportunities for preschoolers to learn and grow through play. At Lottie Dolls, we believe in the power of imaginative play to help children develop essential skills, so we’ve put together a list of fun and educational activities that kids and parents can enjoy together this February.
Craft a Heart Wreath: Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate the season of love than by making a heart wreath together? All you need are some paper hearts, a cardboard ring, and a stapler. Let your little one use their creativity to decorate the wreath with their favorite colors, stickers, and other embellishments.
Bake Some Sweet Treats: Baking is a fun activity that preschoolers can enjoy with their parents. Whether you’re making cookies, cupcakes, or a cake, kids love to help mix ingredients, measure out portions, and decorate their creations. Plus, they get to enjoy the sweet reward at the end!
Have a Picnic Indoors: Just because it’s cold outside doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a picnic! Set up a blanket and basket in your living room and have a picnic lunch complete with sandwiches, fruit, and juices. Don’t forget to bring your Lottie Dolls along for the fun!
Make a Bird Feeder: With the arrival of spring just around the corner, now is the perfect time to start thinking about the birds. Encourage your little ones to help you make a bird feeder out of a pine cone, peanut butter, and birdseed. Hang it outside and watch as the birds come to visit.
Play Dress-Up: Dress-up is a classic activity that preschoolers love, and it’s a great way to encourage their imagination and creativity. Gather up old costumes, scarves, hats, and other props, and let your little ones create their own adventures. Don’t forget to bring your Lottie Dolls into the mix, too!
Create a Sensory Bin: Sensory bins are a fun and educational activity that preschoolers love. Fill a large container with sand, water, or beans and add small toys, shells, or other objects for kids to explore. Sensory bins encourage children to use their senses and engage in imaginative play.
Have a Dance Party: Turn up the music and have a dance party! Dancing is a fun way for kids to get moving and use their energy. Let your little ones lead the way and see where their imagination takes them.
Play a Game of Simon Says: Simon Says is a classic game that’s perfect for preschoolers. Encourage your little ones to follow your commands, but beware—you never know when Simon might trick you!
Have a Scavenger Hunt: Scavenger hunts are a fun way for preschoolers to explore their environment and use their problem-solving skills. Create a list of items for kids to find and hide them around the house. The first one to find all the items wins!
Build a Fort: Building a fort is a fun and creative activity that preschoolers love. Gather up some pillows, blankets, and chairs, and let your little ones create their own secret hideaway.

activities for preschoolers have given you some inspiration for fun and educational playtime with your little ones. Remember, the most important thing is to have
