Be sure to read through all the Switzerland craft ideas & activities, gather or purchase any needed supplies (most are what you have around the house) and then decide which activities you\u2019d like to cover each day. Each activity has suggestions on how to modify it for younger and older children, but feel free to get creative and share your experience with us. <\/p>\n

The following activities works great as Switzerland lesson plans for preschool aged children, toddlers or elementary students. <\/p>\n

If you like a schedule, here is a suggested 3-day \u201cschedule\u201d to complete all the Switzerland classroom activities. It makes a great schedule for a Switzerland homeschool unit. <\/p>\n

          Books About Switzerland for Kids <\/h2>\n

          We found quite a few great books for kids about Switzerland. We\u2019ve included a few options that you can either purchase on Amazon via the links or you can reserve them at the library for a low-cost option. Grab a few options, even if the reading level is too high for your child, they can still look at the pictures <\/strong>and maps<\/strong> or have an adult read the book to younger children. <\/p>\n

          Do your kids enjoy watching YouTube? I know my son is always finding fun little videos. Here is a great video with beautiful scenes from all around Switzerland. Learn about how to make cheese, explore the mountains and go paragliding with Colleen and her family. <\/p>\n

          There are a few ads, but you can skip over those. <\/p>\n
