Letter Matching Game

I was going through a closet and I came across this game I had made for Colton when he was learning his letter. This is such and easy and inexpensive game to make for you children to learn their Upper and Lower case letters.

Take you child's favorite cookie cutter and trace it on to a piece of cardboard to make a pattern. Then trace the pattern on construction paper or poster board. Trace and cut out 52 shapes. Then write the a letter on each shape. One set of upper case and one set of lower case. Now match them.


For my 2 older kids, I cut out 52 mittens and put the letters on them. Then I hung a clothes line in the house and had them match each set. They would the hang the set on the clothes line with clothes pins. They loved this game.

Super Easy Volcanos

Image
I love this project it is so easy and only takes a short amount of prep time. Cheyanne loves making the volcano erupt. We used: plastic plate, plastic cup, aluminium foil, tape, vinegar, baking soda and red food coloring. Tape the bottom of the cup to the center of the plate. Cover with aluminium foil. Cut a hole in the center of the foil and push the edges down in the cup. Spoon in some baking soda. Pour in the vinegar. Watch it erupt.

Fall Toilet Paper Roll Tree

This is a great craft for even young children. I think it turned out so cute. You will need: Red, yellow and orange paint, scissors, toilet paper roll, and green construction paper (or card stock). Cut the green paper into the shape of the tree top. Use fingerprints dipped in the paint as Fall leaves. Cut 2 slits down, across from each other on the toilet paper roll. Slide tree top into those slits.

If you Dad is into fishing I think this would be a great Father's Day Card for the kids to make. We used: Fish Coloring Page , tissue paper or crepe paper (cut up into sqares), glue, construction paper, wiggly eye, and a marker. Glue on pieces of the tissue paper and eye to the coloring page. Cut out the fish pattern. Glue on to folded construction paper. Write," Fishing You a Happy Father's Day !!!!" Cheyanne made one for her daddy and one for God.
