Letter K

We took the week of Thanksgiving off for preschool and then December rolled around and we are back into the swing of things. Letter K was a fun one with fun activities.

Monday we started off with a kangaroo craft where McCall got to do some cutting, gluing, and drawing.

I showed her of a video of a kangaroo and then she bounced around, jumping like a kangaroo.

Then for Monday's activity, she played with kinetic sand. She often plays with it daily so she enjoyed this one.

Tuesday was a simple day and she created a king craft out of the uppercase K. First she colored the block letter K, then cut out the crown, and last, she put jewel stickers on the crown for the final touch.

Wednesday was a fun kite day. First, she made a kite out of a paper towel roll. She colored it and we taped streamers to the end and a yarn handle to the other side.

Then first she tried her kite out in the family room.

Then she tried it out in the backyard. She wanted to take turns with me and it was fun to see the joy in her face with just a simple, handmaid kite that you have to run around to get it to fly.

Then I had different shapes and colors of kites cut out into four pieces and she had to match them all together. We talked about which ones are big or small and what colors the kites were.

Then she picked a few of the kites and glued them together on her paper for display.

Thursday, she first painted with a knife. I didn't focus on knife too much since it doesn't have the "k" sound but she had fun especially mixing all the colors together.

Then we made some Rice Krispy treats.

And last, she did kitchen play. I gave her some bowls with flour and sugar and some measuring spoons, bowls, and a whisk to have some fun with.

Friday she did a simple kiwi craft. I cut out the letter K and glued it all together and then we looked at a picture of a kiwi so she could see the seeds. Then she used her finger and black stamp ink to make the seeds on her kiwi.

Our last activity for our letter K, was matching kisses. I taped lots of things that start with the letter K and taped them on the bottom of candy kisses. We then played memory to match them all up and then of course we enjoyed eating some of the kisses.
