Letter of the Week- Letter I

This week we are focusing on the letter I.  For our art project we made an Ice Cream Cone I- an idea I found at No Time for Flashcards.

Here’s what you’ll need: a few pieces of construction paper, a large I, crayons and glue.

I drew some diamonds on the I to make it look like the cone and then Hailey colored it.

Cut out the ice cream.

Color the ice cream.

Glue everything together.

Tot School- Week in Review

We had another great week of Tot School!  Here is a review of what we did this week with links to the activities I posted about. 

This week we were reviewing letters E-H so we didn’t have a new Letter of the Weekacitivity.  So, instead here are a couple of things we did to review those letters.

Hailey used our letter cookie cutters to cut letters out of her playdough.

One day for lunch I cut Hailey’s grilled cheese sandwich into letters.

We read “The Mitten” by Jan Brett and then made a mitten and the animals.  Hailey retold the story and acted it out by putting the animals into the mitten.

We finished up our winter theme by making this penguin.

The we started our Valentine’s Day theme by making a heart wreath.

We finished up our week by making this heart suncatcher.

Stop by 1+1+1=1 to see more Tot School activities.

Heart Suncatcher

Today we made this very simple and pretty heart suncatcher.

Here is what you’ll need: tissue paper, scissors, contact paper,  a piece of paper to use as your outline for your heart.

Tape a piece of contact paper down on the table with the sticky side up.  Put your heart outline on the contact paper.  (There is a pretty design on the other side of the heart outline.)

Cover the inside of the heart with torn up tissue paper.

Heart Wreath

I had planned to wait until next week to post our Valentine’s Day crafts, but I’m in the mood to start now.  So, we’re starting today instead.

We made this very easy and cute Heart Wreath.

Here’s what you’ll need: paper plate, paper, scissors and glue.

Cut the center out of the paper plate and cut hearts out of the paper.

Glue your hearts onto the plate.
