Yesterday I posted about this awesome site I found,
Little Family Fun. One post I was
very excited about was the one on ABC Circles, click
here to
see details! We did two yesterday and two today. The ones we did today are a
little different from the website. I took her idea and made it my own. The
first one we did was spelling. The website used balloons, which was a great
idea. However, since my daughter loves dinosaurs I thought I would make them
hold the balloons!
I am so happy how it came out! I can not draw, so I cut out a couple of
pictures from a coloring book. I also laminated it since I glued all the pieces
and I wanted it to stay together. Little Bear was so EXCITED to see this.
She had so much pride telling me what the dinosaurs where: T-rex,
Velociraptor, and Struthiomimus. Yes, she even said Struthiomimus!
I laid out all the ABCs and then I told her we would be spelling 3 letter
words. Of course she wanted to spell "dinosaur" but told her it was
to big. I picked a word to spell and then I told her which letters she
needed.
She liked looking for the letters, but eventually she did get tired of
spelling. We will have to work on this one slowly I think.
The next activity we tried was matching the little letters with the big
letters. We did this with a bus. On the website, she uses a car, however my
daughter's favorite song is "Wheels on the Bus" so I thought it
would be more appropriate if we used a bus.
We started the activity by singing "Wheels on the Bus" then I set
up the letters in two piles; one with the little letters and one with the big
letters. She picked a letter and then I asked her to find the match.
She had a lot of fun with this activity. Sometimes I picked the letter and
sometimes she did. She liked singing the song while we were doing this too.
These are great activities for learning your ABCs! She liked these so much, I
can not wait to make more!
