September Preschool Themes
Whether you are teaching preschool in a classroom, home daycare, or homeschool there are lots of classic September preschool themes you can use for lesson planning!
BACK TO SCHOOL
The most classic theme of all! While this year may be a bit different for some, preschoolers love this theme. They get to know their teachers, classmates, and do school-themed activities. My kids always love making crafts about busses, pencils, apples, and more! There are so many activities you can do with a pack to school theme. There are some of our favorite ones:
FALL
Fall is a classic preschool theme to start in September. We usually spend 2 weeks on this theme starting the last week of September and continue into October. I love fall so we do all kinds of fun fall-themed activities. We count pumpkins, sort leaves, paint with apples, and some much more! There are millions of ways to incorporate learning into a fall theme! It’s my favorite!
APPLES
Apples are another classic theme to do with kids in September. While this can easily be combined with the Fall theme I like to turn it into its own unit. We learn about the life cycle of apple trees, do science experiments with apples, and create lots of art with them too! My preschooler’s really love when we do a taste test during our apple unit. They get to taste and smell a variety of different kinds of apples. There are so many fun ways to learn with apples! Here are a few more of our favorite apple activities:
ALL ABOUT ME
The All About Me theme is perfect for this time of year because it’s a great way for children to get to know themselves and others. Back to school brings new experiences and nervousness but learn about themselves and their new peers is a perfect way to start off the new school year.
PIRATES
Not what you were expecting when you think of September preschool themes? 😉 Talk Like a Pirate day fall during the month of September and my kids always love celebrating it by talking like a pirate and doing pirate-themed activities. You can’t go wrong with a pirate theme!
FIVE SENSES
This is another great theme to do in September with kids. They can explore the environment around them using their senses and develop a deeper connection to their surroundings and friends. It’s fun for them to learn how their senses work and explore sounds, tastes, and touch! We like to check out books from the library on how our eyes work and taste test new foods and spices!
