I’ve decided since we are stuck indoors anyways to start teaching letter sounds to my 3 yo. He already knows all of the capital letters and how to spell his name so I’m working on the sounds and lower case letters. Each day we work on a different letter. We do a craft/ activity starting with the letter and make a snack/treat. Thought I would share this in case any other mamas (or dads) are struggling with entertainment.
A- apple donuts (cut apples into rings, dip in chocolate and add sprinkles), paint with apples
B- banana bread, bubble painting (put bubble solution and food coloring in cup, give toddler straw and blow bubbles, pop the bubbles on a piece of paper)
C- c shaped sugar cookies, cut paper snowflakes
D- donuts (I’m being optimistic about being this ambitious it may be a complete fail), dinosaur shadow tracing (place lamp by dinosaurs to create shadow on paper, let toddler trace the shadow)
E- éclairs (again trying to be optimistic it will work), elephant paper bag puppets
F- fruit leather, finger painting
G- goldfish crackers, gingerbread paper kid (create a cut out paper person for toddler to decorate with yarn, extra fabric, googling eyes, etc)
H- hummus, hats made out of paper
I- ice cream, box/ pillow igloos
J- juice, jumping obstacle course
K- kettle corn, king (paper crown)
L- laughing cow cheese spread and crackers, lion mask (made out of construction paper and paper plate)
M- muffins, marble art (put a few spots of paint on a piece of paper in a box and put some marbles in the box, roll the marbles around to spread the paint)
N- naan, noodle necklaces (string hollow noodles on yarn)
O- Oreos, scrap octopus (octopus made from fabric scraps)
P- popsicles, play-doh
Q- quesadilla, quilt for stuffed animals (made from paper or fabric)
R- Rice Krispies, rabbit made from socks and stuffing
S- scones, straw painting (similar to marble art but instead of using marbles use straws to blow the paint around)
T- tarts, tea party
U- upside down cake, color umbrella picture
V- veggie chips, volcano (baking soda and vinegar volcano)
W- waffles, wands (sticks with ribbon glued to it)
