Once upon a time… is a familiar beginning to a fairy tale and we will immerse ourselves in these fun stories for this theme. Books are so much fun to read and having regular story time is important for young minds. This is the best theme to start introducing very basic concepts of print and order of a story. If your kids love books, they are going to love this theme!
NOTE: Some of the activity links go straight to a pin on Pinterest instead of a blog page. Read the description of the pin for the activity instructions. If you are new here, make sure to check out the Themed Curriculum page for more details about how to use this curriculum. Looking for a different theme? Check out all of our themes here.
