Sorting Animals

Posted on by domesticgoddess

A level up version of the sorting activity.

I love how Caleb could read the word ZOO (it’s one of our sight word) all by himself 🙂 

He sorted the dinosaurs pretty fast.
The animals were trickier to sort (If you really think about it, all the animals could really be in the zoo).
Critical thinking test…

Caleb made animal sounds while sorting.
He would say to the animals, “You should be here.”
I guess he enjoyed pretending to be the zookeeper.
When he made a mistake, he would self-correct himself and say, “Oh sorry! This should be here.”
How did you become so smart?
Gotta love this kid 🙂

Alphabet Matching

Posted on by domesticgoddess

Simple and easy matching activity.
I used materials that were readily available at home:

1. baking tray
2. alphabet magnets
3. paper with alphabet outlines (used colored pencil to trace the letters onto the paper)

I wanted to do this activity because Caleb pretty much memorized the his store-bought alphabet puzzles—since these were in order from A-Z.

I mixed up the letters .

Caleb would sound out the letters as he would match them.

Alphabet stickers

Caleb gets an alphabet to stick on to the paper if he can make the alphabet sound/give a word that begins with the alphabet. If your kid loves stickers. This is a great way to motivate them to review/learn the alphabet. Who says learning can’t be fun?
