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.
I bought wall decals for Caleb’s room.
I couldn’t bring myself to throw away the paper backing without using it!
Recycle, reuse and reduce 🙂
Big pieces of paper = body tracing!
I used a pencil to trace Caleb’s body onto the paper.
He’s tracing the lines and drawing on his face and hands in these pictures.
When Caleb got tired drawing, I gave him parts of the face to stick onto the head.
This was a wonderful review for body parts! I just drew the eyes, eyebrows, ears, and nose on sticker paper using a Sharpie.
For the mouth and heart, I used red paper and put double-sided tape on the back. I made the mouth U-shape so Caleb could put whether he was happy or sad. This was a great way to check on feelings. I’m glad to know that he felt happy 🙂
Caleb drew hair on himself.
This was a fun practice for drawing lines!
He stickered his feet for shoes 🙂
Traced his name onto the paper.
He wanted to paint his face like a dog before taking a picture with the final product. He’s supposed to be Blue in Blues Clues.
Tada!
Do you like to keep ribbons from presents that you’ve received? I have a whole tin box full of ribbons that I cannot bear to throw away.
The ribbons just keep on coming and I already have a hard time keeping the box lid on. So I thought of this activity to put those ribbons to good use 🙂
Cut up some ribbons and used them for a matching/sorting activity.
Here are some pictures of Caleb at work.
