We did a knights and castle theme at the beginning of the summer and Joey had a blast. Finally, I’m putting on the knight and castle themed activities together.
I have a few “how-to’s” coming this week for a knight’s shield and helmet. Here’s a list of the activities we did in relation to the theme:
I made a crown template, then traced it on construction paper, put stickers 1-10, and laminated it. We used our regular stash of colored beads as “jewels.”
Printables from Homeschool Creation’s Knight Preschool Pack
These were great and a lot of fun. We used the 3-part cards, castle puzzle, and the tracing/penmanship strips.

Â Medieval Castles
The book in the first picture, Medieval Knights, was our favorite. It was concise and could be read (and keep Joey’s attention) in one sitting. It also introduced different concepts, like the difference between a page, squire, and knight.
Beware that some of the knight books are a bit graphic in regards to weapons and fighting. There were a few we ended up taking back.
