Letter of the week: Hh

We practiced the letter H before we went on vacation to MN and I never got around to posting our activities.  Unfortunately, I totally forgot to take a picture of the books we used before they were returned to library.  

H is for Horse

Mia has been showing some interest in writing lately and when a child shows interest in something it is the perfect time to practice!  I found these adorable prewriting sheets which Mia thought were really fun.

She did such a great job following the directions to make an H!  I quickly snapped a picture because I had a feeling the rest of the sheet wouldn't be so neat.  After she practiced a few H's, she scribbled all over the whole sheet.  I just let her do her thing because I want her to enjoy learning and don't want it to be a negative time.

This horse project was super fun and pretty simple to make.  I had intentions of make a lower case h version but we never got around to it.

 H is for Hippopotamus 

Painting her hippo.  

 Coloring with Sissy while the hippo was drying.

After the paint dried...we put the hippo together.  Mia loved this project and still enjoys admiring her purple hippo!

 We added googly eyes instead of using the paper ones on the printable. Also, it works best to print this on card stock.

H is for Heart

 We made a heart stamper out of a toilet paper roll.  This is a great project for young toddlers since the toilet paper roll is so easy to hold.

 H is for hands.

We took the last two week off since we have been traveling, but will start back up next week with the letter E.
