Letter E: Envelope Craft, Envelope Sorting, Letter to the Mailman, Letter E Pattern Block (Day 3)

1) Envelope Craft from No Time for Flashcards: This was a fun way to review the Letter E. You'll need:

• Four long envelopes 
• Crayons (markers would work as well)
• Glue
• Construction Paper (color of choice)

1. Have your child color all four envelopes.
2. Help your child glue the envelopes onto a piece of construction paper, making a letter E.
3. Ask your child to identify the letter.

2) Envelope Sorting from Toddler Approved: I love this idea, because there are so many sorting options. We focused on colors, but you could also sort shapes, numbers, letters, animals, food groups, etc. My three loved pretending to be the mailman and sorting "letters" (construction paper squares, pictured in a bowl at the bottom of the page) into their matching envelopes.

3) Write a THANK YOU letter to the Mail Man from Preschool Alphabet: 

• Write "THANK YOU Mail Man!" on a piece of white paper and let your child decorate it with stickers, crayons, stamps, etc.
• Put the letter in an envelope and leave it in your mailbox for the mail man.  
• Note: We used ikea stamp markers to decorate a letter for our mailman. I was thinking my three would nicely stamp the markers, but he wanted to draw lines with them instead. I'm sure our mailman loved getting a letter!

4) Pattern Block E from Confessions of a Homeschooler: You can print the Letter E Pattern Block from the link provided. You'll need:

• Magnetic Foam Shapes 
• Magnetic Cookie Sheet
• Pattern Block E (print from link above)
• Envelope

1. Place only the shapes needed in an envelope.
2. Have your child draw a shape and place it on the Pattern Block E.
3. Talk about the shapes as you play.
