Description
A whole year of learning through stories, play, and wonder.
The Playful Book Club is a literature and play-based curriculum for children ages 4–7, created especially for homeschool co-ops.
Each week begins with a beautiful picture book and grows into an experience: children talk, explore, create, move, imagine, and play.
Instead of worksheets and rigid lesson plans, Playful Book Club gives young children opportunities to learn through doing while building literacy, creativity, problem-solving, fine-motor skills, social-emotional skills, and a love of learning.
And for the adult leading the class?
The planning is already done – It’s a ready-to-use curriculum for homeschool co-ops that turns great picture books into meaningful experiences through conversation, hands-on exploration, creativity, and play.
The Playful Book Club includes 32 complete weekly lessons organized around 8 engaging themes.
Every week, children gather around a picture book and then have opportunities to talk, explore, create, connect, and play.
Every lesson includes:
đź“š Book & Story Time: A carefully selected picture book with guided discussion questions and teacher prompts.
🔎 Hands-On Activity: An engaging activity connected to the story and theme. Think simple STEM challenges, movement, exploration, games, and hands-on discovery.
🎨 Creative Project: An open-ended art or craft experience that encourages creativity, imagination, and fine-motor development.
🧸 Invitation to Play: A simple prompt that extends the story through pretend play, movement, creative expression, or social interaction.
