3–4 Years Old: Lesson Plan: Colors & Shapes (Month 2) | Everyday Play N Learn Curriculum Series
Core Skills: Letter Identification ('Uu', 'Tt', 'Mm', 'Bb'), Sight Word Practice ('the', 'and', 'a'), Primary & Secondary Color Mixing, AB Color Patterning, Geometry Recognition (Circles, Squares, Triangles, Stars, Rectangles), & Directional Path Coding
Introduce your 3- to 4-year-olds to the vibrant world of shapes and color theory with the Month 2: Colors & Shapes Lesson Plan by Everyday Play N Learn! This detailed 21-page monthly curriculum connects basic geometry, visual discrimination, and color sorting with essential early childhood standards.
Designed for structured preschool classrooms or early childcare environments, this unit balances daily letter tracing, sight words, and counting exercises with hands-on STEM activities—from primary color paint mixing and "Shape Hop" obstacle courses to light/shadow play, leaf rubbings, and walking water rainbow experiments.
What's Inside:
-
Week 1 (Primary Colors): Explore letter 'Uu' phonics and sight word "and", conduct primary color hunts, mix paint to discover secondary colors, practice AB color patterns, execute robot path coding, and learn color Spanish terms ("rojo", "azul", "amarillo", "verde", "anaranjado", "violeta").
-
Week 2 (Shapes Around Me): Practice letter 'Tt' phonics and sight word "the", explore basic geometry (circles, squares, triangles), practice shape breathing, assemble shape collages and monster crafts, and master shape Spanish vocabulary ("círculo", "triángulo", "cuadrado").
-
Week 3 (Exploring Shapes): Study letter 'Mm' phonics and sight words ("the", "and"), navigate shape circle mazes, compare big vs. small sizes, explore light and shadow shapes, build shape houses, and master expanded Spanish terms ("estrella", "forma", "edificio", "grande", "pequeño").
-
Week 4 (Colors Around Us): Study letter 'Bb' phonics and sight word "a", execute "walking water" rainbow experiments, decorate shape pizzas, analyze warm vs. cool color feelings, build a collaborative Shape Mural, and review Spanish terms ("anaranjado", "morado", "mezclar colores", "arcoíris").
