When S turned a year old, I began choosing a theme each month so that my choices at the library and toy library were more focused. I also pull toys, figurines, puzzles, stickers, books, magazine photos, etc. from around the house (and my mom's house) that are related to the theme. Here are the themes I have used so far:
- May: Farm
- June: Ocean
- July: Transportation
- August: Jungle/Zoo
- September: Fruits and Vegetables
Here are some I have planned, but may change:
- October: Sports
- November: Weather/Seasons
- December: Insects/Bugs
- January: Pets
- February: Feelings
- March: Jobs
- April: Forest Friends
As he gets older, I would like for the themes to become more focused around literature or culture. For now, I tried to pick themes that I felt developed his vocabulary (i.e. zebra, football, rain, broccoli...). Any other theme ideas?
