Our Crafts N Things

We had a lot of fun learning all about letter M!  Here are a few of the activities we did during letter M week

Our Crafts N Things

Every week for Hunter’s letter of the week I try to create a bin full of toys that start with his letter.  Hailey usually loves to help me with this.

We had to have macaroni and cheese for lunch to go with the letter M!

Hunter loves learning about where all the states are, so he really enjoyed putting together this map puzzle with Hailey.

A cute little toddler who loves to be a part of everything we do!

Hunter put M&Ms onto this letter M paper… and then we had to eat some M&Ms, of course 🙂

He loves doing these letter finds.

(Both printables are from Confessions of a Homeschooler)

We read The Mitten by Jan Brett since we did the letter M during the winter.

After we read the book Hunter acted out the story using some animal cut outs and a mitten.  I have the animal cutouts from an old Mailbox Magazine, so I do not have a link to share for those.  Hunter loved retelling the story and was excited that he was able to get all of the animals into the mitten.

Hunter and Harper made some cute mittens by putting tissue paper onto contact paper shaped like a mitten.

The cute finished mittens.  They make cute sun-catchers too, if you hang them up on a window.

Hunter glued macaroni noodles onto the letter M.

It was a week full of fun learning all about the letter M!

Hunter is 27 months old.

Tot School

We have been busy having lots of fun in Tot School!  We had 2 short weeks, with only 3 days of school each week.  So, this post covers what we did during the last 2 weeks.

Letter M activities:

Tot School

Hunter glued pom poms onto the M and the monkeys.  We used this and several other printables from COAH.

Tot School

Hunter lined up some Unifx cubes on the letter M.

Hunter colored the letter M.

Tot School

Hunter used water colors to paint this M paper.  We also used this and several other printables from 1+1+1=1.

Tot School

He stamped the letter M on this mouse and then glued on some foam Ms.

Tot School

I’m pretty sure the M&M activities were his favorite 🙂  Although he ate most the M &Ms instead of putting them on the paper.  I gave him a little pile of M&Ms and told him to put them on the M on his paper.  He said, “I can’t” and then stuffed them right in his mouth hahaha.

Tot School

He practiced color sorting with the M&Ms.

Tot School

We made this M is for Mike (or M is for Monster).

Tot School

We read 5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed.  Hunter loved this book and has been singing about the monkeys ever since.

Tot School

I made a Five Little Monkeys lapbook for Hunter.

The inside of the lapbook.  Hunter loved this!!  We had so much fun with this lapbook.

Manipulatives:

Tot School

Hunter worked on his alphabet puzzle.

Tot School

These rainbow pegs kept Hunter busy for a long time!

Sensory Bins:

I have decided to do a couple of small sensory bins each week with Hunter.

Tot School

Hunter liked playing with the beads.

Tot School

The yarn was fun too.

Tot School

The bean seeds were definitely his favorite.

Hunter loved the sensory bins!!  They all kept him occupied for a very long time.

(I was closely supervising Hunter during the sensory bin activities as the beads and beans are both choking hazards).

Other stuff:

Tot School

Hunter had fun in our tunnel.

Tot School

Fun dance party 🙂

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.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Make an M on the green paper.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

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

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

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.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

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

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Here’s the finished Mountain M.
