DECEMBER THEMES FOR PRESCHOOL
Here are the top themes for Preschool in December
Christmas Theme
Christmas is the most magical time of the year. So celebrate with your preschooler by learning to count with pine trees to practicing patterns while they decorate strands of lights. Listen to Christmas Songs for Kids while you create your own learning magic with these activities and wrap up the lesson with a book about Snowmen at Christmas.

Gingerbread Man Theme
This gingerbread man theme is the perfect way to practice sorting shapes using little gingerbread helpers or spelling out sight words using gumdrop buttons. Enjoy a silly story about the Gingerbread Man Getting Loose in School and sing along with the Kiboomers about 5 Gingerbread Men.

2D Shapes Theme
There is no shortage of fun ways to incorporate 2D shapes into your lesson plans. From lacing activities that practice fine motor skills to creating different shapes with pom poms, there is something every preschooler will love. Get up and shake your wiggles out and make different shapes with your body and finish up the lesson with a book, The Shape of Things.

Baking Theme
Tis the season for lots of baking, so why not take the fun outside of the kitchen? Mix up some fun counting cookies with the cookie monster and do some donut math, comparing which sweet treat has more sprinkles. Read all about how Froggy Bakes a Cake and make the song Cooking in the Kitchen the cherry on top of a sweet lesson.

Winter Snowman Theme
Take your learning indoors when it gets too cold outside. From snowmen letter matching puzzles to practicing tracing letters in not-so-cold snow. Continue the lesson with a story about The Snowy Day, and wrap things up with a Snow Man Freeze song to get your preschooler’s wiggles out and warmed up before heading outside.

Arctic Animals Theme
With winter upon us, there is no better time to add some arctic animal friends to your preschool lesson plans. Try out going fishing in a sensory tub to make matching letters fun or work on sounds with some polar pals. Dance along with your penguin pals doing the penguin dance and settle down with an arctic twist on a classic story, Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What do you Hear?

5 Senses Theme
Exploring the world and learning through all 5 senses has never been more fun. Try out test tasting different flavors and textures, or learn about the sense of sound by listening to the different sounds household items make, like things from the kitchen, the junk drawer, or the craft box. Activate your silly sense with the story, I Hear a Pickle, and dance along to the song, Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes.

Dinosaur Theme
This dinosaur preschool theme is dino-mite! Enjoying creating and counting playdough dino eggs and starting your own sight word dino stomp game. If they enjoy that, they’ll surely love The Dinosaur Dance, and a story about loving dinosaurs.
