This week, we celebrated Australia Day so we only managed to squeeze in a few letter d activities.
For our Baking Day, Connor and I baked letter D and Dinosaur biscuits. Connor really enjoyed rolling the dough out, using the cookie cutters, and eating the biscuits.
I was planning to do a sensory table where Connor would have to dig for and find dinosaur bones. Instead, I used Connor’s small dinosaurs and hid them in his sandpit. He loved finding the dinosaurs and, when he found all the dinosaurs, he as me to bury them again. Then he put the dinosaurs in his doll’s pram and took them for a walk around the garden.
For our Craft Day, we made a paper plate duck. As a way to reinforce the letter d, we made the mouth out of a letter D.
Also, we talked about dogs and how there are different types of dogs. Then, Connor worked on his Types of Dogs puzzle.
Lastly, we played with Diggers and Connor’s Digger Men. Connor has really become fascinated with transferring activities. When I don’t have such an activity ready for him, he walks around with his plastic tongs or tweezers and uses them in place of his hands. Sometimes, he will create his own transfer activity such as the one below where he is transferring his Digger Men from one basket to the other basket.
This concludes our letter d activities. Next week, I will be introducing the letter h. Our main theme will be hearts as we prepare for Valentine’s Day. In the meantime, please link up and share your ABC Adventures!

Last week, we completed our first Valentine’s Day craft. This was a very simple craft which can be done with very young toddlers.
Materials Required
Instructions
Cut a heart out of the red paper. Then, using the white paint, have your child place handprints on the heart. Once the heart is covered with handprints, hang your heart up to let the paint dry. This activity is great for introducing hearts as a shape and the colours red and white.

Last week, Connor was sick for several days. This week, Sarah has started teething with two tiny teeth breaking through on the bottom gum at the same time. Hence, again our week has not gone according to plan. Nevertheless, we got a lot done and had lots of fun doing the activities.
Most of the activities that we did this week focused on dinosaurs. To introduce the letter d to Connor, we stomped dinosaur footprints on to the letter d using paint and toy dinosaurs.
One of Connor’s favourite activities was to create a dinosaur from different shapes. I got this simple idea from No Time for Flashcards. Connor was quick to point out that the dinosaur we created resembled a Stegosaurus.
On another day, we created a dinosaur puppet using a paper plate. I cut up a picture of a long-necked dinosaur into four parts which included the neck and head, the front part of the body, the back part of the body, and the tail. Then, I stapled the parts on to a folded paper plate. Connor decorated the dinosaur using left over bits from our Monster collage materials. Following this, I simple attached some string by tying some knots around the holes and a popsicle stick.
Other dinosaur related activities included making dinosaurs from play dough using dinosaur cookie cutters, completing a dinosaur puzzle, and creating a scene with dinosaur stickers.
In addition to integrating the dinosaurs in his play this week, Connor has been pretending to be a doctor. He systematically uses each of the tools in his doctor’s kit to check his teddies and dolls and ends each check-up with a shot.
Next week, we are going to continue with letter d activities. We still have some dinosaur related activities, as well as some duck crafts, baking, and various learning centers (if I have enough time to laminate the materials) to get through. In the meantime, please link up and share your ABC Adventures!
