If he is advanced why not just start him in the kindergarden level? That's what my parents did with me. I see nothing wrong with being ahead. It's one of the nice things about homeschooling, nobody can tell you or your child to slow down! I was reading by the time I should have been in kindergarden and it has only ever helped me.

Have him do activities that are high level thinking activities. Maybe read a story, don't give the ending and have him predict what will happen. Or read the whole story, and then have him write an alternate ending. Write poems, songs, or stories. Read a story and then act it out. Buy a book of home science experiments. Teach sign language to go along with items. Learn about different countries like Russia and then read a book from that country, do an art project from that country, teach him a few words from that country.
High level thinking activities will benefit him the most!

I taught my son math through cooking and baking. Fractions are easier to learn when it is taught with a "hands on" approach. Have your son, when he is ready, figure out how to cut a recipe in half, fourths, etc. It works the other way, too, by having the child multiply the recipe.
If he is interested in the outdoors, you can use Nature as a science tool, in many ways.
History can be found in many ways. Go to your local library and find history books that will hold his interest. You can also teach history through "dress up" activities.
Look on-line for your local home-schooling association. There are more and more parents home-schooling and helping each other out.

I have an advanced three year old and we just follow what is on the dept of education website for our state. We started looking at the kindergarten requirements, marked off what she could already do and go from there. We are just using a little of this and a little of that this year but I think we are going to use lifepacs for the fall and expand upon those when I feel the need.
