Letter W: Watercolor Alphabet, Songs, Handprint Art (Whale), Window Markers, Booklist
Watercolor & Crayon Resist Alphabet: To review the alphabet as a whole this week, we used watercolors to go along with our W theme. I used a medicine lid and markers to outline 26 circles on a piece of large, white paper. Inside the circles, I wrote one letter of the alphabet with a white crayon. Easton painted the circles with water colors to reveal a letter of the alphabet. He identified each letter and reviewed a lot of colors as well. Use this activity with numbers, shapes, etc.
Letter W Songs: I found our Letter W Songs from the measured mom blog. Our favorites were: W is for Watermelon, Wheels on the Bus, and W is for Woman (There was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe). We reviewed this songs every day this week.
Handprint Art (Whale): Easton has always loved whales, so I knew he'd be excited about a whale art project! I saw a similar idea on Pinterest from mommy minutes.
Window Markers: I bought our Window Markers a while ago to use on a rainy day, and thought they'd be perfect for our Letter W week! I mostly let Easton color with them, but we did review our Letter W, shapes and some other letters along the way. I kept the markers on the counter during the week, so Easton could enjoy them all week. We had a lot of fun with these! Note: These came off from the window very easily with a wet wipe.
Letter W Booklist: I found our Letter W Booklist on the measured mom blog. From the selection I could find at our library, these were our favorites: I Went Walking, Where the Wild Things Are, Mrs. Wishy Washy, Wings on Things, The Wind Blew, and the Watermelon Seed.
Bus Craft from I heart Crafty Things: I printed out pictures of me, my husband, Easton and Connor to use as the driver/passengers on the bus. After gluing all the pieces onto our bus, Easton chose where our family pictures belonged. Looks like dad is the driver. Easton loved this craft!
