This Tot School: St. Patrick’s Day resource has everything you need for a week packed full of St. Patrick’s Day themed fun and learning.

My tot school weekly plans are designed with the 2-3 year old child in mind. Every activity can be used at home with one or more children or adapted for use in a day care/preschool classroom. Tot school is all about exploring and learning together while exposing children to a variety of skills and concepts.

Prepping for the week is super easy with this checklist. Round up everything you need for the week without having to search through each page of activities!

Learning activity pages include everything you need to know to complete the activities for the week. Each learning category has a page with pictures, directions, materials, and goals so you know exactly what to do for each activity.
