Markers and pencils and backpacks – oh, my! Back to School season is just about here and I don’t know about you, but it just gives me all the feels. In the charming words of one Mr. Joe Fox, “I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.” (Name that movie – QUICK!!)
Back to School season brings so many opportunities for exciting Preschool themes, which means there is lots to cover. So today I’m sharing our favorite August Preschool themes in our August Preschool Curriculum. I hope these activities bring lots of fun to your learning time!

August Fine Motor Crafts
Fine motor skill activities 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. We enjoy our breakfast and basket time at the kitchen table, so having NO PREP fine motor activities that my kiddos can do independently really helps keep our basket time running smooth. Having those little hands engaged in a quiet activity allows me to get in lots of our read aloud time!
Our Back to School fine motor worksheets set includes 25 NO PREP pages that are perfect for your August themes! Children will practice cutting, tracing, coloring, tearing, gluing, and SO much more. They’ll have so much fun making fun crafts to display, they won’t even realize how much important work they are accomplishing!
Weekly Themed Activities
Our bundle of August Preschool themes includes 4 FULL weeks of themed lessons. These week-long themes serve as the base of our homeschool Preschool curriculum as they each include 5 days of Math, Literacy and Fine Motor Skills printable activities. Read on to see which themes we like to include in our August theme plans!
Back to School Preschool Theme
August just isn’t complete without a Back to School theme! My favorite thing about a theme like this is that it can really be used ANY time of the school year. The clipart theme for this pack is “school supplies”, which our kiddos are using all year long – making this a great option to keep prepped to pull out whenever you have some extra time for learning fun!
This theme covers skills like counting, colors, shapes, letters, beginning sounds, and SO much more! In total, children will practice with 15 Back to School themed preschool centers.
All About Me Preschool Theme
Do you know a Preschooler who does NOT like to tell you all the things about themselves (and their family, and their toys, and their pets, etc.)??? Our little ones LOVE to share about their interests, so an All About Me theme is a perfect companion to the rest of your August themes!
This theme covers skills like counting, colors, shapes, letters, beginning sounds, and SO much more! In total, children will practice with 15 All About Me themed preschool centers.
Football Preschool Theme
While I can certainly say school supplies and apples give me the Back to School feels, you know what REALLY gets me excited about this time of year? Football season!! As a former cheerleader and “band nerd”, football season was always the signal that August had arrived. So including football fun with the rest of our August themes was a no brainer. (PS This is also a fun theme to take back out in the Winter when you’re enjoy all of the Super Bowl festivities!)
This theme covers skills like counting, colors, shapes, letters, beginning sounds, and SO much more! In total, children will practice with 15 Football themed preschool centers.
Apples Preschool Theme
One of my favorite things to add to our collection of August Preschool themes is a study of apples! Apples always come to mind as the traditional “teacher gift” so they scream Back to School to me. But they also make the perfect transition theme between August and Fall! Whether your new school year begins in August or September, this theme is sure to be a crowd pleaser and add tons of seasonal spirit to your learning time!
This theme covers skills like counting, colors, shapes, letters, beginning sounds, and SO much more! In total, children will practice with 15 Apples themed preschool centers.
August Math & Literacy Worksheets
No theme is complete without some super helpful, NO PREP Math and Literacy 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 August Preschool Morning Work activities if you need a simple way to practice!
