H is for House

We decided to carry on the H theme into another week, since we didn't get all our activities done last week, and for some reason Haven started saying "eeee" for H! But we are back on track now. :) We played the matching hearts game again, and then we turned a big blue letter H into a house for our craft:

 

Then we got out the uncooked spaghetti noodles and sugar shaker...

 

 She was concentrating very hard :)

Then we got out our newly refilled sensory tub...rainbow rice has been replaced with split peas and lentils:

H - Thursday

Today was kind of a low key day, and yesterday we ran out of time for tot time. Today we put pom poms onto circles outlining the letter H and a HIPPO of course, then glued together a hippo picture. We also practiced putting pipe cleaners thru tiny holes in a new sugar shaker. The plan was to use uncooked spaghetti noodles with this activity, but apparently we need to get some more the next time we are at the grocery store. :)

Gotta love the tongue sticking out in concentration in this one :)

H week - Tuesday

Today we did some heart activities for the letter H! We looked at our flashcards and H book again, played a heart matching game, colored a heart, and put pipecleaners into a sugar canister as an extra fun activity.

Haven really impressed mommy while playing the matching heart game! She caught on very quickly and did very well, and she really liked that activity. Putting pipe cleaners in the sugar shaker has always been a favorite as well!

Letter H - Day One

We have started back on the "Tot School" wagon this week, and are getting into the alphabet. Instead of starting with the letter A, we will be starting with the letters in Haven's name, so this week we will focus on the letter "H".
We made an "Alphabet Tree" to put each letter on:

No picture with the little lady, as she was throwing a fit at the time because she wanted to color the (laminated) H!

We dot painted the upper & lowecase H. I wasn't sure she would grasp the concept of painting in the dots, but she caught on right away and loved it:

We practiced our lacing on a big Hippo!

We also read a couple books, and got out the alphabet puzzle:

And got out the Letter Factory DVD, that we watched on the computer since the DVD player isn't working, but Haven clearly didn't mind. :)
