CALLING ALL HOMESCHOOLERS!!!!!
This year I plan on doing a small project.. Although I will not be homeschooling my children in the future, because preschool is so expensive, I want to do preschool homeschooling. So after labor day during that week, I have yet to pick a day I am going to start with my son Guy who will be 4 in November. I would wait until next year, but he begs and begs for me to do school with him.
I am not going to make it an all day event as he is still very young, but I would love to do activities, and such to help him learn his letters and all of that. So with this I am calling on all of you to help me out here. Leave some comments with some creative advice for homeschooling a preschooler. I have a complete preschool workbook, another preschool workbook and some things that I have found online. I also have a complete library which works with age groups and things. I have an extensive collection of children's books as well which I plan to use along with coloring and crafts.
Any help will be Great help. So please chime on in!!!! :-)
And thank you in advance for your help!

Sounds like you are already off to a good start. At four, if he is ready and willing, I would just do colors, shapes, letters, numbers, season, simple Bible stories and READ, READ, READ!!! Although I wouldn't be too concerned with writing, there are fun pre-writing exercise like drawing a line between two lines, etc. Lacing cards is an excellent activity, especially for boys who usually need to develop fine motor skills. Enchanted Learning website is very low cost and has excellent printouts you can use!! Best of luck to you. I know you will enjoy it.
I do home preschool with my 2 year olds, we just do activities, usually a theme for the week and we do small crafts and games and songs. We did zoo animals las t week and they are doing so well. They both are counting to 5 and know the days of the week because we do that and weather everyday. I blog about what I am doing and you are welcome to come visit and see what we are doing. We mostly do stuff after breakfast and then a couple more times during the day. I also do cooking stuff too. I am not a professional but you are welcome to my ideas.

Letters of the day, colors of the week, Lapbooking (check out live and learn press) - and anything fun...
If you were going to do Red for the color of the week, you'd read books about clifford the big red dog, or fire engines etc.
Really, you can do just about anything. The other two comments have fabulous things in them. Most of all.... have fun!!!
