One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in a few years of homeschool Preschool is that organization is KEY to a stress-free school experience. If I have to run around the house trying to find our various activities for the day, so much time is lost and chaos breaks out! So having all of our resources in one easy spot (like our homeschool basket) has been an absolute game-changer! In this post, I’d love to share with you how I put together my daughter’s 4-5 year old homeschool Preschool basket. I truly hope that this information will help as you navigate organizing your own homeschool resources and school year!
Choose Your Organizer
The first thing you need to consider is what type of organizer you’ll be needing. With LG being my only child to homeschool right now, using the basket shown above has been the simplest thing for me to use. It is able to hold all of her activities for 2 FULL WEEKS, and I can easily move it around the house if we choose to do our school work in another room or outside!
We found the basket that we use at Walmart for a great price! But I’ve also seen TONS of similar baskets at stores like Home Goods and TJMaxx! (As if we needed more reasons to browse those stores, right?? HA!)
Gather Your Resources
The next step in setting up your homeschool Preschool basket is to gather any resources you’ll need for school time. We use one theme for two weeks so using this basket allows me to keep all of our paper resources, binder and workbooks in one spot for that entire time. The resources we store in our homeschool basket include… (Click any of the links to learn more about those resources.)

Prep Your Plans
The final step of preparing your homeschool Preschool basket is get your lesson plans all put together! If you enjoy monthly/seasonal themed activities as much as we do, then I’ve done most of this planning for you already! Simply head to my favorite blog post that includes 12 months of FREE plans for you!
The plans included in that post are perfect for your 2-3 year olds! If you have an older Preschooler like I do, you may consider adding more of the resources that I shared above. If that’s the case, this time the time for you to get those activities planned in your planner!
