Enjoy a fun weekly toddler activity plan with an 'All About Me' theme. This is a really fun toddler weekly activity guide. If you missed our previous toddler weekly activity plans you can catch up on them all HERE.
Each day we have a book to read (or a read aloud to watch if you don't have a copy, a song or dance to enjoy and 2-3 themed activities.
We would love you to join us in our Weekly Themed Facebook Group to share your All About Me themed activities and also to share your pics over on Instagram (follow @myboredtoddler and use #myboredtoddler so we can share our favorites!).
Missed a theme? Catch up HERE.
ALL ABOUT ME - Day 1
Book: What I Like About Me
Available on Amazon HERE or watch a read aloud on Youtube HERE.
Song/Dance: Me!
Craft - Paper Plate Self Portrait
Use a white paper plate as a canvas for a self portrait. Use craft supplies (wool, paper, paper, googly eyes, markers etc) to let them create a picture of themselves! Here's a few different ideas.
Activity - Who Is In My Family?
It's time to get out the family photos. Use your phone if that is all you have but if you can print some out that's even better. If you make photo calenders these can be a great item to quickly grab.
Leave them or put them in an album and sit and talk about who is in the photo and what their role is in your family. Include special friends who are important to your child as well.
Get Moving - Colors of Me yoga
Get your child moving to kid friendly yoga that explores their emotions and feelings.
ALL ABOUT ME - Day 2
Book: Marvelous Me!
Available on Amazon HERE or watch a Read Aloud on Youtube HERE.
Song / Dance - What I am!
Craft - Life Size Drawing
For this activity you need a roll of craft paper (always handy to have in your craft cupboard) and a Sharpie
Have your child lay down on the paper and then trace them. Let them decorate themselves however they like - let them get creative!
Sensory Bin - My Favorite Things!
Today's sensory bin is going to be filled with your child's favorite things. It can be themed or a random mix. Does he love Dinosaurs and Cars? Then add them! A fan of animals - add some toy animals! You can use a simple base like rice or sand.
ALL ABOUT ME - Day 3
Book: It's OkayTo Be Different
A lovely book celebrating everyone's differences.
Available on Amazon HERE or watch a read aloud on YouTube HERE
Song/Dance: What's Your Name?
Craft - DIY Name Stamping!
Have fun learning to recognise your name with these easy to make DIY Name stamps. See how to make them HERE.
SENSORY PLAY - ALL ABOUT ME PLAYDOUGH FACES
It's time to get out the playdough and make playdough faces! This activity from Toddler Approved is a fun one - nothing fancy required. Cut out some face shapes from construction paper and use playdough to make faces.
ALL ABOUT ME - Day 4
Book: We're Different, We're the Same
Available on Amazon HERE or watch a Read Aloud on Youtube HERE.
Song/Dance: Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes
Craft - What I Like Collage
It's time to get out the magazines and junk mail catalogues. We're going to create a 'What I Like' collage. Get your toddler to go through and find things that he or she likes. Cut them out (with help for the younger ones!) and stick them on. You can also draw things if you prefer.
You can focus on food, drinks, activities, toys, people etc.
MEASURING - HOW TALL AM I?
Explore ourselves with measurement. You can measure height using yarn or wool. Why not mix it up by laying the wool down and seeing how many blocks long you are? Or how many toy cars tall you are? So many opportunities.
ANIMALS - Day 5
Book: I Like Me
Available on Amazon HERE or watch a read aloud on Youtube HERE.
Song/Dance - The Hokey Pokey
Activity - The Mirror
Spend some time looking in the mirror ( you can get shatter proof toddler friend one's on Amazon) and talk about what you see.
What do you look like?
What color are your eyes?
What color is your hair?
Is your hair long or short?
Then look at an adult and ask them if you look the same or different. What is different?
FINGERPRINT PAINTING
Did you know that your fingerprints are unique? Talk about how only YOU have the fingerprint pattern you can see. Trace your hand and use finger painting to explore fingerprints.
After that, use fingerprints to do regular finger painting!
