Letter of the Week- Letter W

Finally!  We’re back with a new craft!!  Yay!!  We’ve been busy getting settled into our new house and enjoying summer. It will probably be a while before I get back to posting every day because we’ve been spending a lot of time playing outside and enjoying the nice weather.  So for now I’ll just post a little bit until we get back into doing more activities this fall.

Since I want to finish the alphabet before fall comes- we did this cute W craft that I found over at No Time for Flashcards.

Here’s what you’ll need: construction paper- green, pink and yellow, green marker and crayon, glue and watermelon seeds.  If you don’t have watermelon seeds you can just cut some small black ovals for the seeds.

Cut out 2 Ws.  Make the pink W a bit smaller than the green one.

Have your child color the green W with the green marker and crayon.

Glue the green W onto the yellow paper and then glue the pink W on top of the green one.

Add some seeds to the W.

The finished “W is for Watermelon.”

Shape Activities

Here are a variety of shape activities we have done over the last year.

Hailey made a shape dinosaur using a variety of shapes.

We made a train an added circles for wheels and squares for windows.

Hailey loved her sailboat and we used a triangle for the sail.

We made a truck using a variety of shapes.

Hailey made this fish using all hearts.

This was a shape sorting activity that Hailey enjoyed.

Hailey made circle prints when we were learning about circles.

Song Activities

I still haven’t had time yet to do any crafts with Hailey.  We have almost everything unpacked and I should be able to do some new activities soon.  I thought since I didn’t get a chance to make anything with Hailey today that I would post some of our favorite song related activities from last summer.

We made this to go along with Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.

We made a school bus to go with The Wheels on the Bus.

A really cute song is The Little Green Frog and we made a puppet to go along with is.

The Five Little Ducks is fun song and we made a duck pond to go along with it.

See all of our song activities here.

Where Have We Been?

I am sorry that we suddenly disappeared! We have been so busy. We were working on finishing up some projects at our new house. Then Rich and I went away for our anniversary. The day after we came back from that we left for a vacation to go visit some family. When we got back we moved into our new house. So, as you can probably guess we’ve been pretty busy!  We are still working on unpacking and getting things put away.  I am hoping that by next week I’ll be organized enough to get back into somewhat of a routine with Hailey where we have time to do some crafts.  Thanks for your patience!
