Welcome to our All About Me + My Body Preschool Theme Planning post and welcome to Mac-n-Taters. If you are new here and you are interested in our preschool units, you can check out our entire curriculum on our Preschool Landing page. You will be able to find all the information you need to get started with us as well as find all our preschool themes in one place.
We are incredibly excited to share our first official unit for our 2017-2018 school year.
This will be a 20 day (4 week unit). Week one we will be celebrating our children and all of the things that make them unique. Weeks 2-4 will be spent looking at all of the different body parts and organs that make up our bodies. While each activity is only listed on our calendar once, feel free to repeat activities with your child as you see fit.
In the download below you will find book suggestions, Bible learning ideas, plus 20 days of activities that you can use to help teaching your child about the body. Directions or links to directions are provided right in the square for the activity so you have it one easy to find location. Please be sure to read all of the unit suggestions and weekly insights provided to get a better feel for where we will be going with our learning each week.
We are excited to offer some extra learning ideas for the little tots in your life. If your little one is anything like our little man, you probably have a little tot wanting to be involved in all of the activities just like your older children. I personally try to include Little Man in all of our activities, but sometimes an activity just isn't something that he is able to do so I want to make sure I have some activities that he can do during those times so he can feel included as well. I added these to the end of the download below.
Pinterest is a fantastic resource for gathering ideas. Each of our themes can be found towards the bottom of our Pinterest page. You can check out all the wonderful inspiration for this unit on our All About Me/My Body Board
We also will be using activities from our My Body Preschool Learning Activities pack to supplement our instruction and learning.
We will be setting up a hospital/doctor dramatic play center and using items from our Dramatic Play Center Pack.
You can find a comprehensive supply list of things that we use and love on our homeschool supply list post; however, here are some of the more specific items not listed that you may find helpful as you play your way through the theme. These are affiliate links for your convenience. There is no extra cost to you, but if you purchase from my link I receive a small commission which helps bring more learning activities to the blog.

We are also excited to announce our brand new Facebook group where we can talk all things tot school, preschool and curriculum and help and encourage one another on our journey through home tot school and preschool and parenting a toddler and preschooler. We will be sharing a look into our daily activities in the group as well as answering any questions you may have along the way. There may even be some group only freebies in the future that you will not want to miss. Hop over and join us!!!
