This week we are focusing on winter and the cold weather it brings. I have tried to select outdoor activities that can be easily modified for indoor use in case the weather prevents your little ones from going outside this week. If you are new here, make sure to check out the Themed Curriculum page for more details about how to use this curriculum.
As you go through this week’s activities make sure tag @kidslearningforlife to share the activities you do! Also, don’t forget to follow us on Facebook or Instagram!
