Toddler Activity Schedule for November 2019

The Reggio Emilia Approach lets children guide the learning --our next KayCare theme is inspired by many things. For one, my own daughter is smelling 👃everything lately LOL. Next, there have been a lot of birds outside to listen to 👂. And finally, all the KayCare kids love “If you’re Happy and You Know it” and are close to following the steps.

Therefore, our monthly theme for November will be:

🏃🏽‍♀️🖐🏽OUR BODY & SENSES 👀👅

I will create smelling jars. We'll have new tastes at snack time 🥗. We will work on identifying body parts 🦶🏻by singing songs 🎶. We’ll read books 📚 like “Eyes, Nose Fingers and Toes”. We will take care of baby dolls and cook with toy food in the play kitchen. We will continue to slide and swing and run and play outside. And we will continue to work on colors 🖍 and shapes ⭕️ with multi-sensory activities.
