Preschool Planning – 4th of July

My turn to plan our school unit! This time, the theme is 4th of July. As I type this, my dear daughter is supposed to be taking a nap, but is too excited about the fireworks to sleep :)

To try and make this a little easier, I’ve decided this time to go through the activities one by one  and post either where I got the idea or the printable for it. Since some of them are combined, it might be not quite as simple as that, but we’ll give it a shot.

Here’s my overview page: 4th of July Unit Planning Sheet

And here's the Detailed Activity List: 4th of July Detailed Activity List2

Here’s what I used for each activity:

1. USA Coloring Page
2. Shape Race
3. Red, White & Blue Collage – Collected random craft supplies from my stash. Didn’t buy anything for it or print anything specifically.
4. F is for Flag Handwriting Page
5. Cherry Playdough
6. US Flag discussion (nothing special there)
7. Graham Cracker Flags
8. Match Flags (see page 1)
9. Make a Flag Windsock (nothing extra needed)
10. F is for Flag Dot Page (page 2)
11. Cupcake Fireworks
12. Holiday Sort
13. Sort Stars
14. Glitter Fireworks
15. Find the Fs
