Letter H: Ball in the Hole Alphabet Game, Letter H Book, Letter H Handprint Art (hen), Letter H Music Time (Day 1)

1) Ball in the Hole Alphabet Game: I found a similar idea on Mom Inspired Life.

• Paper Towel Rolls
• Tape
• 26 Balls (bouncy balls or ping pong balls)
• Permanent Marker

1. Write letter A-Z on your balls. 
2. Tape paper towel rolls onto the wall, to create a ball run. 
3. Have your child pick a ball from a basket, identify the letter and drop it down the hole. 

2) Letter H Book from The Measured Mom: I printed this book from the Measured Mom blog. It has eight simple pictures - one side has a Letter H and the other side has a picture (see below). Easton enjoys these little books. Below is a sample page.

3) Handprint Art (Hen): After reading "Hungry Hen", we made a Red Handprint Hen. I tried to help Easton draw feet and a beak, but next time I'll probably cut out feet and a beak from orange paper and have him glue them on.

4) Letter H Music Time: Easton loved watching renditions of all these songs on Youtube. 

• Humpty Dumpty: Hold up these Humpty Dumpty Pictures (from the Measure Mom) while your child shakes egg shakers (eggs filled with rice or beans, and taped closed). Optional: Draw faces on the egg shakers. 

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

All the king's horses 

And all the king's men

Couldn't put Humpty together again.

• Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes: Use actions as you sing this song. Sing slow, fast, sticking your tongue out, spinning, etc.

Head, shoulders, knees, and toes

Knees and toes

Knees and toes

Head, Shoulders, knees, and toes

Eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

• Hickory Dickory Dock: You'll need a homemade clock, box or laundry basket, and 12 stuffed animals. 

1. Make a simple clock out of card stock (laminate if desired) and place 12 velcro dots around the clock where the numbers go. 
2. Print and cut out numbers 1-12 (laminate if desired) and attach velcro to the back of the number cards. 
3. Tape the clock to the front of a cardboard box or laundry basket (this acts as the clock). 
4. As you sing this song, place number one on the clock and let your child choose an animal to use. Sing the song together, having your child help the animal up and down the clock. Put number two on the clock, choose an animal and sing the song. Repeat until you're toddler is ready for something new or until you have all 12 numbers on the clock.
