Over the years I’ve shared tons and tons of preschool activities. If you’re new to this website it can be a bit overwhelming to look back through all of the content, so I try to create different ways to simplify the search process for you based on your needs.
For those looking for complete planning guides to use as you plan thematic units for preschool classrooms, I recommend checking out our series of preschool planning guides. There are many for our most popular preschool themes, and I’m constantly adding new ones.
For those looking for an activity to do each day or a few thematic activity suggestions to try from time to time I’ve compiled a set of free printable kids’ activity calendars.
On this page you’ll find a quick summary of the topics we focus on in each monthly activity calendar as well as links to the individual monthly pages. Each monthly page includes a link to the free printable calendar, brief summaries and links to each individual activity, and additional resources to dive further into each topic.
This page will be updated throughout 2019 as I add the new activity calendar page for each month.
