Whether you send your child to preschool or wait for kindergarten, it’s never too early to start working with some fun and creative summer preschool worksheets to help them get ready for their newest journey of making new friends and learning an abundance of cool things. You can also turn these printables into a preschool-to-kindergarten summer packet pdf for those sweet babies that are moving from preschool to kindergarten.
You might think seriously. They are four and five years old. I know and I hear ya. But summer worksheets for kids are supposed to be fun and kept light for your kids to enjoy. We don’t give up on playtime. Let them get outside and savor those hot summer days and nights because they can learn a lot through play.
Some other important reasons for summer learning for preschoolers and kindergarteners are summer learning keeps them engaged and they can go at their own pace. Your kids can work on their preschool summer packet at their own pace and decide what they want to work on from day to day.
Summer printables for preschoolers can help keep the routine going, build confidence, and help them with independence.
I’m sharing some worksheets for both preschoolers and kindergarteners they will all enjoy not just for summer but during any school break and road trips too.
If you’ve been around for a bit then you know our son goes to an accredited Montessori School, there’s no homework or test which I love. So I’m preparing for school break with these same summer activity printables.

Benefits Of Summer Preschool Worksheets
There are so many wonderful benefits of preschool summer printables/worksheets such as improving fine motor skills, strengthening their cognitive abilities, and working on communication and language skills.
They also help prepare them for kindergarten by practicing the basics like shapes, colors, and numbers and helping them develop reading and writing skills by tracing letters and letter recognition.
How to make the most out of your worksheets:
Have fun with your worksheets and involve your kids in choosing what activities they want to do for the day. If you would like and feel it will work for your child, create a reward system to keep them excited about doing their worksheets.
You will laminate the worksheets so you can use them indoors or outdoors. Take them to restaurants, on planes, to grandma’s house, or bring them along on road trips. If you homeschool, these will make a great addition to your learning material.
