One activity you might want to consider is to glue dried beans around the edge of blue or black construction paper as a frame for this template (we glued Brown Beans around white paper and colored the B's blue and brown):

• Print the template and color in the B b.  Point out to the child which is the capital B and which is the lowercase.
   
• Point out that Black (or Blue) begins with Bb
      
• Point out that Bb is for Bean
    
• Glue the Beans around the edge of the construction paper.  
    
• If you have two or three different types of dried beans you can practice patterns.  Let the child come up with a pattern they like and then ask them to repeat the pattern all the way around the frame)
    
• Let dry.
    
• Remember to color in your letters.  Throughout the alphabet lessons, use a variety of mediums for coloring the letters (crayons, pencil crayons, markers, pens, pastels water color paints, tempra paints, finger paints, etc)
    
• EITHER:
  • Fold the construction paper in half and cut a rectangle out of it so you're left with a 1 or 2 inch frame
    OR
  • Cut the Bb letters out of the template and glue them onto the construction paper
      

• Whenever I do these projects with Kaitlyn, I get to draw pictures of words that start with the letter and then she gets to color them.  Don't stress about your drawing skills... the kids will love watching you draw!  Letter B words I drew were ball, banana, bubbles, bear, bumblebee, butterfly, bird, brown bean.
