Welcome to the Activity Idea Place -
the theme based lesson plan resource.

This website started in 1998 as part of an Early Childhood Education project called the file box. We host over 200 different lesson plan themes for toddler, preschool and kindergarten teachers. These lesson plans are also great for students obtaining an education degree as well. I took a lot of time to develop and write each of the lesson plan ideas on this site. You may not publish (i.e. websites, email, newsletters, books, etc) them in any way without my permission. If you wish to share the content of our website please feel free to link to the Activity Idea Place or share this page on Facebook. Please visit West Madison Falls High School, a fantastic resource for those wishing to further their education.

Thank you for visiting.

Featured Preschool Activity -

Found on the St. Patrick's Day page. Potato Prints Cut a large potato in half. You will need a cookie cutter that will fit on the potato half. Press the cookie cutter into the flat side of the potato. Then, using a knife, cut the potato around the INSIDE of the cookie cutter, leaving a shaped potato stamp. Supply the children with the potato stamps, different colored paints, and paper. Have the children dip the potatoes in the paint and press them firmly onto the paper. If the potatoes are not cut evenly the shapes will not appear clearly.
