Empower your older toddler to discover who they are and navigate their surroundings with confidence using the Month 1: Me and My World Lesson Plan by Everyday Play N Learn! This comprehensive 22-page monthly curriculum focuses on identity, self-awareness, personal routines, and fostering early independence in toddlers aged 18 to 24 months.

Designed specifically for toddler care environments, this unit integrates daily routines—such as family-style meal self-feeding, handwashing songs, diapering transitions, and quiet nap times—with active social and sensory discovery. From mirror playdough face collages and body tracing to doll dressing, emotion paper plates, family photo bins, and clean-up stations, toddlers build fine motor skills, self-esteem, and social connections.

What's Inside:

• Week 1 (Identity, Routines, and Independence): Create face paper collages with mirrors, match daily routine cards, practice dressing dolls with zippers and Velcro, share family photos, and paint self-portraits.

• Week 2 (My Body, My Feelings): Trace full-body paper outlines, sequence daily picture schedules, practice choice-making with art stations, craft paper plate emotion faces, and wash toy cars in a helper station.

• Week 3 (I Can Do It): Practice self-choice finger painting, practice doll zipping and buttoning, sort toys into bins, sort laundry socks by size/color, and make friendship bracelets.

• Week 4 (About Me): Construct block houses, sort toys into labeled bins, explore scent jars for the five senses, paint with favorite colors, and trace full-body outlines in a Month Finale.
