ABC Adventures – Letter D Part 2

Welcome to our ABC Adventures. If you are new here and would like to learn more about ABC Adventures and how to join in, please see the information at the end of this post.

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!
