September Preschool Themes & Ideas

September is a time for preschoolers to experience and observe many changes in the environment and in their lives. Getting into a school routine and observing changes outdoors as fall arrives offer many opportunities for skill development and engaging activities for young learners. 
September is full of exciting holidays and celebrations that will get your preschoolers excited for the upcoming school year. During September, we are highlighting our All About Me, Apples, Friendship and Kindness, and Leaves and Trees themes. 
​

These themes allow preschoolers to get to know one another while sharing fun facts about themselves, but they also get to celebrate kindness month while preparing for the upcoming fall season. Plus we include some super fun activities that your preschoolers will love!

All About Me

As an early educator you know that an All About Me theme is a go-to at the beginning of the year. Asking preschoolers to share about themselves is the ultimate road to building connection with your students. You can extend learning by including a family theme within this unit. 

Personalized Art

Encourage your students to make personalized art for this theme! A simple idea is to use their fingerprints, and hand prints to make their own process art-no two are alike!

Apples 

Fall weather is right around the corner which means it's almost apple-picking season! An apple theme always seems to be a hit with preschoolers. The best part of an apple theme is the opportunity to touch on math, science, literacy, and even a few taste-testing activities, yum, with simple and low cost materials! 

Apple Stamping

Apple stamping is a really great way to kick off an apple unit. This is a fun opportunity to paint with something new, and incorporate science beforehand. When cutting the apple in half for art, you can have preschoolers observe what the inside of apple looks like. Extend the learning, by using our Apple Science Set.

Friendship and Kindness 

For many little learners, preschool is the first time they are learning to make friends and about how to be a good friend, which incorporates being kind. A friendship and kindness unit is essential for laying necessary social and emotional skills that kids will learn throughout life. Early educators are fostering those skills early on by teaching preschoolers the importance of sharing, empathy, and relationship-building skills. Play is the best approach for building these important skills.  

Amish Friendship Bread

This is the perfect theme to practice teamwork! Baking is fun way to work together to make something your preschoolers can all enjoy. Try our Amish friendship bread recipe.

Leaves and Trees

Falling leaves and changing colors captivate a preschooler. They are fascinated with the world around them and fall is a great time to bring nature inside with a leaves and trees theme. This theme allows preschoolers to experience seasons changing first-hand and it's even more captivating when you can use real-life examples. Fall is a great time to take your preschoolers outdoors for a leaf hunt where they can collect leaves and gather other nature items, to investigate, or use to create a collage.

Sawdust Play Dough

The beginning of the school-year is a great time to work on fine motor skills. One easy way to build strong fingers and hands is to squish and roll dough. Make a batch of our Sawdust Play Dough! Not only is a great fine motor workout, it's also a fun sensory experience for your Leaves and Trees Theme.

Labor Day

Labor Day is celebrated the first Monday in September and while school isn't in session, it's always beneficial to have a conversation with your young learners about jobs, and community helpers. Be sure to grab this free printable Closed for Labor Day Sign to hang in your classrooms as a reminder of no school. 

Grandparent's Day

Give your grandparents an extra hug because Sunday, September 11th is Grandparent's Day.

World Letter Writing Day 

Get your pens and pencils out, friends! September 1st is World Letter Writing Day which means it's the perfect time to celebrate the importance of learning to write. We suggest incorporating writing trays as a fun introduction to letter writing!

National Read a Book Day

What better day to read a book than National Read a Book Day on September 6th. You can find suggested theme related books on each of our theme planning pages!

International Talk Like A Pirate Day

Argh Matey, get your pirate voice ready because September 19th is National Talk Like a Pirate Day! Be sure to check out our pirate theme page for some fun new ideas all about pirates and tropical islands.
