  • a special language activity aimed at teaching and reinforcing vocabulary, 
  • a playdough based activity with printable resources to help develop fine motor control and hand strength while learning about the theme, 
  • a craft activity to help encourage creativity or following instructions (based on the type of craft!) With templates where necessary.

The selection will vary each month depending on the theme and will help you build a broad and balanced curriculum. Each activity will come with printable resources or templates as necessary.
