January is such a fun time for new beginnings! In the homeschool world many of us use this time to start a new curriculum, a new grade level, or even just freshen things up with some new thematic units. So today I’m sharing our favorite January Preschool themes in our January Preschool Curriculum. I hope these activities bring lots of fun to your learning time!

January Morning Work Bins
Morning bins are a great way to wake up little brains, or even replace morning cartoons if you’re looking to minimize screen time. I like to spend a minute before bed setting up a morning bin at our kitchen table (where we do the majority of our homeschool time), or on our coffee table.
Our Winter set includes 6 bins that can be used in 2 ways, giving you 12 different activities! Children can choose a card from their bin and match it on top of their answer (as shown below). Or, they can choose a card from their bin and color their answer on their recording sheet.
Weekly Themed Activities
Our January Preschool Curriculum includes 3 weeks of themed lessons – this way you have the first week of January to enjoy the rest of your Christmas break! These 3 week-long themes serve as the base of our homeschool Preschool curriculum. Read on to see which 3 themes we include in our January plans!
Winter Preschool Theme
Of course we couldn’t have a January curriculum without a Winter theme! This theme includes lots of snow-themed fun to help your little learners practice Math, Literacy, and Fine Motor skills.
This theme covers skills like counting, colors, shapes, letters, beginning sounds, and SO much more! In total, children will practice with 15 Winter themed preschool centers.
Polar Animals Preschool Theme
Our next January Preschool theme is Polar Animals! There are SO many adorable little critters included in this set! Not only is this is great theme for practicing Math and Literacy skills, it also gives children some extra Science fun by studying these animals!
This theme covers skills like counting, colors, shapes, letters, beginning sounds, and SO much more! In total, children will practice with 15 Polar Animals themed preschool centers.
Space Preschool Theme
While I LOVE to use seasonally-themed resources in our curriculum, it’s also fun to include what we call “anytime” resources! One of our favorite “anytime” themes is SPACE! While you can use it at the end of January with our plans, you can also incorporate it into any other time of the year.
This theme covers skills like counting, colors, shapes, letters, beginning sounds, and SO much more! In total, children will practice with 15 Space themed preschool centers.
January NO PREP Worksheets
No theme is complete without some super helpful, NO PREP worksheets! These 38 print-and-go pages are ink-saving, easy to use, and highly engaging! Children will practice TONS of Math and Literacy skills while tracing, coloring, cutting, pasting, and more!
I like to use these worksheets to review and assess skills we’ve been covering that month. But they also serve as great Morning Work activities if you need a simple way to practice!
And… I Planned FOR YOU!
This bundle of activities includes a full month of print and go visual lesson plans! This sheet tells you exactly which morning bins, centers theme, and worksheets to use each week.
Ready to learn with your Preschoolers ALL YEAR LONG?! You can save TONS when you grab this set of centers in our Full Year Preschool Curriculum! The bundle includes everything you need for an entire year of learning! You’ll find themes for holidays, seasons, and all sorts of “anytime” themes like Dinosaurs and Space!
