D is for Daisy

Daisy starts with D.

Addy was being a little restless today so I decided that we needed to do some fun activities.  Since it was raining outside we quickly came up with some letter crafts.

Here is her daisy d.  We didn't have any of the right colors of foam to make an actual daisy so we just made up our own.  I just have to add that Addy's cutting/scissor skills have improved greatly! 

I found this activity with a quick search on google.  We ended up simplifying it quite a bit just to work with the skills of a 3 year old.

 She was pretty happy with how it turned out.

 This was another one that we found that we actually had the supplies for.  Addy really liked bending the pipe cleaner around so we ended up making several of these cute flowers. 

D is for Dinosaur

We started the letter Dd and today we focused on Dinosaurs.

After reading several books about dinosaurs, we made our own dinosaur D.

For this activity, addy worked on patterns.  I would start the pattern and she would have to finish it.  Then I just let her get creative and do her own for awhile.  There were also some other pages for finding things that are different and sequencing.  

This was one on counting.  I was really impressed that Addy could do this all on her own.

Preschool Daze had a lot of great ideas for our dinosaur theme but I liked this one the best.  Addy decorated a giant dinosaur using colorful shapes.  I had her tell me what the shape and color were before she glued them on.  I also had her count how many squares, circle, etc.  So this was a great learning activity!
