Letter of the Week- Letter L

Sorry that I have disappeared for the last week- we have been really busy! We are in the midst of selling our house and that can be a pretty time consuming process. I am going to try to post more regularly- but I just can’t promise that I will be able to.

Our letter of the week this week is the letter L.  We made a Letter L with Lines on it.

Here’s what you’ll need:  letter L on a piece of construction paper, another piece of construction paper, paint and Q-Tips.

Paint some lines on your letter L.  I showed Hailey how to make a line and then she took over.  She did pretty well making some lines and then asked me to help her finish.

Here is our finished Lined Letter L.

Wheel Painting

Our theme this week is transportation and we did a really simple craft today.  Hailey loves these kinds of activities.

Here’s what you’ll need: paint, paper plates, construction paper and cars (or anything with wheels).

Dip the wheels into the paint and drive the car on your paper.  Hailey was thrilled with the result! 
( This will work best if you spread the paint nice and thin on your paper plate.)

Add another color.

The finished piece of art.

Cookie Cutter Painting

We did another really simple painting project for our Valentine’s Day theme.

Here’s what you’ll need: paint, paper plates, paper and some Valentine’s Day cookie cutters.

Spread the paint thinly onto the paper plates and dip the cookie cutters into the paint.

Stamp onto the paper.

Heart Sponge Painting

This craft is so simple, but definitely one of Hailey’s favorite things to do.  While she does love our activities that are more directed by me, she really loves when she can just do whatever she wants.  I try to remember to do a lot of crafts where she can just be creative and we don’t have to worry about following directions.

Here’s what you’ll need: paper, paint, a heart shaped sponge and a paper plate.

Spread the paint thinly on the paper plate and enjoy sponge painting.

The end result.
