Preschool-Letter B

My letter of the week posts this time around are not going to be as organized as last time.  When three little ones are fingerprinting, cutting, gluing, etc. it's just not easy to take a bunch of pictures.  Plus, we are all having so much fun that by the time I remember to take a picture, we are on to the next thing.

This week we focused on the letter Bb, number 3, and the color yellow.

The girls had so much fun doing water play with yellow dyed water, rubber duckies, and lots toys for pouring, scooping, and measuring.  I simply added yellow food coloring to dye the water- I was a little nervous it would stain their clothes and toys but it was diluted enough that there wasn't a trace of yellow on anything.

B is for Bee (and buzz)

Mia and Kennedy made this adorable Bumble B from No Time For Flashcards.  

Naomi loves being a part of the big girls club!  When she gets overwhelmed with the project we are doing, she goes to the reading area and reads books- gosh, I love her.

We put shaving cream, blue food dye, and yellow food dye in a gallon size zip-loc to make the color green.  Mia is really into mixing colors right now so this was super fun for her.

B is for Butterflies

The girls colored bow tie pasta (so great for fine motor strength) and we pretended they were butterflies.

Since we were talking about butterflies, we drove to the other end of town to go to the Butterfly Pavilion. This bee hive was definitely a favorite for the girls; we came back to watch the bees several times.

B is for Ballerina

This week we also had a little ballerina playdate. Mia, my little party planner, decorated the house, the girls wore their ballet outfits, and did some ballerina projects.  Somehow, I didn't take one picture! 

Here are Mia's ballerina projects from the party.

And, our favorite book about Ballet, Bea at Ballet.  This book is perfect for toddlers and preschoolers who are interested in ballet/dancing.
