The INSTANT Themes Bundle

preschool themes

Hi there teacher besties! Today is a really fun post! My sister opened her own preschool program last year! It was a great success, but like all teachers she was still scrambling around to piece together the material she needed each week for her class. She would send me a message and I would “send what I had.” However, we quickly started brainstorming for an ultimate and true all-in-one type of resource for everything she was piecing together!

We needed circle activities, thematic read alouds, discovery ideas, dramatic play, science, fine motor, ELA centers, math centers, fine motor journals, and all the bits here and there in between! We worked hard to make a list of all these and make ONE resource with all of these items crammed into it! That is when I created my new INSTANT Themes packets!

INSTANT THEMES: THE BUNDLE

Before I get into all of the bits and pieces that is included in this bundle, I want to first SHOW you with a video! In this video you will see the entire preschool room transformed to my first theme, farm fun! You will see me show you the dramatic play areas, art center, discovery center, fine motor centers, ELA centers, math centers, and the circle time as well! View this overview video the classroom HERE or the video below!

Along with the overview video, this quote from another preK teacher, Nicki, really helps to explain what these packets truly offer!

“So much goodness for one small price! How do I even begin to describe it all? SUPER FUN and ENGAGING resource for an INCREDIBLE VALUE with lots of OPTIONS FOR EVERYTHING and there is SO MUCH INCLUDED! Tara has offered so many PLAY-BASED ideas for circle time, fingerplays, math and literacy centers, dramatic play, sensory, science, crafts, and fine motor! Then there are pocket charts, easy readers, thematic word cards, and more PIP BOOKS to introduce concepts and how to play! There are options for: using printables and manipulatives, dramatic play centers, how to make crafts and props, and even whether to use clipart or REALISTIC PICTURES! Tara’s photos and videos will be so helpful in figuring out how to setup all the INTERACTIVE activities and centers! She even includes BUDGET TIPS to help you save money as you setup or make your own centers/props and ideas for where to purchase materials pictured!” -Nicki, Preschool Teacher

The INSTANT Theme packets are teacher-created, kid-tested, and most importantly kid-approved! The INSTANT Theme packets takes away that monotonous way of teaching which students sit and listen to the teacher TEACH.  Instead, the INSTANT Theme packets encourage guidance from the teacher while the students EXPLORE and LEARN through hands-on and engaging activities that utilize all modes of learning.

These are just a few highlights you’ll see using the INSTANT Themes:

preschool themes

I find it extremely hard to write in words what all this bundle includes but I will do my best! First, let’s start with a visual overview of the themes! Now when we started to collaborate activities we realized some of or favorite themes or favorite dramatic plays just couldn’t be expanded across all of the areas covered within each themed packet!

preschool themes

INSTANT Themes Included

That is when I decided to combine several themes within one theme! After all each teacher is different on when you implement themes, but in general we all teach pumpkins, leaves, and apples around the same time! We also teach about snow, penguins, and Arctic animals around the same of year as well! When you view the visual overview below, I just want to clarify that each packet won’t be just ONE theme… each packet covers a variety of themes! They are just all stuffed together!

My intention with these packets is each will be enough material for a good month of school! You most likely aren’t interested in swapping your dramatic play center every week so you will want something that can be used over a longer duration.

preschool themes

If you choose to grab the bundle you get ten of these packets! Again, there is not set time limit for each packet, but you can think of at least a month of material for each packet! The packets can also be swapped in any order. If you teach farm in the spring, you can swap it to later in the year!

INSTANT Farm Fun IN ACTION!

If you have a few extra minutes I encourage you to watch this video as well! In this detailed video, I take you through the entire preschool classroom! You’ll be able to see the entire farm fun packet set up! I go over each area in detail so you can see what’s included.

Keep in mind that everything you saw here is just ONE of the thematic packets! The bundle includes nine additional packets!


Realistic Photographs

preschool themes

The best hidden gem in the INSTANT Themes bundle is the option to choose between REALISTIC pictures or standard clip art! The packet gives you the choice throughout! The realistic pictures are amazing for exposing students to a range of vocabulary. They also offer learning opportunities that we just can’t get through clip art! (Not every cow is black and white. Not every pig is hot pink.)
