Letter of the Week- Review A-D

Last week was a review week for us and we reviewed the letters A, B, C and D.

Each day we did one of these to review a letter.  I saved the letters from a project we did during the week when Hailey first learned the letter.  And I printed out pictures and words that started with that particular letter.

My mom bought these fun letter shaped cookie cutters for Hailey.  So, we used them for several projects.  For this one- we used the letters, paint and paper.

Hailey dipped the letters into the paint and then stamped them onto the paper.  (And also ate some, as you can see from the green around her mouth.)

We used the cookie cutters to cut out playdough.

And then, of course, we made cookies.  Hailey is dumping the sugar into our bowl.

And sampling some of the cookie dough (I only let her do this BEFORE I added the eggs.  Do not let your child sample cookie dough with raw eggs in it.)

Be sure to come back everyday when I will post our activities about our theme this month (fall), our color, shape and number (orange, triangles and 3) and our Bible theme (Noah).

Creation Days 6 and 7

We finished up our Creation theme with days 6 and 7.

For day 6 you will need: glue, card stock, picture of your child, picture of various animals, paper that says “Day 6” and paper that says “God created animals and people.”

Have your child glue his/her picture in the middle of the paper and then put the pictures of the animals all around.

Finished Day 6- God created animals and people.

For day 7 you will need card stock, glue, a paper that says “Day 7,” a paper that says “God rested,” a picture of the earth and a heart.  When I sent these images to the printer they were much bigger.  I’m not sure why they ended up so small when I actually printed them.  Then I was having some computer and printer problems and didn’t want to deal with the hassle of reprinting them.  But, I wanted them to be much bigger.

The finished Day 7- God rested.

Circle Sponge Painting

I usually have a number, shape and color activity to share but I really slacked because these activities were from the week before Hailey’s birthday and we were getting ready to go out of town.  So, I only have one activity to share for a circle project we did.

Here’s what you’ll need: paint, paper, sponge cut like a circle and a paper plate.

Dip the circle sponge into the paint and stamp onto the paper.  I always spread the paint really thin on the paper plate as the prints work better this way.

Hailey has her eyes closed eating the paint because she thinks I can not see her when she closes her eyes.

More Apple Fun

Our theme again this week was Apples. We made an Apples Up On Top book based on the Ten Apples Up On Top book by Dr. Seuss.

Here’s what you’ll need: a cover page that says “Ten Apples Up On Top,” 10 pictures of your child’s favorite people, apple stickers (55 of them), glue, scissors, and an ending page that says “The End.”

On each page I printed out “_____ has _____ apples up on top.”  Then Hailey glued a picture of one of her favorite people on each page.

Then we added stickers on top of their heads.  One person had one apple, another had two, all the way up to 10.

Here is the cover of her book.  I put her book into slip covers then used those metal rings to hold it all together.

Here is a sample of two of her pages.

Then we did some apple sorting based on color.

All the red, green and yellow apples were sorted correctly.  (If you are curious about her purple and red outfit see this Already post on my Livin’ With Me blog.)
