Fairy Tale theme for 2 year olds: a week of activities
A fairy tale theme lesson plan for 2 year olds: what a day looks like, then the week's circle time (about five minutes, standing up for the song), books, craft, song, snack, letter and outside time, each with what changes at this age.
A day of the fairy tale theme with 2 year olds
- Arrival, hands washed, free play.
- Circle (about five minutes): hello song, then “Which house would you build, straw, sticks or bricks?” and sing “the queen of hearts”.
- Craft with a grown-up pouring and cutting: three-houses card.
- Snack: Overnight Oats.
- Outside: huff and puff.
- Read Ten Pigs, the same book again tomorrow.
- Rest, then color the letter F picture page.
Fairy Tale circle time
- Good morning song, then say each name together.
- Calendar: the day, the date and the weather.
- Ask: “Which house would you build, straw, sticks or bricks?”
- Sing: The Queen of Hearts.
- Read: Ten Pigs (level 1).
Twos: about five minutes; stand up for the song.
Fairy Tale theme books

- Goldilocks and the Three Bears (read aloud, level 5): A read-aloud: too hot, too cold, just right.
