Letter of the Week: D is for Duck

April 22, 2023July 22, 2015 by Stephanie Oswald

D Is For Duck Craft: Lately we have been working our way through our letter of the week crafts. While I am not personally a fan of focusing on one letter for an entire week, these simple crafts are a ton of fun for getting kids exploring letters.

Is your word wall starting to take form? Yay! Are you ready for this weeks letter of the week? This week we are going to be learning about the letter D. Quack, quack. Let me ask you, do you have memories of going to the park with your parents and feeding the ducks bread? I recall many memories of watching others feed the ducks when we’d go swimming at the local river.

C is for Cat Craft: Lately we have been working our way through our letter of the week crafts. While I am not personally a fan of focusing on one letter for an entire week, these simple crafts are a ton of fun for getting kids exploring letters.

Your child is going to love learning about the letter C while creating an awesome cat. Remember, encourage your child to be as creative as they’d like while learning about the letter C. You don’t have to use all that I did, or anything that I am using. Appeal to your child’s wants and desires. The C can be transformed to a princess cat, and be made from lace, or your child’s cat can turn into a superhero with a cape made of ~~leather~~ dark plastic. The possibilities are endless! Now, who said learning won’t be fun?

Phone Number Bracelets {That Kids Can Make}!

April 8, 2016June 22, 2015 by Stephanie Oswald

The final school bells have rung, the heat is rising, and the days are getting longer. Summer is officially here! While summer is a chance to kick back and soak up some quality family time, it also is an incredibly busy season for many families. It’s amazing just how many activities can be packed into those three months!

When your family is on the go keeping up with everyone (and everything) can be a bit of a headache. To add some simplicity to our life our kids wear these easy DIY phone number bracelets and carry a Verizon cell whenever we are out and about!

One of the first things that we do every summer is design our phone number bracelets for the year. Ever since the year that we almost lost Livia in a crowd at Sea World, my kids have been required to wear these whenever we are out and about. Due to the wear and tear of these we replace them every summer.

Letter of the Week: B is for Bee Craft

April 22, 2023April 15, 2015 by Stephanie Oswald

B is for Bee Craft: Lately we have been working our way through our letter of the week crafts. While I am not personally a fan of focusing on one letter for an entire week, these simple crafts are a ton of fun for getting kids exploring letters.

There are many ways this craft can be done, so don’t feel like you have to follow these instructions to a T. We used construction paper when doing our craft because Meatball is all about working on his scissor skills. Other alternatives could be paint and cardstock, washi tape, or even glue and pom-poms.

Letter of the Week: A is for Apple Craft

April 22, 2023April 6, 2015 by Stephanie Oswald

A is for Apple Craft: Young kids will love creating this simple apple craft while working on their fine motor skills and exploring the letter a.

This is a great activity to help improve fine motor skills. If your child is not quite ready for working on their scissor skills there are many different ways that you could do this craft. Some alternatives are: tearing and gluing construction paper, using paintbrushes, or even do-a-dot markers.
