Letter of the Week- Letter M

28
Nov

Our letter this week is the letter M- and as usual I found a cute idea over at No Time for Flash Cards.  We changed it just a bit, but the idea is the same.  We made a Mountain M.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Here’s what you’ll need: construction paper (brown, yellow, white, blue, 2 greens), markers, glue and scissors.

Make an M on the green paper.

Give your child some markers (or whatever you want to use) to decorate the M.

While Hailey was coloring her “M” I cut these out from the other construction paper- 2 white pieces for snow on the top of the mountain, some trees and a sun.

Cut the M out and glue it onto the blue construction paper and then add some clouds (cotton), the sun, trees and snow.

Here’s the finished Mountain M.

Letter of the Week- Letter Y

We made a Y for Yellow.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

You’ll need paper, glue and as many yellow things as you can find.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Color the letter Y with crayons, markers and colored pencils.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Glue on lots of yellow things- we used pipe cleaner, pom poms, torn up paper, torn up tissue paper, feathers, and some yellow foam.

Cover up the Y and let the glue dry.

Our completed Y is for Yellow.

Letter of the Week- Letter S

Our letter this week is the letter S, so I showed Hailey a couple of choices over at No Time for Flash Cards and let her pick what she wanted to do.  She decided she wanted to make a Star S.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Here’s what you’ll need: an S, some stars, paint, glitter, glue, something to paint with, bowls and construction paper.

Hailey used the silver glitter paint to paint the black construction paper.

Then I mixed some glitter in with the yellow paint.

Hailey used the yellow glitter paint to paint the stars…

… and the letter S.

After the stars were dry I cut them out.

Hailey glued the S and the stars onto the black construction paper.

Chicka-Chicka-Boom-Boom Tree

One of Hailey’s favorite alphabet books is Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr.  So I had this fabulous idea that we would make a Chicka Chicka Boom Boom tree in Hailey’s playroom and add the letters to the tree as we learn each letter.  But then I remembered that I am not very artistic and so I asked my mom for some help.

And look at the cute Chicka Chicka Boom Boom tree she made for Hailey!  I printed the letters for the tree using a download I found on Confessions of a Homeschooler.
