Preschool Corner Letter D

 D is 4 1/2 years old

.

We started the week with our Kumon cut and paste book. I did the cutting this week.

D loves to do mazes so we did a few different mazes this week. He is really good at them.
Then we practiced his writing his letter “D”.

He colored the hidden object. It turned out to be a dinosaur but he was able visualize that on his own before he colored it in.
He played a lot with our Dinosaur Sensory Tub.
He also enjoyed using the trays I set out for A and so I plan on setting out a few trays for him next week too.

He loved the water pouring activity except I definitely need to use a glass bottle for the water or fill up the bottom of the plastic bottle with water to make it more sturdy.

He really enjoyed this circle punch tray. He was able to align each circle correctly but the difficult part was squeezing it. I think that was hard because I printed these sheets out on card stock. I have this as a free printable on my tot tray blog post.

My printable letter D Activity was perfect for this week! It featured a build the Uppercase “D” Dinosaur and a lowercase dotted “d”

I printed this mitten colors magnet story from childcareland. It is sung to the tune of “brown bear brown bear what do you see?”  It was a fun way to reinforce colors.
We did letter of the week activities from Confessions of a Homeschooler

He played Rush Hour Jr which is one of his favorite games right now. It is a strategy and thinking game. You have to move all the cars out of the way so the ice cream truck can get away before the ice cream melts. The cars can only move forward and backwards.  I was surprised by how much he enjoys this game as well as how good he is at it. I think this game is for ages 6 and up but D is 4 and he is almost done with the beginner cards so its definitely suited to younger kids.
