We finally finished our cardboard Alphabet letters will post pics of some of my faves (L for Lego and U for underwear) having trouble thinking of something for V and Y any suggestions? Anyway for X we did a treasure hunt X marks the spot game ( just hid little X's all over the house to find) after we painted our X and learned its sound.
For Easter we made these great grocery sack bunnies so simple just stuff one grocery sack with a bunch of sacks, tie the top (ears) and rubber band the middle. Then add eyes, nose and whiskers with furry balls and pipe cleaners or whatever you have on hand googly eyes maybe? Super cute little fellas!
A while back we did an amazing project that I saw on a blog (I think it was adventures in unschooling) any who we tweaked it a little and made our own game. I think you could either call it Plink o or Pinball. We started out with a scrap piece of would used our math skills to measure two inch squares on the board. Then we pounded nails at all the crossroads of our lines then the fun began with our rubber bands pulling and twisting and stretching them all over our board to form different paths for our ball to go down. We used gum balls for our game pieces rather than marbles since we still have a baby in the house plus our rules were if you made your gum ball get through the maze you got to eat it! An intensive project that was unique and so much fun!
This fall we started our Alphabet letters again this time focusing on not only the letter but the sound it makes. All the while relating it to books and real life objects when possible. We read books about planes, played with planes, made paper towel and tin foil planes and then put together a wooden plane with Daddy.
