I am always looking for ideas for fun activities for my preschooler. They are in a phase where they are endlessly curious, independent and have a beautiful imagination. They want to be like the big kids but aren’t always quite there! And at this incredibly special stage of life, there is nothing my preschooler loves more than being silly.
When we were on vacation we got a kid’s meal at Chick-fil-a. The toy they had in the meal was a Mad-Libs. This blast from the past brought back so many fun memories and I was so excited to try this activity with my preschooler! He loves stories and was really excited too! We tried to make it work… we really did, but trying to explain what an adjective, noun and verb ending in ing were to my barely 3 year old was truly a fruitless effort. He could easily come up with simpler things like body part, color and animals though and regardless of the not quite getting it, he became obsessed with Mad Libs!
With this new obsession, I decided to create him some of his own preschool appropriate Mad Libs style stories that we could do together. It was a huge hit. He loved the silly stories and we had so much fun coming up with the words to fill in the blanks! And what better to fill your time with than a fun, creative, and even educational activity! Since so many of our readers have small children like us, I thought I had to share!

Candace says
Everytime I try to print this, it freezes my computer. Anyone else have this issue?
Kimber says
Hi Candace- I have not had any one else tell me this but I can try to add an alternate file type over the next few days and maybe that will work better. I will leave you another comment when I have it done so you will be notified.
Michelle says
Hi. I love these mad libs. But I’m unable to print it! It won’t load. Do you have a simpler version, in another file format?
shelby says
Hi! Do you have any others that we could print? I like these, but need a few more stories for my class. Also, could you change the spelling mistakes on your first story? it begins with, “Every moring” and ends with, “that he know tomorrow will be another great day!” I’d like to print those to send home with the parents and wouldn’t want to send them home with spelling errors.
Thanks in advance.
