January Preschool Theme - free printable calendar, 4 weeks of activities, videos and books all about bugs

I really love the activities for this month because they're super hands on and will be a lot of fun, which is perfect if you're stuck inside during cold weather! A lot of these activities you can save for the next day too or for another day of fun.

We have a new conservatory here in our city that has ALL KINDS of insects and a huge butterfly exhibit, so that's going to be our field trip this month.

As per usual, I will update with pics as we go along, and feel free to follow us over on Instagram where I share our preschool creations!

    I just love how you lay it all out for us right there! So simple to follow along! We just went to the butterfly pavilion in Denver last week, so learning about bugs before would have been perfect! My son definitely did not want to touch the tarantula, and a huge butterfly landed right on my daughter's nose! It was so fun! Excited to see all your fun activities on Instagram this month!

      Seriously BEST play dough EVER. We love it, and I've tried several different ones, but that one is so soft and lasts for so long. Thank you for sharing it!!
