Letter CD and cd templates

Each week we have a special "letter of the week". 
During the week, we make crafts that feature the letter of the week and practice the upper and lower cases of the letter. 

WHAT WE DO - ACTIVITIES:  During the week we're learning about a particular letter (in this case the Letter C), we'll often do an activity celebrating that letter.  Some ideas for the letter C are going to the circus, visiting a cave, cooking or making crafts.

If you don't have a circus in town, you can make your own.  The kids can pretend to be circus performers (Tasha was the lion tamer and her 2 year old sister was the lion... we didn't allow whips!)  Try our Circus crafts to set the mood!

If you don't have a cave near by, you can make your own.  Set up 4 chairs.  Drape blankets over the top, leaving an opening for the cave entrance.  Or if it's nice outside, set up a tent in the backyard and pretend it's a cave.  Fill your homemade cave with appropriate occupants (teddy bears!)  For a bit of extra fun once it gets dark turn out the lights, turn on some flashlights and sing some songs or tell some "not too ssscary" stories.

WHAT WE DO - BODY:  Exercise is an important part of a child's (and grownup's) development.  With computers and television our bodies sometimes get neglected.  During C week we practiced Cartwheels - Daddy was the best!

WHAT WE DO - CRAFTS:  Make a picture of clouds on blue construction paper using cotton balls.  Do your craft for a couple of minutes and then practice your letters for a couple of minutes.  Watch the clouds with your kids all through C week to get ideas of all the different colours they can be.  You can dip the cotton into watered down paint to make pink sunset clouds or grey storm clouds.  You can use cotton balls coloured this way instead of crayons to colour in many pictures or crafts.

WHAT WE DO - FOOD:  For Daddy and the girls, C week was almost too good to be true.  Candy, cookies, cake, chocolate, cupcakes, cotton candy... ack!  Mommy tried her best to push the carrots and celery, but it was rough going ("Mommy, doesn't celery start with an "S", Tasha asked suspiciously).  Anyways, if you like to bake with your kids, chocolate chip cookies are a good pick for this week.  And if you want to join me in an attempt to keep these weeks nutritious, try making ants on a log (spread cheese whiz on celery and decorate with raisons).
