December is a beautiful, magical time of year, but for parents of toddlers, it can also be a little bit stressful. Between the holiday shopping, the decorating, and the endless to-do lists, your hands are completely full. To make matters trickier, the cold winter weather means your energetic toddler is stuck indoors for most of the day.
When kids are cooped up inside, they get bored quickly. You want to do fun, festive activities with them to celebrate the season, but who has the time to scroll through Pinterest for hours trying to find a good winter craft?
You need simple, low-prep, and screen-free activities that keep your toddler learning and playing happily while you tackle your holiday checklist.
A printable toddler curriculum is a complete lifesaver for busy parents and teachers. Instead of waking up and wondering what to do with your child today, everything is already mapped out for you in a simple calendar format!
Our December Toddler Curriculum is specifically designed for tot school homeschool and preschool classrooms. It breaks down early learning into fun, daily bite-sized activities that only take a few minutes to set up. You don't need a teaching degree or a perfectly organized playroom—just a printer, some basic household supplies, and a little bit of holiday spirit!
To keep your toddler excited all month long, this curriculum is divided into four distinct, festive weekly themes. Each day covers important developmental areas including Literacy, Math, Fine Motor, Socio-Emotional, Gross Motor, Science, Social Studies, and Craft & Food!
Here is what your month of learning looks like:
-
Week 1: Winter Theme: Celebrate the chilly weather with fun activities centered around snow, warm winter clothing, and indoor gross motor games.
-
Week 2: Christmas Theme: Get into the holiday spirit with festive counting games, ornament crafts, and Christmas tree activities.
-
Week 3: Holiday Around The World: Expand your little one's horizons by exploring different global celebrations and traditions.
-
Week 4: Gingerbread Theme: A super sweet week featuring a cute gingerbread house graphic, where kids will play with gingerbread cookies, practice counting gumdrops, and build with blocks.
