Unleash your toddler's inner artist and boost early color vocabulary with the Month 4: Color & Create Lesson Plan by Everyday Play N Learn! This 41-page monthly curriculum introduces young toddlers to artistic tools, primary colors, and expressive tactile mediums.

Designed specifically for toddler routines, this unit integrates daily mealtime sign language (EAT, MORE, ALL DONE), gross motor obstacle courses, and nap schedules with creative sensory play. From chunky crayon scribbling and Ziploc mess-free finger painting to dot sticker sorting, ice-cube melting art, and rainbow rolling pins, toddlers build fine motor control and visual recognition.

What's Inside:

• Week 1 (Scribbles, Songs, and Color Focus): Practice chunky crayon scribbling, white-crayon resist art, sticky-wall contact paper scribbling, texture scribbling on sandpaper, and collaborative floor murals.

• Week 2 (Paint, Peel, and Primary Colors): Explore washable finger painting, mess-free Ziploc paint bags, pincer-grasp dot sticker sorting, color-mixing jar demonstrations, and easel painting.

• Week 3 (Shapes, Smocks, and the Art Wall): Stamp foam circles, squares, and triangles; host a fun "Smock Parade"; assemble a classroom Art Wall display; and create collaborative shape collages.

• Week 4 (Cool Colors and Roller Fun): Draw with outdoor sidewalk chalk, paint with colored ice cubes, roll paint with spools and toy cars, select artwork for framing, and host a final Toddler Art Show gallery walk.
