Woohoo! It’s finally here. I’ve been working on these Make Way for Ducklings Lesson Plans and Printables for a couple of months now. It’s just been difficult to make the time to get them finished, but these are the lesson plans I’ll be working through with my preschooler and kindergartner throughout the month of September. We have actually already started on them! I love doing preschool lesson plans based on books, and this particular book is perfect for my littles and ties in well with the science I’m doing with my older kids!

Introduce your child to ducks with Make Way for Ducklings Pre-K/K lesson plans and printables.

Make Way for Ducklings Lesson Plans

As with all of my lesson plans, this one is designed with a one week layout, however, feel free to modify that. Since I also teach older children, I do the activities in this lesson plan throughout the course of a month.

Each day your child will complete a morning circle time, letter introduction activities, fine and gross motor skill activities, arts and crafts or sensory play, a read aloud, and outside/nature time. 

I also offer a read-aloud book list, supply list, and detailed daily instructions.

Make Way for Ducklings Activities

Here’s a sample of a couple of the activities we did with this lesson plan. My children ages 2, 3, 5, and 7 all participated in these activities.

Here you will see my kids finger painting the duck number mats. Finger painting is a great sensory activity and it’s also helpful for fine motor skills.

Here’s my super simple and unglamorous pond sensory bin. It’s got rocks, sticks, leaves, and rubber ducks. I used a couple of drops of green food coloring to make it look like pond water. Easy peasy and it entertained the kids. I like to use natural materials when possible. This was an outside only bin, of course.

Children’s Books About Ducks

Here are a few of the recommended books that we read.
