Take your toddlers on an exciting, movement-rich journey with the Month 7: Animal Adventures Lesson Plan by Everyday Play N Learn! This comprehensive 41-page monthly curriculum uses animal sounds, movements, and habitats to encourage physical development and imaginative discovery.

Designed specifically for 12–18 month toddler care schedules, this unit blends essential care routines—including mealtime sign language (EAT, MORE, ALL DONE), scheduled feedings, diapering, and nap times—with active group games and sensory play. From animal crawl mimics and lion mane dabbing to footprint stamping, stuffed pet parades, and a capstone "Toddler Safari," every day is filled with playful learning.

What's Inside:

• Week 1 (Animal Walk Mimic, Roar & Moo songs, Pet Parade): Crawl like bugs and stomping elephants, dig in dog-themed soil bins, paint with animal paw tracks, pull pet wagons, and craft handprint chicks.

• Week 2 (Barnyard Blocks, Habitat Matchup, and Puppet Bar): Wash plastic farm animals in soapy water, paint smooth barnyard rocks, explore icy "glacier" slides, crawl through cardboard boxes, and make paper plate ladybugs.

• Week 3 (Feed the Animals Game and Animal Footprint Paint): Jump over blue felt "puddles" to feed target animals, slide down indoor ramps, follow paper paw prints, stamp rainbow track murals, and explore muddy paw prints.

• Week 4 (Visit with Stuffed Pets, Guess the Animal, and Sing a Zoo): Rescue stuffed pets from green paper grass, play sound-guessing games, make spray-bottle rain art, explore cardboard tube safari binoculars, and craft paper bag safari vests.
