H is for House Shape Review

Today, we learned about the letter h as well as shapes by making a shape house.

I cut out lots of shapes, and Mr. T glued them on the paper to construct his house.

F is for Face

Today we made a face for the letter F. This project took a little more prep work for mommy as I had to cut out all of the pieces, but Tuck loved gluing the pieces onto the face.



Supplies needed: construction paper, scissors, and a glue stick



Begin by cutting out the parts needed: an F, an oval, a mouth, eyes, a nose, and a heart cut in half for the ears.



I then let Tuck glue the different pieces on the face, and we were finished. I loved how it turned out! This may be my favorite letter we've done so far!

E is for Egg

Pardon our little break from creating...we've been loving on Mr. T's new baby sister, Miss A.

Easter is this weekend, and we just happened to be on the letter E. So E is for Egg!

Supplies needed: construction paper, markers, scissors, and glue



Before starting, I cut out a large E and an egg from construction paper. Then I allowed Mr. T to decorate the egg with markers. We reviewed color names while doing this.



After he had finished decorating the egg, he glued the E to the Egg and we were finished.

D is for Door

Today's letter was D. There are so many options to do with D, but I chose door.



Supplies needed: cup of water, water color paints, construction paper, scissors, glue stick, and stapler.



I cut a letter D and a rectangle about the same size as it from construction paper. I then let Mr. T paint the rectangle (door) with water colors.

We glued the D on the paper. Then I stapled the door over the D since staples could withstand opening and closing better than glue.



Mr. T loved opening and closing the door!

C is for Corn

Today, we worked on the letter C. Tuck loves to eat corn on the cob (and I had some in the freezer) so it was an easy choice.



Supplies needed: construction paper, glue, yellow paint, paper plate, and corn.

Cut a letter C from paper before allowing your child to glue the letter to the construction paper.



Roll the corn in the yellow paint and then roll it on the paper.



As I have mentioned before, Tuck hates having his hands dirty. We are trying to let him know that it isn't going to hurt him, so I'm encouraging him to get his hands dirty as much as possible. Today was not the day that he was going to be OK with it! He got a little bit on his fingers, and he was finished! I finished painting for him to show him that it was alright before showing him that the paint washes right off. Oh, well! Another day!

B is for Ball

Today, we worked on the letter B. There were so many options for B, so I chose another one of Tuck's favorite things: a ball.

Supplies needed: construction paper, glue stick, pom poms, and crayons.



1. Mommy cut a B from a sheet of construction paper.

2. Child can glue the B on another sheet of paper before gluing on the pom poms and coloring the paper.

A is for Apple

Today we had fun with the letter A. Tucker loves apples, so I automatically decided to paint with apples.



Supplies needed: construction paper, an apple, a knife (for mommy's use only), a paper plate, glue, and red paint.

1. Mommy: Cut out a letter A.



2. Kiddo: Glue the letter to paper.

3. Mommy: Cut the apple and pour out paint.

4. Kiddo: Stamp the apple onto the paper over and over again.



Tucker loved gluing the A on the paper and loved painting at first. Mr. T has a major phobia of having anything on his hands. Once he got some paint on his hands he was finished!
