It can be downloaded from files section of the Preschool e-mail loop on Yahoo known as http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SLPreschool/. To get a copy of the schedule, you must currently join this loop, which is a wonderful support community for homeschool users of the Sonlight; PreK curriculum.

Alphabet Soup tends to have fingerplays, poems, activities and crafts, first school and DLTK have crafts, actvities and coloring pages, Kinderstart is usually a link list, enchanted learning sometimes requires membership and has crafts and coloring pages, preschool education is mostly crafts with some songs and fingerplays. Links to Family Fun Magazine are usually just a set of crafts listed in one article; or one craft/activity per link. They really do not have indexes; but you may find other cool ideas (in addition to the ones linked) by searching the actual sight.
