Toddler Curriculum Letter Activity — E is for Extinct

Where can I find a toddler homeschool curriculum to teach the letter E?

This week our theme is E is for extinct. This theme gave us the chance to explore dinosaurs, fossils, and wooly mammoths. This theme is a hit for most toddlers. They have so much fun digging for bones in the sensory dirt and making “fossils” in playdough. If your toddler is really curious, be sure to check out my Toddler Curriculum. It’s only $19.99 and includes lesson plans that are perfect for casual learning at home, daycare lesson plans, or a complete toddler homeschool curriculum.
