We’re taking a little break from exploring the alphabet in our Toddler Playschool. This week, we are focusing on winter-themed activities for toddlers. All of the activities that we’re doing are suitable for toddlers through early elementary students. I planned them because I’ve got both kiddos home and want to keep them busy. There are so many fun books about winter that can be used for inspiration for this time of year!
This curriculum is ideal for 2-3 year olds. We’ll be reinforcing colors and shapes and introducing letters and numbers. There will also be exploration of different themes each week as we proceed through the alphabet. It provides a flexible framework of activity ideas that can used in the home or classroom.

5 Little Snowflakes
One little snowflake with nothing to do,
Along came another and
Then there were two.
Two little snowflakes laughing with me,
Along came another and
Then there were three.
Three little snowflakes looking for some more,
Along came another and
Then there were four.

Four little snowflakes dancing a jive,
Along came another and
Then there were five.

Then there were none.
