Welcome to Month 3 of The Home Play Curriculum!
This month is all about family, gratitude, and the simple joys of daily life. Through farm-inspired sensory play, pretend play, and music, your toddler will explore textures, coordination, and language — all while connecting with you through meaningful routines.
New here? This month’s plan is one piece of our homeschool preschool curriculum guide, which shows how each month’s themes fit into a full year of learning at home.
