Letter of the Week- Letter S
June 22nd, 2009

Our letter this week is the letter S, so I showed Hailey a couple of choices over at No Time for Flash Cards and let her pick what she wanted to do.  She decided she wanted to make a Star S.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Here’s what you’ll need: an S, some stars, paint, glitter, glue, something to paint with, bowls and construction paper.

Hailey used the silver glitter paint to paint the black construction paper.

Then I mixed some glitter in with the yellow paint.

Hailey used the yellow glitter paint to paint the stars…

… and the letter S.

After the stars were dry I cut them out.

Hailey glued the S and the stars onto the black construction paper.

It’s a Plane!
March 11th, 2009

We have been learning all about transportation and today we made an airplane.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Here’s what you’ll need: toilet paper roll, paint, something to paint with, small pieces of cardboard for the wings and (not pictured) black construction paper.  Cut slits in the toilet paper roll and insert the wings.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Paint your airplane.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Add some windows by cutting little circles from the black construction paper.  I had Hailey just stick them to the wet paint so we could skip the whole gluing step.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Fly the airplane.  (Please excuse the mess in the background.)

Letter of the Week- Letter L
March 9th, 2009

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.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

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

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

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.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Here is our finished Lined Letter L.

Wheel Painting
February 18th, 2009

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

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

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

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

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.)

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Add another color.
