It is here, FINALLY!! Seriously though, I feel like I’ve finished this workbook just in time. I want to start this with Greyson on September 1st, and well, September 1st is just a few days away!
Today I am sharing a FREE 32-page Preschool Daily Learning workbook. It will only take a couple of minutes to complete everyday but the learning and concept reinforcements will be amazing. This workbook will take you all the way until the last day of August 2015!
I am going to walk you through the pages now.
First up we have the starting page (after the cover). This page is meant to be laminated and completed everyday. If you are using a 3-ring binder to keep your workbook in, you can just use a sheet protector instead of laminating! Greyson will use crayola washable makers to fill this out. They are really easy to wipe clean, they come in a ton of different colors, and they are a lot less expensive then the dry erase or the wet erase markers. Plus- seriously 64 brightly colored WASHABLE markers? Awesomeness.
Lets chat about the sections numbered above.
Number 1: Greyson will circle what day it is. Then we can talk about yesterday and tomorrow. I am excited for this. He has absolutely no concept of days, morning vs. evening etc. I know that this will really help him grasp the concept of days of the week and “time” in general.
Number 2: I will have him print the month. He will absolutely not get this right away especially starting with the month of S-E-P-T-E-M-B-E-R, but it is good practice, and it will be great for letter recognition. I wont have the month printed out for him, so he will have to listen to me as I spell the month and he writes it down.
Numbers 3-4 I will have him write the Day NUMBER, (Example for September 1st he will write the number 1), and then write the year (2014).
Number 5- Let’s start learning how to tell time, correctly! Greyson can read digital clocks, but it sounds like this. “Mommy, it is seven-five-three!!” So we are going to start learning how to say the time & read the time properly.
Number 6- We are taking the whole time concept to another level, here. I will help Greyson (likely for the whole year) to take the time from the digital clock and properly draw the time on the analog clock. You can see on the image below that there are two circles on the inside of the clock. A pink one and a blue/teal one. Note: Those colors correspond to the digital clock lines above. These circles are meant to help your little one know how far to draw their arrows, and also reinforce what size arrow represents the hour versus minute hand.
Yowza- that was just for the first page! 🙂
On the back of the first page is the I Can Draw page. I included this because I am a horrible artist, and completely envy anybody who can even kinda-sorta draw. Therefore, I would like to foster any artsy abilities that Greyson may have. **Here’s to hoping he takes after his father is in this category, Scott can draw anything…and yes I am always in complete awe and totally jealous at the same time!
I plan on asking Greyson to draw his favorite thing that happened from the day prior. *Reinforcing the concept of days of the week / time!
Next up:
Every month has their own page. Here your child can trace the number of the current day. I will have Greyson count the numbers up until the current day. Also below the calendar for every month your little one can find the correct number / date. They can color in the small image, put and X on top of it, place a sticker on it….etc.
On the back of the calendar you’ll see I have included some weather charting! Greyson will see what image best represents the current weather and fill in the rectangle that best fits. He will also get a little practice writing when he traces the month word at the top of the page.
Once we have completed a full month of weather charting, we will flip to our yearly weather tracking pages.
For Graph the year (most) Greyson will place a star sticker in the box that matches the weather we had the MOST of for that month
For Graph the year (least) Greyson will place a star sticker in the box that matches the weather we had the LEAST of for that month
Are you still with me? We are almost done, promise!
Next we have the monthly handwriting practice sheets. I am looking forward to seeing how Greyson’s writing of his name progresses throughout the year.
NOTE: Workbooks with your child’s name printed at the top of this page is just for those who choose to have their’s customized! If you do not have yours customized, the name will not be shown at the top but instead there will be a black line for you to write your child’s name on.
You’ve made it through! Now onto the download options!

Wow what a great tool. I planned to work on these skills daily with my daughter in the upcoming year. I will print these out to help with that. Thank you. I especially love the graphs.
Pinned to my curriculum board.
Lindsay Butler says
Fantastic! I am so happy you are going to use it with your daughter.
I am excited about the graphing too, I think it is a great introduction to math concepts!
Patricia says
Wow! This is great! Thanks so much for this material. My boy was so excited to start working on it.
Selena @ Look! We're Learning! says
What an adorable learning notebook! We have three that have already done preK, but I’ll definitely pin this for our toddler to use in a couple of years. 🙂
Thanks for linking up with Family Fun Friday!

Shayla says
I love this! Thanks so much!!! On the “I Can Draw” page, did you laminate it also or do you give a new page everyday?
Lindsay Butler says
Thank you!
The I Can Draw page is laminated, I just put it on the back of the weekday / day / time page and laminated them together!
Cass@frugalfamily says
Thanks for joining in with this week’s parenting pin it party!
Michelle @ Moms Are Frugal says
I love this workbook. It is really has the entire checklist that I want to use working with my preschooler. Thanks for taking the time to create and share with the rest of us “unartsy” people!
Lindsay Butler says
Thank you so much, Michelle!
I am thrilled that you like it and will be using it!
Arline Erven says
Thanks for posting this. However, it would be helpful if the calendars were blank. I printed the whole book, not realizing that the calendars won’t be able to be used next year or the one after that. Just an idea. Thanks again.
Christen says
Do you have an updated workbook. I’d love to use it for my preschooler this year. Just found your blog and I’m loving it already. Thanks!!!!
Zina White says
I love it!
Betzy says
PLEASSE Can I take some information OR SAMPLES about tests on 3 years of
prekinder program?. YHANKS SO MUCH!
Amy says
This is amazing! What age would this be geared more towards? My youngest son will be 3 in Oct. and I watch a little girl who will also be 3 in Oct. I’d like to start a more structured preschool time with them soon and have been trying to find “workbooks” for them. Just looking at this, I don’t think they’d be ready right now but I’d LOVE to save this and try maybe when they’re 4?
Lindsay Butler says
Thank You!
3 is a little young for this. I think 4 – 5 is the sweet spot for the daily learning workbook.
Check out my Daily Weather Tracker. I think this is better suited for a 3 year old- plus it is really fun!
