Everyone can carry something to wave in the air like the palm leaves. Everyone can walk through the whole house 3 times. While you walk wave and say or sing "Hosanna to the King!"

After your parade let your preschooler draw what he or she thinks that special day would have looked like when Jesus came into town.
