Coloring pages are always a hit with preschoolers, and these summer coloring pages are no exception! Not only do they get to color their favorite seasonal images, but they also get to learn some new vocabulary words.
Each coloring page features a different summer word, such as “sun”, “beach”, or “pool”. As they color the pictures, they will also be practicing their literacy skills.

SUMMER MOVIES FOR preschoolers
As the summer sun heats up, many parents look for ways to keep their preschoolers entertained. While there are plenty of options for indoor activities, nothing beats the heat like an afternoon movie.
Fortunately, there are a number of great summer movies that are perfect for preschoolers. “Moana” and “Arthur: Summer Stories” are both sure to please, and “The Dog Who Saved Summer” is perfect for animal lovers.
For parents looking for a more educational option, “The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About Camping” and “Blippi Explores a Water Park” offer classic stories with important lessons about friendship and family.
BOOKS ABOUT SUMMER
I love to include a wide variety of books in my lessons. I use some for read-alouds and save others for independent reading (when appropriate).
Below, I’m sharing a few of my favorite summer picture books. I find they’re perfect for introducing summer activities, increasing vocabulary, and illustrating important information.
Summer is Here! Pick blueberries, see a caterpillar grow from an egg to a butterfly, or take a trip to the lake or beach with your family. Peek under rocks, look up in the trees, dive into the water–there is so much to learn and so much to discover together when you read Summer is Here!
I See Summer Pea pods, cucumbers, and strawberries provide plenty of opportunities for counting in the garden! Follow Dad, Grandma, and other family members as they pick and count. Hidden numbers on every page give readers an opportunity to search and learn.
Summertime in the Big Woods The winter is finally over, and now it is summertime. Laura and Mary are busy all day helping Ma in the garden and playing outside.
