This week following our theme for All About Me last week we are expanding and looking at our communities. From the people that we meet day to day to our wider community and the people in the world. We celebrate how diverse our world is. Our featured book this week is All Are Welcome Here by Alexandra Penfold and is a celebration of this. So here you go our community theme for preschoolers.

Community Theme Activity Plan Schedule
Each week we provide 5 simple and easy low prep activities on the theme for you and your preschoolers to do.
Although we don’t have a set schedule we do have one that works for some families, where an activity is recommended per day throughout the week, starting with a sensory or play idea.
Here’s the example schedule
Of course you don’t have to set the activity up like this you could have a day where you focus on the activities and themes or introduce more activities per day (to help we have included our Pinterest board below for you to find more ideas).
Community Activities For Preschoolers Featuring All Are Welcome Here
A preschool activity plan for the theme of communities featuring the book All Are Welcome Here by Alexandra Penfold. From our local community to global these activities are simple, easy and low prep for you and your preschooler.
This week we have a play activity to start the week and play. Roleplay like sensory play is important for preschoolers and you can set up this community themed role play as big or as little as you like.
Mapping is a great way for preschoolers to work on mark-making. With younger preschoolers just draw and use a sand tray, older preschoolers could copy the words for buildings in your community.
This week's math activity is going to take us out and about as well as building and mapping our own communities.
Our recipe is to make a snack house - very cute and you can adapt it with the food that your preschooler would like to eat.
We're building a community for our craft this week. This is so simple and your preschooler will them be able to play with it afterwards.
