Whether you are looking for something to entertain your preschooler, during the lazy days of summer, or you need a theme for a preschool that is still in session, there are lots of ideas that will work well. Preschoolers are eager to learn and these themes will have them clamoring for more!\u00a0 Here are some preschool themes for June-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Circus-<\/strong>Who      doesn\u2019t love the circus? Preschoolers are especially fascinated by the      circus. Best of all if you choose to focus on a circus theme, there are      lots of decorations to set the tone. Here are some other ideas to help you      communicate the joy of the circus to preschoolers in your life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Books to Read:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>See the Circus (Lift the Flap Series)<\/p>\n<p>by H. A. Rey<\/p>\n<p>If I Ran the Circus (Classic Seuss)<\/p>\n<p>by Theodor Geisel &#8211; Dr. Seuss<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Field Trip-<\/strong>The ultimate field trip would be a matinee performance of the circus. Of course this will be only possible if there is a circus nearby.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Animal Cages-<\/strong>This fun craft can inspire the kids to create their own circus.<\/p>\n<p><em>You will need:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Cereal Boxes (all sizes)<\/p>\n<p>Paint<\/p>\n<p>Knife and\/or Scissors<\/p>\n<p>Straw<\/p>\n<p>Glue<\/p>\n<p>Plastic Animals<\/p>\n<p>The first step is for adults only. An adult should cut out a rectangle on both sides of the cereal box. The children can then paint the cages boxes any color they choose. Encourage them to use bright colors like typical circus cages. You then have them glue in some straw, to make a cozy cage and add the plastic animals.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ring Masters Megaphone-<\/strong>This fun craft is great to take outside when it is done. A dress up top hat and a megaphone allows the children to pretend to be the ringmaster.<\/p>\n<p><em>You will need:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Construction Paper<\/p>\n<p>Tape\/Stapler<\/p>\n<p>Markers and Stickers<\/p>\n<p>Start by having each child decorate their paper, with bright and cherry colors. Once they are done you may have to help them roll the paper into megaphone shape, and then tape or staple it in place.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Craft: <\/strong>Clown Shoes-Preschoolers will be delighted with this silly craft.<\/p>\n<p><em>You will need:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Two shoe boxes per child w\/ lid<\/p>\n<p>Scissors<\/p>\n<p>Markers<\/p>\n<p>Paint<\/p>\n<p>Stickers<\/p>\n<p>Masking Tape (and\/or hot glue)<\/p>\n<p>Start by cutting a small hole into both shoe box lids. Keep in mind that this hole needs to be big enough for the child\u2019s foot to slide in, but not to big that they will step out of the lid. The next step is to tape (and\/or hot glue) the lid to the bottom of the box. Once this is done can let the child decorate the box with paint, markers, and stickers of their choice. Once dry have the child slide their foot into the shoe and act like a clown.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Summer-<\/strong>With      the arrival of June, summer can come front and center in the preschool      curriculum. While this theme focuses on summer activities you can also      incorporate learning about all of the seasons. Since the weather is      better, at this time of year, in most places, it can be fun to take      preschoolers outside to experience these and other activities. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Books to Read:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Relatives Came<\/p>\n<p>By Cynthia Rylant<\/p>\n<p>The Summer Solstice<\/p>\n<p>By Ellen Jackson<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Field Trip-<\/strong>A great summer themed field trip would be to visit a local swimming pool. Many community pools offer special programs for preschoolers.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Activities-This can be a great time to get preschoolers to be more active. Best of all this requires little more then gathering equipment and setting up stations. Since summer is outdoor time, you can have the children rotate from one station to another. Possible stations include:<\/p>\n<p>Jumping rope<\/p>\n<p>Playing Hopscotch<\/p>\n<p>Bouncing balls<\/p>\n<p>Running under a large parachute<\/p>\n<p>Whatever activities are appropriate for the preschoolers involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are looking for fun things to do with your preschooler in June, there is no limit as to what themes you can use.
