January Themes

As I am trying to find out what themes to teach my 2 year olds in January, I am coming across a few ideas:



winter
snowman
mittens, and many more that will come to me little by little.

but I need to make this practical and easy for my little ones.
Most of my techings, for the school I work at, have to be through play.
So here is one idea, I can teach them winter words (vocabulary)
using a felt board, which we don't have either.
Hopefullly I can go buy a big piece of felt tomorrow to put it somewhere in my classroom,
or find a big board to glue it on.  Anyways...
I can teach them winter words using this paper doll with some winter clothes that I found here.

I also found a Toddler Theme Calendar that I do plan to follow as possible.

Stepbystepp has some really nice ideas for January themes.

How about a Gingerbread theme for this month also, from Pamshouse.

HubbardCupboard has the themes specifically for age 2, which will help me a lot.

and 123child has very nice ideas and pictures for winter and January themes also.

Well, from all this resources that I found, lets see what fun activities I can do

and record in pictures with my little ones.

Thanks for reading my blog :)

  2. You could take on the genaric theme of "SNOW" and encompass many of the topics too =) I like adding hibernation and how animals stay warm and change in the winter to January too!
