Toddler Playschool: M is for My 5 Senses {free printable}

When looking at the letter M for this week's lesson plan printable, I decided to go with a theme that would allow a wide variety of exploration.  For this week, that equivocated to creating a lesson plan that allowed toddlers to explore their five senses.  Each day this week focuses on one of the five senses.

 

 

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.

The Skunk Song

Well, I stuck my head in a little skunk's hole

And the little skunk said, "Well, bless my soul!

Take it out! Take it out! Take it out! Take it out!

Remove it!"

Psssssttt.... I removed it too late!
