Preschool Corner: Letter Ff

This was my last week working with the co-op kids, so next week it'll be my own kiddos that you see here. :) Back to normal ~ as much as that actually happens around these part!

While I have been going alphabetically up to this point, next week I'm going to start mixing it up a bit and skipping around the alphabet.

Just for fun {and to most likely drive myself and others crazy}. I haven't decided if I'm going to let you all in on my rough plan of what we'll be studying...because then that means I have to stick to it and there are times that that just doesn't happen!

If you're new here or linking up for the first time, be sure to let us know!! Leave a comment and say hi ~ I'd love to stop by and visit you!

Here's how our week with the letter F worked out. If you need some more ideas, be sure to check out this post I did earlier with different ideas to use in your home along with some printables.

Alphabet Book

We made a 'fire' with a marshmallow to toast for our alphabet page this week.

You'll Need:

• Red, yellow and orange tissue paper cut into small squares
• Brown construction paper
• Brown pipe cleaner
• Cotton ball
• Letter F alphabet page
  
• Glue
  

To Make:

{Note: I cut out the pieces ahead of time since we have a short amount of time and a lot to do ~ otherwise I would recommend letting the kids cut out their own pieces as much as possible!}

1. Cut the tissue paper into 2" squares and the brown construction paper into rectangles to make 'logs'.

2. Push the pipe cleaner through the marshmallow as best you can {you might need to help out with this part, since ours were a little tough to do}.

3. Have your child glue the logs into an 'X' shape to make a wood pile to build their fire. Crumple up the tissue paper and glue it above the logs to make a fire.

4. Glue the marshmallow on the stick to the alphabet page.

Songs and Rhymes

Two Feet Song
{to the tune of 'Sally has a red shirt'....well, I think that's the tune...}

I can walk with two feet, two feet, two feet,
I can walk with two feet, all day long.

I can jump with two feet...

I can run with two feet...
I can march with two feet...
I can skip with two feet...
I can slide with two feet...

Additional Resources

Feelings ~ Can you guess how these kiddos are feeling? Sleepy. Confused. Scared. Surprised. Angry. The kids had a blast acting out the feelings cards that I used from Carisa over at 1+1+1=1. You can download a bunch of great activities on feelings on her site.

Stories & Books We Used:

I know. There's a LOT of Froggie books in this line-up. But I LOVE Froggie. Really, I do ~ and the kids do too!
