Ideas for Toddler and Preschool May Themes
👉🏼Scroll down to find out what others are doing during the month of May! I’ve provided links to even more ideas! Planning for May? I’ve put together this toddler and preschool May themes resource that includes not only what we will be doing, but ideas from other teachers, too. Teachers can use these in the classroom and parents can add them to their children’s home activities. We’ve added activities for your centers, for circle time, activities that build specific skills, music … and much more. Happy planning! Weeks 2 and 3: Ocean and Beach This year (2024) we are doing: Weeks 1 and 2: Pets and Vets/Mother’s Day Weeks 3 and 4: Ocean and Beach I will be sharing the details of this year in my free newsletters.
