Okay, so only the frog is a foot print... you could definitely make Frankie from a foot print too! If you haven't yet tried painting your child's foot, you definitely should - but maybe I should give you a few tips first.
Number 1: You need wipes handy. You probably don't want those little feet running through the house spreading paint everywhere. Gather everything you need before you start!
Number 2: Work over a hard and washable floor surface.
Number 3: Sit in chairs facing each other. It's best if your child has a child sized chair (or a step stool or something else low to sit on).
Number 4: Give them a heads up that it might tickle - and be prepared to take the time to giggle and wiggle a little bit!
Number 5: Put the paper you want to print on down on the floor between you and your child, and know that their heel will be towards them, toes towards you. If you've written "F is for frog" on your page, you want the words to be facing you so the frog is right side up. Unless your child wants an upside down frog, in which case I say go for it!
Another fun letter Ff activity is to make a fall sensory bin.
It's possible that I am an overachiever, and that I had 15 years of teaching to collect all this junk treasure. Do what works for YOU! I had several scarecrow and pumpkin crafty looking things that students gave me over the years, so in they went. The green and orange leaf trays came from the dollar store, as did a giant red felt maple leaf. I had pompons on hand, and found the tiny pumpkins and leaves at a garage sale... You might have real fall leaves, mini pumpkins and pine cones, you could also use dry corn as a base for your bin. (I use feed corn and do it outside so squirrels and birds eat what we spill and it isn't wasted). Get creative - let your child help!
Click the link above to get full details, including the silly backstory, a link to a song you'll never get out of your head, credit for the idea, and a pattern for your own fish hats.
I keep thinking this hat would be a great reward system, if I had the children earn each scale. Try a new food? Get a scale. Cleaned your room? Get a scale. Used your manners? Get a scale! If there's something you've been working on with your little one, perhaps you can entice them to keep at it with a fish hat reward? Let me know if you try this, and how it goes!
Books
Of course we need books!! #AllTheBooks #IWantThem #PictureBooks #NotAddicted . I'm going to make this a list, because there are always too many for me to take pictures of... but not too many to read!
Have a wonderful week exploring the letter Ff with your child, and stop back next Sunday for ideas for Letter Gg!Hugs!
Are you feeling fabulous about Ff - and all the other letters so far? Preschool learning (and teaching!) is so much fun! Let's jump in and get started!
Make Friendship Fruit Salad
This is the easiest cooking activity EVER! Each year for the letter Ff I would ask each family to send in 1 piece of fruit. No need to assign apples here and bananas there - it truly doesn't matter which fruits you have, or what quantities! This is friendship fruit salad after all - we get to share the making and the eating with our friends.
Since fruit salad also doesn't need any actual cooking, the children can do all the steps! The first part of cooking is ALWAYS washing our hands. The children also washed their fruit, and then used butter knives to cut it up into small pieces. (I do core the apples and pears, and quarter them). Most fruit is soft enough that it is easy to cut with a butter knife, and this is a good time to teach children how to hold the fruit with one hand, and hold the knife with the other. Have a look at these little hands - they all have their index fingers pointed along the knife to help apply pressure, and their fingers safely back from the knife. This is a great early introduction to cutting, and lays the foundation for bigger cooking projects down the road.
Did I mention the eating part? Fruit salad is a healthy snack, and if you and your friends made it together, you know they all want to try it! There's seldom any left over either - this tasty treat gets gobbled right up!
Finding things that start with Ff in our feely box
I'm going to start with the classroom version of a feely box, but I also have a super easy at home version. If you're going to be teaching the letter Ff to a big group of children year after year you might prefer something more sturdy and more educational than if you're teaching your own child only.
My feely box for Ff was a shoe box in a previous life... until I covered it with flower photos, and lined it with fake fur, and filled it with fences, fires, flies, frogs and everything else I could find that starts with Ff.
Here we are taking turns reaching in and finding things that start with Ff to put next to our letter F, all the while making the f sound.
The at home super easy version of the feely box is just that - super easy!
Field trips
I've said it innumerable times, but I'll keep on saying it: children learn best through hands on experiences. If you can get out and explore the world, do. Talk about everything you're seeing, smelling, tasting, touching, hearing and thinking! Your child will learn the big words and big ideas you share with them, and you'll both have fun.
For the letter F some of my favorite suggestions are to go to a farm, see flamingos at the zoo, look for fish and frogs (at an aquarium or zoo, or at the pond), find a fountain and flowers at the botanical gardens. No botanical garden near you? Find a flower shop or just a pretty park! What other field trip ideas can you think of?
Fun on the farm from home
Even if you can't get to a real farm, you can bring out farm themed learning! Do you have a toy farm, or toy farm animals? Let your child sort them, or order them in height. Count how many horses - and find out if there are more sheep or cows.
I'm a huge fan of tangram puzzles, and have an adorable farm set that makes practicing shapes fun.
Make the letter F for your home-made alphabet.
Want to know a secret? It's not SO secret... but I had no idea what I was doing on a lot of my letter crafts when I first decided to do it. I'd seen a few ideas for some letters, and decided to go for the whole alphabet, but.... what to do? That's why the lower case letter f looks like I got into my craft supplies and found everything I could that starts with f: flowers, flamingos and feathers. The bits and bobs you have on hand, left over from long ago craft projects are GOLD to your child. Please don't feel like you have to reproduce someone else's ideas exactly, just do what works for you and your child. :-)
My upper case letter F started with a die cut frog years ago, and that was it - until I saw some plastic flies one Halloween, and bought up a teacher life time supply of them. The frog tongue has been a strip of paper, or a piece of ribbon - either way, our froggy is catching a fly, and it works. For more frog learning activities, hop over to my TeachersPayTeachers store here.
Sing songs
Have you caught on that this is an every week activity? There are always songs to sing, you can do it anywhere, it's free, and it makes you feel good. Let's sing!
That's enough to keep you and your little one super busy for about a month - but I have more letter Ff ideas, so come back on Wednesday for hand prints, a sensory bin, and some very silly fish hats! Until then, enjoy, and remember to tag me if you post about doing any of these activities on social media!

If you've been around my blog for long, you know how much I love children's picture books! It should come as no surprise that I have a list of recommendations for you - and here it is!
This book is delicious! Most books for the letter E are about either elephants or eggs, but this one is about eating vegetables. As always Ehlert's illustrations are gorgeous, and may even inspire your child to try collage art (or a new fruit)!
When the Emperor gives every child a seed, and promises rewards for the best plant grown with it, Ping plants his seed and cares for it carefully, but nothing grows. He feels awful taking his empty pot to show the Emperor, but what happens next is a wonderful surprise! Follow the book by planting and caring for seeds of your own!
Poor Edward the Emu is sick of the zoo, so he tries being other animals, only to discover that being himself suits him best... and it doesn't hurt that the zoo added a second emu, and her name is Edwina! Watch this book on YouTube or borrow it from your library.
I love Keith Baker's illustrations! Did you know he hides something in each picture? In this book every hen has the letters HEN hidden in her feathers - my son LOVED searching for it!
While you're talking about eggs, why not mention lots of egg laying (oviparous) animals that children might not know about? Here are a few of my favorites:
and all the other Elephant and Piggie books too. If you and your little ones haven't read these books yet, you are in for a treat! Elephant and Piggie are best friends in spite of being very different, and every child I've ever read these books with has been hooked! Mo Willems is brilliant at writing text that engages children and that they can read fairly early. Try your library for these, but be prepared to wait - my library cannot keep these on the shelves!
Mice? You thought I said elephant books? Ah, these 7 mice all meet an elephant, but touch different parts of it and have limited ideas of what an elephant is like. Your children will understand the wisdom of seeing the whole picture as they read this lovely book.
The illustrations for this book are by Keith Baker (I recommended Big Fat Hen above), so you know I love them! This is a great concept book, showing the meaning of up, down, around, etc. It's a super short read with just one word on most pages, but it is stunning none-the-less. Look for the peanuts hidden on each page!
Look at all those "Ee"s hiding in the title! This classic begs for you to follow up by gluing colorful paper squares to make your own Elmer, and with at least 10 books about Elmer, your child can enjoy him for a long time!
That's 20 awesome picture books to enjoy for the letter E! Do you have a favorite that I missed? Let me know in the comments!
E is exciting and extraordinary, just like our little ones, so I've put together some ideas you can enjoy doing together.
There are LOTS of ways explore eggs, so let's start with them.
1. Use egg shells to make the letter E!
For this activity I saved and cleaned egg shells, and let them dry. Then I did something extra special - I let my students use REAL grown up tools - safety goggles and a mallet from my garage - and we smashed those shells to bits!
Oh yes, that was exciting! They felt interesting, but a little sharp and gritty, so we didn't play with them for long...
We carefully poured them out of the box we had smashed them in, into a releasable bag, then added a little food coloring and rubbing alcohol to dye them colors (exact amounts don't matter, just add enough rubbing alcohol to disperse the coloring, then pour them out onto newspaper or an old box to dry). Later in the day we wrote the letter E on a paper using a LOT of glue, then sprinkled on the egg shells. When it was dry we gently shook off the extra pieces of shell, and had a lovely eggy letter E!
2. Beginning sound sort.
Put tiny toys inside plastic Easter eggs, making sure some have things that begin with E, and some don't. I was able to include these things: toy elephant, eagle, Elmo, erasers, and a couple were even empty - an unexpected E word! The children pulled the eggs out of a basket, opened them, and decided if the items started with E or not. We also repeated this game with 1" letter tiles, and the children sorted the letters into Ee / not Ee.
3. Make a torn paper Elmo craft.
I don't think I came up with this idea, but one of the challenges of blogging about almost 30 years of teaching, is I no longer know where I found ideas or inspiration, and how much of an activity is my take on something I saw long ago. Until I sat down to write this, I thought I had pinned it from someone else - but when I look for it on my Letter E Pinterest board, it's not there.
4. Humpty Dumpty's Egg Drop
I DO know where I found this idea! Mrs. Kelly's Kindergarten did this so well, I flat out copied her! Go ahead and set a couple of eggs to hard boil, and while they're cooking click the link above to check out the details. You'll be dropping this poor egg off his wall several times!
5. Field trip to the zoo
Children learn best through experience - it's one thing to tell you an apple is red and round and tastes good, but you don't know apples until you hold one in your hand, take a crunchy bite, and taste it. It's the same with everything else - your child will learn MORE when they can see, smell, hear, taste and touch things. Obviously there are plenty of things we can't or shouldn't explore with all our senses, but if you are able to, find ways to let your children experience the world.
One of our favorites is to visit the zoo. When I had my preschool I was very fortunate to live near a world class zoo that also offered year long passes at a discount. Having a pass for the year meant we could go often without paying more, so we did! One of the harder to recognize benefits of this, is that we never felt compelled to stay all day to "get our money's worth". Little legs wear out quicker than grown up ones, and if tired kiddos can't stop and nap.... well... that's a whole different experience!
Not everyone has access to a zoo, or the funds for that matter. Do what you can. For the letter E, that might mean looking for eagles, visiting someone who has chickens so you can collect the eggs, or stopping to look at an earwig you spot. It also doesn't have to be this week!
6. Easter egg hunt.
Yes, I know, it's currently September, and not even close to Easter. Yes, I know, not everyone celebrates Easter. Guess what? Your children won't mind a bit! This is us, every September:
I keep empty Easter eggs tucked away, and every year when we learn about the letter E, I get them out. Here's what I've learned from my students: It doesn't matter if anything is in the eggs. The fun of an egg hunt is in the running and searching and gathering and squealing and laughing. Hiding the eggs is just as much fun as collecting them. No basket? No problem! Use an empty plant pot, a bucket from the sandbox, or collect them in your shirt.
This is a game my students can play over and again for a couple of weeks. As they do, they're learning: if you want to play the game again, you have to help hide the eggs, it doesn't feel nice to have all the eggs and see your friends feel sad that they have none, it's fun to give a friend hints to help them find some, waiting for the egg hunt to start over is hard but we CAN control ourselves and wait for everyone to be ready, and more! We repeat this whole process again in the spring, in the weeks before our actual Easter egg hunt.
7. Hand prints - let's get messy!
The elephant hand print is self explanatory: paint their hand gray and stamp it on paper. When its dry, they can add details with a black marker. You can see we added torn tissue paper to suggest grass along the bottom of our page. I found this idea here.
The link to the original eagle hand print no longer works, but my pin for it does - find it here on my hand print and foot print board.
This one is a little more complex. As you can see, we printed it on a separate paper, which we glued onto our tissue paper sky. (Tissue paper doesn't work well to take hand prints.) This one was completed in 3 steps. First we made 2 brown hand prints, overlapping slightly on the palms. Once that was dry, we painted 3 fingers white and pressed those on for the tail feathers. We also painted the side of our curved pinky fingers, which made the head. Beak and eyes were added when dry.
8. Music, of course! Here's a rhyme about 5 and 5 eggs:
9. The elevator song, from Riverton Branch Library:
and10. 5 Elephants in the Bathtub, by Jbrary:
Bonus activity 11: Initial letter worksheets
I'm not big on worksheets for preschool, but I know sometimes they're helpful, and some children enjoy them. This week I put together an initial sound alphabet, 26 coloring pages that focus on the first letter sound in words. If you and your littles are working on initial sounds and they enjoy coloring, please consider supporting my blog by checking out this (and other) resources in my TeachersPayTeachers store.
I hope these ideas keep you and your little ones happily learning this week! Remember to tag me on Instagram @paulabeckerman2399 or Paula's Primary Classroom on FaceBook if you try any of these ideas. I LOVE seeing your happy, smiling, engaged children (and once a month I choose someone who has tagged me to win $10 worth of free resources)!
See you Wednesday for a list of books to accompany your letter E learning!
Have you ever made play dough with your children? It's a great sensory experience - this dough is even scented with sugar free Kool-Aid - and it is cheaper than buying, and lasts a LONG time! Making dough is this week's cooking activity!
While we're talking about sensory activities, I have some adorable hand print ideas for you this week!
It includes 2 sets of dino number cards 1 - 20, the addition mat pictured at top, and a worksheet. (Sorry, the plastic dinos and number tiles don't come with it.)
My students also had a blast making these dragons! I taped bubble wrap to the table (or to boxes), let the children paint all over the bubble wrap, and then we laid paper over the painted bubble wrap, pressed down to take a print, carefully lifted the paper, and ta-da! Scales! When its dry cut out your dragon, and provide paper scraps to add details!
Children choose a dog name card, count how many letters are in the name, and count out a matching number of doggy bones OR if they're working on letter recognition, they can match the letters in each doggy name with 1" letter tiles.
While we're focusing on letters, here's a fun initial sound activity for Dd! Go on a scavenger hunt for things that start with Dd (think duck, dragon, deer, donuts, dogs, etc.), a few things that do NOT start with D, and a non-breakable dish. Children go through the items one at a time, placing only those that start with D on the dish. As they do, they sing this song (to the tune of there's a spider on the floor):
"There's a d___ on the dish, on the dish. There's a d___ on the dish on the dish. If I had a wish, I'd put a d____ on a dish, there's a d____ on a dish, on a dish." (Click here to hear me sing it on my YouTube channel.)
Finally, you and your kiddos can make letter D crafts! There are a couple of ways to make the dotty D. For the one pictured below I offered wine bottle corks to dip in paint and stamp onto our D. They're a great size for small hands to hold, and make a lovely circular dot. Another way to do it is to use a circle punch and work finger muscles to make lots and lots of polka dots to glue on.
The lowercase d is a dinosaur - we added a head with mouth and eyes, and triangles for the tail. I had the children glue a piece of white paper behind the hole in the d, and in that space I wrote "First the dinosaur, then its tail." If you made the lowercase b craft, you can see that these two letter crafts complement each other, and help children remember the difference between the two letters.
Are YOU digging the letter Dd yet? Subscribe or come back next week for hands on ideas for the letter E - it's exciting!
Dinosaurs, dots, dress ups and dirt - Dd can be delightful!
Lets start by going dotty - for International Dot Day! Do you know the book The Dot by Peter H Reynolds? Check it out here:
There's even an International Dot Day to celebrate this book - and it is Tuesday September 15, 2020-ish. Perfect timing to make lots of dots with your little ones!
However you make your dots, it's likely your table top will be dirty by the time your little ones are done. Don't worry, make clean up a fun sensory experience by putting a dollop of (non-menthol) shaving cream on the table, and letting your darlings clean it up!
You could also take your learning outside and dig in the dirt - or the sand box! Digging is another fun sensory activity!
Of course we need to sing - how about 5 Little Ducks?
Does your child prefer dragons? They'll love this one!
If you enjoy these videos, I'd love for you to follow me on YouTube.com for more early learning ideas!
I haven't mentioned field trips yet, but getting out and exploring the world is an awesome way to learn! The ability to have as many field trips as work for my children and I is actually one of the main reasons I continued teaching preschool and kindergarten from home after my own kiddos went off to school. For the letter D week I love to take the children to a donut shop (thank you again Krispy Kreme for welcoming us each year!), and to the dinosaur dig at our museum.
Of course, you can have a lot of fun at home too! How about dressing up and dancing?
I'd love to hear how you and your child are enjoying the letter Dd - if you post about it on social media, please tag me on Instagram @paulabeckerman2399 or on FaceBook: Paula's Primary Classroom! See you on Wednesday for even more ideas for Dd!
Castle
and Sun is a famous painting by Paul Klee (pronounced Clay) that I like
to show the children during our letter Cc week. The colors are bold,
and it's made entirely of geometric shapes, so it's perfect to review
squares, rectangles, triangles and circles. What shapes can they see in
the picture? What does it look like to them? Are there any doors or
windows? Turrets? (Use those great vocabulary words, you'll be amazed
how many your children remember and use correctly!)
After we look
at the picture, we build (construct!) castles with blocks, and I ask
which part of their castles they build first. Turns out you start at
the bottom and work your way up - a concept I want them to think about
BEFORE we make our paper collages.
Check out all the geometric shapes in our blocks, just like we saw in Castle and Sun. Hmm... what shapes do they see?
Finally
I give the children a pile of squares, rectangles and triangles plus 1
circle (the sun), and they construct a collage from the bottom of the
page up. They already know the sun goes up in the sky, they're pretty
smart you know!
If you and your child are practicing shapes, you might also like these hands on learning activities I've created. This is Sorting and Drawing 2D Shapes:
But wait, there's more! (Sesame Street wasn't the only TV I watched.) Activity #7: Cat hats
Get
ready for cuteness overload with this super simple cat hats! I took a
sheet of black construction paper and cut a long strip to go around each
child's head. (Pro tip, when you staple it, make sure the smooth side
of the staple is on the inside against your child's head so it doesn't
poke, scratch, or snag their hair). We cut out and glued / stapled the
nose and ears on, then crept around or crouched like cats. Too cute!
Watch a quick how-to video here.
Activity #8 Painting with toy cars.
Paint or stamp pads + cars + paper = happy children. It's easy, it's fun, why not?
The
link above is to the French language site where this adorable cow idea
came from. You may think this multi-step art project will be too much
for your littles, but the artistic ability of children has often amazed
me!
Step 1: Children use crayons to draw flowers around the edge of their
page. It's important to use crayons because the next step is...
Step
2: Watercolor paint resist. Children paint over the entire paper with
one color of watercolor paint. Look how the crayons resist the water,
and it soaks into the paper around them, leaving the crayon pictures
beautiful and bright!
Step 3: When the paper is dry, cut a
rectangle from brown paper. Have your child draw a smaller rectangle to
cut out (the space between the cow's legs), then cut along the lines to
make the cow. From the little scrap rectangle they can make a tail.
Provide scraps of another color to make the rectangle nose and mouth
(there are those shape words again!), plus horns and a tuft on the end
of the tail. They can add white circles for the eyes, and add the
details for the face. It's amazing to me that these were made by 3-5
year old children!
I'd also love to see what YOUR child makes - if you
post on social media, please tag me @paulabeckerman2399 or on FaceBook

Activity #10 Songs!
We HAVE to have songs, right? For Grandfather's Clock I like to tap rhythm sticks. As they recite this rhyme children get to experience 3 different tempos for the music, and they're practicing self restraint to match my speed. If you don't have rhythm sticks you can get the same effect with a couple of wooden spoons, or a pair of chopsticks. Get creative!
While you have your sticks (or improvised instruments) out, let's tap on our shoes for Cobbler Cobbler. A cobbler is a job we don't see often any more, it's what we call someone who makes and fixes shoes. We practice tapping to a rhythm, and the concepts of up and down in this fun rhyme:
Cobbler, cobbler, mend my shoe, (tap on your shoes)
Have it done by half past two.
Stitch it up, (tap sticks above your head)
Stitch it down, (tap sticks on the floor)
Make the finest shoes in town. (tap on your shoes)
Sneaking Cat Rhyme is one I found on Literary Hoots Cat Storytime. Check it out, there are LOTS more fun cat rhymes and activities for cat loving children to enjoy! It can be made even more fun by wearing the headband from activity #7.
What other children's songs and rhymes can you think of for the letter Cc? Let me know in the comments, and maybe I'll record them and add them to my YouTube channel for you!
C is for Cookie! - can you tell I grew up with Sesame Street? My children did too, but even if we hadn't, we'd still love cookies for the letter C week.... and all the other weeks too!
Activity #1 this week is cooking!
Children love to cook, or at least, that's been my experience. There's something almost magical about spending time with your favorite grown up, doing grown up things like cracking eggs and measuring flour, and turning all those ingredients into something delicious! It definitely takes longer to cook when you have little hands helping you - but let me jump waaaaaaaay ahead and tell you that you'll be so glad you took the time to teach them when you have a teen who can make dinner for the family! I've taught at least 100 children (age 3-5) how to crack an egg, and you can too! You'll do a lot of explaining and hand holding, and you'll probably pick some egg shells out of the bowl and wipe some egg of the counter top, but how else will our little ones grow?
I digress. C is for cookie - so help each other make a simple sugar cookie dough, then roll it on the counter like you would to make play dough snakes, curl it a little into a C shape, and bake.
While they're baking, I recommend reading any one of the books about Who Stole the Cookies from the Cookie Jar. Your kiddos will let you know what to do after you cook them 😄.
For times when you can't actually cook, making a camera cookie is a fun alternative! You'll need a square of graham cracker, some peanut butter (or other spread), a small round cookie, and a few small round candies. Give your child a butter knife, and let them spread the peanut butter on the graham cracker, then arrange the toppings to look like a camera. Smile!
Activity #2: Hungry Caterpillars
Surely you know the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar, by Eric Carle? It's wonderful for learning about the life cycle of butterflies, but that little caterpillar lends itself to making a letter C shape to reinforce the letter sound too! For the upper case letter C we make a simple clown face on our letter cut out - and hey, cutting starts with C too, so remember to let your littles work their finger muscles and cut their letter out!
Activity #3 Hand prints - are you and your little ones loving the hand painting process as much as mine always have? Here are some cute ideas for letter C! (I've linked the original source for each handprint below, you can see many many more on my Handprints and footprints Pinterest board.)
Cake - paint your child's palm and enough fingers to show how old they are. When the paint is dry use markers or glue on small pieces of paper to make the "flames" on the candles.
Camel - paint their whole hand, then let them add a neck and head to their camel. When the paint is dry they can draw on the details. For the sandy background on my example we tore some tissue paper, then used a glue stick on the solid paper, and stuck the tissue paper down. (If you try to put the glue stick on the tissue it will probably tear.)
Caterpillar - perfect for anyone who is hesitant to get their whole hand painted, just finger tips and a leaf cut out.
Crab - paint one hand at a time, make the palm prints overlap slightly. When it's dry let your child add wiggle eyes and claws.
Castle - paint their whole hand, when it's dry they cut and paste triangles to turn their finger prints into turrets, and add doors and windows.
Clifford - one big red hand print. I have to admit I drew the outline for Clifford's features, then the children added a triangular nose and wiggle eyes.
Activity #4: Crawl into a cave and find things that start with Cc. "Sure," you're thinking, "Let me pop out to my local cave with my babies in tow and see if there just happen to be C things in it. What could go wrong?"
Well... nothing if your "cave" is a card table with a blanket thrown over it, and you and your child look in the toy box or around the house for things to put in the cave. Think cup (I had a clown cup from the circus!), cows, caterpillars, cats, castles... it's amazing what you'll find when you start looking!
No room for a card table cave? Put your letter Cc things on a table to play with!
Activity #5 Sensory play with construction vehicles or toy cars in corn.
If you've been following me a while you will know this, but for those of you who are new: if you can take sensory play outside, you'll have less clean up. I love using feed corn for sensory play: it's super inexpensive, natural, and the squirrels clean up everything we spill. One bag lasts a whole year, as long as you keep it dry. I store it in our sensory play table in the garage, then scoot it out when we want to play with it. Some people store sensory materials in tubs, and choose which one(s) to play with. Some people don't like the mess of it at all, and choose not to do this kind of activity. Do what works for YOU!
I hope these activities keep you and your little one happily busy learning! If you post to social media about these activities I would LOVE to see! Tag me on IG @PaulaBeckerman2399 or on FB Paula's Primary Classroom.
Come back on Wednesday for 5 MORE ideas for the letter Cc!
