Letter A: List of Supplies

I have really enjoyed doing a Letter of the Week series with Easton! He has LEARNED so much and we have had a lot of FUN along the way. I have loved having a variety of activities to do at home, especially when we felt stuck inside during the winter months. I started the series when Easton was 18 months old, which is also about the time I had another baby. It was so nice having a few things planned to do with Easton each day, while my newborn napped at home in the morning. Between holidays and my energy level in finding and planning activities, it took me almost a year to complete the series. I am now putting together a list of supplies for each letter to save other moms the hassle of doing it! A lot of the items listed below you will buy once and be able to use for multiple letters in our Letter of the Week Series. For instance, the plastic sensory bin you'll only buy once, although you will use almost every week. The options are endless for what you'd like to do with your child. Maybe you'd like to do the entire series, choose three of your favorite days or perhaps you're only looking for a quick sensory activity to do at home. Either way, I hope you enjoy these activities as much as we do!

The numbers next to the items refer to the day you'll be using them.
