In honor of Valentine’s day we studied the letter H for the past two weeks.  We did lots of heart activities and Mikayla can now proudly write the letter H!  She draws it everywhere – in coloring books, in the dirt, in the air, on her chalkboard…everything includes an H.  Too bad it isn’t in her name because she can’t write any of those letters yet!  We are taking a week or two break from school because we are traveling with Ben to meetings and then hanging with him before he leaves on March 5 to head to the states.  We will pick back up with a Dr. Seuss theme for a couple of weeks when we return to Toddler School.  If anyone has fun ideas, we would love to hear them!  Here are some of our H activities.

Letter H and Mililwane 002

H is for hearts – used heart shape stickers to stick all over the H.

Letter H and Mililwane 005

She found the matching letter stamp and stamped the correct letter.  Turns out this kid LOVES stamps!  She wanted to use them everyday.

Letter H and Mililwane 006

Heart color sorting.  We also used these hearts and sorted big and small and rolled the dice to count out that many hearts.

Letter H and Mililwane 010

Torn paper name.  She had a blast gluing the small pieces of paper onto her letters.  She even did a great job of tracing the written letter with the glue.

H is for hands.  We also made a special craft with some of her hands to send to some family members in the states (didn’t take a picture though because I didn’t want to ruin the surprise).

Here are some more heart activities from top to bottom – Heart man, heart collage with leftover hearts from other activities, and heart name.

Our food activity for the week was making heart shaped cookies to pass out to staff members on Valentine’s day.  As usual, she had a blast rolling out the dough and cutting out the cookies!
