Help with development plan 3YO

Hi all,

I spend 2-3 hours each morning with my daughter 3.5 years and I want to turn at least part of this this into a structured learning session to develop her literacy and numeracy. I have been looking online for a development plan to work through with session plans and PDF activities that we can do together but I'm really struggling. I can't believe that there isn't a website / product that provides lesson plans for 3-5 year olds I just can't find it. Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations to help? Any advice very gratefully received.

That's because they just need to play! That's how they learn at this age. You can incorporate counting into play if you particularly want to, or in cooking. Read lots of books to her. And follow her lead.

Oh for goodness sake!!
She'll spend many years in formal education (unless you plan to homeschool) leave the poor little more alone. There's no lesson plans because they don't need structured learning at this age they need to play and explore the world and to know that they are unconditionally loved by you.
Why are you so keen on structured learning? Even if it makes her appear "ahead" now, the advantage will soon be lost and you risk turning her off learning all together.
