Fall is practically here! Tonight I'm sharing my favorite October preschool themes for you and resources to plan for those themes!

If you've been here much, you'll know that preschool themes are my favorite way to organize preschool lessons! I've been sharing monthly sets of preschool theme ideas! I have a collection of 52 preschool themes that corresponds to my preschool curriculum, but there are far more than 52 possible themes you could learn about every year! In this post I will share a list of ideas for October preschool themes that we've enjoyed, collections of activities you can use for them and some of my favorite books! These themed collections have everything from crafts to science experiments to printables, and more!

These ideas are perfect for planning a preschool schedule, daycare, or homeschool! I hope it helps make your planning super easy and fun...I know I have a ridiculous amount of fun planning out school time... :D

October Preschool Theme Ideas:

Pumpkins
Bats
Spiders
Owls
Skeletons/Bones
Halloween
Harvest
Fall/Autumn
Explorers (Columbus Day is the second Monday of October and Leif Erikson Day is October 9th)

I like to limit each theme to one week because it is easier to keep kids (and adults!) excited about a theme for a short time. It is perfectly okay, though, to spend more (or less) time on a theme, according to your preschoolers' interests!

And, of course, I've gathered up some fantastic resources for y'all! Planning for October will be easy with these preschool themes and ideas!!
