March can provide lots of inspiration to teach the young minds in your care. These ideas can be fun to do in a preschool or day care setting, or just at home one on one with your preschooler. Eager young minds and hands will be excited to tackle these projects, hear these books, and of course eat up the treats!\u00a0 Here are some March themes for preschool-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Easter-<\/strong>Preschool      kids love celebrating Easter. All of these activities make a great theme      for daily fun, leading up to Easter, or they can be used for an Easter      party.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Books to Read<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Best Thing about Easter<\/p>\n<p>By Christine H. Tangvald<\/p>\n<p>The Night before Easter<\/p>\n<p>By Natasha Wing<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Big Egg<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>You will need:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Balloon<\/p>\n<p>Newspaper<\/p>\n<p>Glue<\/p>\n<p>Water<\/p>\n<p>Bowl<\/p>\n<p>Safety Pin<\/p>\n<p>Paints of your choice<\/p>\n<p>Start by covering the area with newspaper. In the bowl you will need to mix glue and some water to make a thin sticky liquid. (If you have liquid starch this works well too.) Tear more newspaper into strips and set a side. Blow up the balloon so that it is egg shaped. Once the egg is securely tied have the child dip single slips of newspaper into the glue\/water mixture and then place all around their egg. Once they have done this they have to wait till the egg balloon has dried. After it has dried they can paint the egg to look like an Easter egg. When the Easter egg paint has dried, have an adult take the safety pin and pop the balloon inside. Each child will now have a very big egg!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Handprint Bunny<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>You will need:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Brown Paint<\/p>\n<p>Light Color Paper<\/p>\n<p>Cotton Balls<\/p>\n<p>Paint Brush<\/p>\n<p>Start by painting the child\u2019s hand with brown paint, and then have the child hold their fingers together with their thumb sticking up. Press the child\u2019s palm onto the paper, once you lift the child\u2019s hand you will see a bunny shape laying in the grass. Have the child add a cotton ball to the end of the palm and the bunny sill start to come to life!<\/p>\n<p>*Optional-You can add a googly eye to the bunny along with some Easter grass glued around the bunny handprint.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chick Feed-<\/strong>Preschooler will love the humor of thinking they are eating \u201cchick feed\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><em>You will need:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>M&amp;M\u2019s (pastel color)<\/p>\n<p>Pretzel Sticks<\/p>\n<p>Marshmallows (can use the colored ones)<\/p>\n<p>Honey Nut Cheerio\u2019s<\/p>\n<p>Raisins<\/p>\n<p>To make this you simply mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl. You can serve this out of a big bowl in cups or divided it all up into zip lock bags (You can get Easter ones at local stores) and give to children in their Easter Baskets.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Musical      Instrument theme-<\/strong>Children this age will love the idea of making and      playing their own instruments. This is a great way to introduce children      to music and you may be surprised at just how deeply their interest runs. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Books to Read<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Philadelphia Chickens<\/p>\n<p>By Sandra Boynton<\/p>\n<p>Carnival of the Animals: By Saint-Saens (Classical Music for Kids)<\/p>\n<p>By Saint-Saens<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Homemade Harmonica\/Flute<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>You will need:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Toilet Paper Roll<\/p>\n<p>Wax Paper<\/p>\n<p>Rubber Band<\/p>\n<p>Pencil<\/p>\n<p>Crayons or Markers<\/p>\n<p>Start by having the child color the paper roll as they wish. Then have an adult help poke 3 or 4 holes in the roll with a pencil. Cut a 4 inch square of wax paper and help the child secure the wax paper over the end of the paper roll with a rubber band. They can now hum away in their new harmonica flute.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bottle Shakers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>You will need:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Soda Bottle (16 to 24 oz)<\/p>\n<p>Rice, Dried Beans or Un-popped Popcorn<\/p>\n<p>Super Glue<\/p>\n<p>Tape<\/p>\n<p>Start by having the child fill the bottle about \u00bc or \u00bd full with the dried items. Then have an adult help super glue the lid closed and tape over to be double sure it will not come off. You can also add ribbon to make the inside of the bottle look pretty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the arrival of spring come lots of possibilities when it comes to preschool themes.
