Dramatic Play If you are planning your toddler and preschool April themes, I’ve made it easier for you by putting my favorite resources in one spot! 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! I will be sharing the details of each week in my free newsletters. Click here to sign up!
