• Preschool Teacher - Stormie's pages.  Has schedule of preschool activities for a whole year.  Very good!
• Alphabet Soup

Infant:

• Do school during the baby's nap time as much as possible.  If the baby sleeps two hours a day, the math, and maybe some of the writing can be done during this time.

Crawling baby:

• Let the baby play in a playpen.  Rotate the toys so there are different toys each time the baby is in there.
• If you have an exersaucer,  (like a stationary walker) that could be helpful at times too.
• Again do school while the baby is sleeping if possible.

Toddler/Preschooler:

• If you have a child-proof room that is in a place where you can see into easy, set up a play room for the child.  Play children's music in there while the child plays.  When the child is old enough to play by themselves in their room, let them.
• When the child is old enough, you can let them sit in their highchair or at the table in a booster chair and let them color.
• My youngest also liked to do flash cards.  (Even when she was two years old, she enjoyed this -- not to learn, just to play and copy big sister) Here are instructions for games and flash cards that I made for my preschooler, and some ideas of how to use them: Letter and Number Activities
  
• Let the child have reading time just like the big kids.  Start out with just a few minutes and have them look at picture books, and gradually work up the time.  Even babies can enjoy having a reading time.  When the child is old enough to handle tape players, have an older family member (maybe even grandma or grandpa) read books unto a tape, and the child can look at the book and listen to the tape during times when another family member is unable to read to them.
• Let them play or do crafts with:
• play dough
• paint with water books
• coloring books
• construction paper and glue sticks (if old enough)
• age appropriate puzzles
• books
• sticker books to put stickers in
• Do you have any math manipulatives or other learning toys that might be interesting to a toddler?  If so let them play with them.  Ideas for a child who does not put things in their mouth:

Remember this is just for play -- not for formal learning.
• Base ten blocks
• dominos
• cuisenaire rods
• scales
• magnets  (letters, numbers, and various other magnets)
• pattern blocks
• Tangrams puzzles
• the list can go on and on . . .

• Work in a room the preschooler is not in.  Turn a fan on (or other device to make white noise) if necessary to make white noise to cover the other noises.
• Do school work while the preschooler is sleeping.  (Ex read late at night after the younger one is in bed, and/or do math before the younger one wakes up.)  There are some homeschoolers that are night owls and work best while everyone is sleeping.  If you have a student that is like this, don't be afraid to allow it.
• If all else fails, wear ear plugs!
