ECE Weekly Plan: Toddler Group Fruit Theme with Development Focus

This assignment outlines a weekly plan for a toddler group (24-36 months) centered around the theme of 'Fruits.' It includes self-directed play activities such as sensory exploration with fruit-related items, play dough with fruit cutters, and manipulative activities like fruit matching and threading. The plan also incorporates art activities like apple stamping and dramatic play where children pretend to be fruiterers. The rationale behind the activities emphasizes their developmental appropriateness, aiming to enhance learning, gross motor skills, emotional regulation, and empathy. The plan is designed based on the children’s interests and abilities identified through anecdotal records, focusing on perceptual, gross and fine motor, and socio-emotional development. The document also includes instructions for changing Zoom backgrounds.
