Letter of the Week- Letter W

Finally!  We’re back with a new craft!!  Yay!!  We’ve been busy getting settled into our new house and enjoying summer. It will probably be a while before I get back to posting every day because we’ve been spending a lot of time playing outside and enjoying the nice weather.  So for now I’ll just post a little bit until we get back into doing more activities this fall.

Since I want to finish the alphabet before fall comes- we did this cute W craft that I found over at No Time for Flashcards.

Here’s what you’ll need: construction paper- green, pink and yellow, green marker and crayon, glue and watermelon seeds.  If you don’t have watermelon seeds you can just cut some small black ovals for the seeds.

Cut out 2 Ws.  Make the pink W a bit smaller than the green one.

Have your child color the green W with the green marker and crayon.

Glue the green W onto the yellow paper and then glue the pink W on top of the green one.

Add some seeds to the W.

The finished “W is for Watermelon.”

Letter of the Week- Letter V

We have not been around much lately as we are doing some work on our new house and preparing to move in.  We only had time to get one activity done this week.  Our letter this week was the letter V and we made a V is for Volcano craft.

Here’s what you’ll need: construction paper, glue, scissors, marker

Make a large “V” and a whole bunch of little “V”s.

Glue the V onto the construction paper.

Add the little “V”s- and try to make them look like the lava coming out of the volcano.

The completed Volcano V.

Letter of the Week- Letter U

Sorry that we disappeared all week!  We were enjoying family from out of town at the beginning of the week and then on Wednesday we finally had our closing for our new house- so we’ve been a bit busy!  We probably won’t be around a whole lot next week either while we get settled in.  But we did have time to do one activity this week- our letter of the week was the letter U.  I showed Hailey some choices for a craft we could do and she picked to make the Unicorn U that we saw at No Time for Flash Cards.

Here’s what you’ll need: a U and a horse shape in a color of your choice, a horn for the unicorn, another piece of construction paper, paint, glue and something to paint with.  We used silver glitter paint- it dries very sparkly looking.

Paint the letter U.

Paint the horse.  (By the way- my mom drew this horse for us since I have no artistic ability!  Thanks mom!)

Glue everything together- and here is your Unicorn U.

Letter of the Week- Letter T

Our letter this week is the letter T and so we made a Train.

Here’s what you’ll need: construction paper, glue, marker, eyes, scissors.

Cut out the train tracks and some shapes for the train.

Glue the tracks onto the paper in the shape of a T.

Add a train on the tracks.

The completed T is for Train.  (You’ll notice our train has eyes- Hailey asked to add eyes to the train and when I told her that trains don’t have eyes she said, “Thomas does.”  So we added eyes.)
