Lately this little girl has been into playing prince and princesses. I thought it would be a great idea to pull that into our learning but I didn't want to wait until we got to letter P. So I started to think of things that began with letter C that tied into that same theme and I came up with castles and crowns.
The first thing we did was paint a castle using a celery stick because it makes a letter C.
Here is a link to the coloring page we used.

| Just look at that happy face. |

| Sadly most of the C's are backwards. |
This was a great activity because it helped with recognizing the colors and shapes. It was also a great way to practice coloring and staying in the lines. Something we really need to work on!
I found this page here but you have to scroll down a little ways and then I just saved the image to my computer and then printed it out using word.
Then we drew our own castle complete with a prince and princess.
Every castle needs a princess! And you can't have a princess without a crown, so that is what we did for our next activity. Our crown template can be found here. The best part of this project was using the glitter glue! It was a big hit.
Then we built a castle for all the princess dolls.
We also read a couple of castle books including our favorite "The Paperbag Princess". It is such a cute book!
