You can use several different occasions to teach preschoolers, about their world. Best of all children this age are excited to learn, so using these preschool themes can simply be a lot of fun. Here are some June themes for preschool-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Father\u2019s      Day-<\/strong>Second only to mom, preschoolers adore their fathers. They will be      delighted in learning more about dad and making him a gift for his special      day. You can use this theme up to Father\u2019s Day or simply focus on dads,      right before the big day!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Books to Read:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Just Me and My Dad<\/p>\n<p>by Mercer Meyer<\/p>\n<p>Daddy and Me<\/p>\n<p>by Karen Katz<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Father\u2019s Day Gift Idea:<\/strong> Back Massager-Dad will love this easy to make gift. However, keep in mind that this craft needs intensive adult supervision for most preschool age crafters.<\/p>\n<p><em>You will need:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>4 Large wooden macram\u00e9 beads or spools from used thread.<\/p>\n<p>Twine or cord \u2013 60\u201d long<\/p>\n<p>Scissors<\/p>\n<p>Ruler<\/p>\n<p>The first step is to measure and cut twine\/cord into two 30\u201d pieces. Have the child place the four spools or beads in a line leaving 3\u201d between each one. You may need to help them string one cord in and out of each spool. You do this by starting from the top left, go down then up the next spool\/bead, go down and up the third spool\/bead and down and up the 4th spool\/bead. Make sure that you leave approximately 3\u201d of twine\/cord in between each one. Next have them start on the right and do the same thing. This will give you a ladder affect to your spool\/beads. Tie a double knot on left end spool and right end spool, where two cords meet. Tie both ends together. This will form handles at both ends.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Special presentation-<\/strong>As part of the Father\u2019s Day theme, it can be good to have a few Dads come in and talk about what they do. Children will be thrilled to see their father in the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Father\u2019s Day Gift Idea:<\/strong> My Kids Walk All Over Me Shirt\/Apron-Dads will cherish this memento of their little ones feet.<\/p>\n<p><em>You will need:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Fabric Paint<\/p>\n<p>Paint Brush<\/p>\n<p>Children\u2019s Feet<\/p>\n<p>Fabric Pen (Black)<\/p>\n<p>T-Shirt (light color) \/ Apron<\/p>\n<p>Baby Wipes (to make cleaning feet easier)<\/p>\n<p>Card Board to place inside the shirt.<\/p>\n<p>If you are doing this with siblings you will need to assign each child, in the family a color. Then you will paint the feet of each child, with one particular color and have them walk over the shirt. It can be easier if you do only one foot print at a time. You can use baby wipes to wipe off extra paint from the child\u2019s foot. Remember that the child\u2019s whole foot print, does not need to be on the shirt. Once the shirt or apron is completely dry, you can use the fabric pen to write \u201cMy Kids Walk All over Me!\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Space-<\/strong>This      is another area that fascinates preschoolers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Books to Read:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s No Place Like Space: All About Our Solar System<\/p>\n<p>by Tish Rabe<\/p>\n<p>The Magic School Bus Lost In The Solar System<\/p>\n<p>by Joanna Cole, Bruce Degen<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Field Trip-<\/strong>If you are lucky enough to be located next to a planetarium then load up the preschoolers and take a trip. Experienced guides will hold the preschool age children\u2019s interest.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stars On the Wall-This fun craft will enchant the kids!<\/p>\n<p><em>You will need:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Toilet Paper Roll<\/p>\n<p>Black Construction Paper<\/p>\n<p>Tape<\/p>\n<p>Push Pin or Safety Pin<\/p>\n<p>Flash Light<\/p>\n<p>The first step is to tape a piece of black construction paper on to one end of the toilet paper tube. Then have an adult, using a push pin, make small holes in the black paper. Place the other end of the tube onto your flash light and shine it on the wall. This will make your wall look like the star filled sky.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June brings all sorts of possibilities for fun and education, to the preschool curriculum.
