Almost There!

We down to our last leg of the alphabet. It's taken us about six months to get here. This is what we have:

V is for vegetable.

 

W is for wagon.

 

 X is for x-ray.

 Y is for yarn. 

 All we have left to finish is Z. It's a good thing because we're going to be moving soon and we'll have a brand new door to start all over again.

I know it's been a while. I've kind of been on a hiatus. Here are some more letters from our door. Enjoy.

O is for octopus.

P is for princess.

Q is for queen.

R is for ring. 

S is for snake.

T is for tree.

U is for University of Utah. It's kind of a big deal at our house.

ABC's

I've seen these 'letter crafts' all over Pinterest and I love them! We've been slowly working our ways through the ABC's (actually, we've only made it through A, B, and C, but D is coming today). This is what we have so far:

A is for Alligator.

 B is for Butterfly.

C is for Caterpillar. 

This one is made out of a sock and it's my favorite.

Letters, Letters, Letters

We've been doing a lot of letter play lately. These are two of my daughter's favorite activities. Magnetic letters on a metal pan.

Playing with 'Bananagram' letters. Similar to Scrabble letters.

We've also been playing with foam letters, reading lots of alphabet books, visiting starfall.com, and going to letter story time at the library.

Check One Off the List

I have a whole folder on my computer of crafts I would one day like to finished. Well, today I finally finished one! This idea came from Chez Beeper Bebe. I loved the way the letters formed a rainbow, so I tried to imitate that the best I could with my limited fabric supply. My daughter and I often get on starfall.com and look at the different letters. Her favorite is 'G'. In fact, she's started calling the computer 'guh guh' because she likes the 'guh'. I was so excited when she started playing with her beanbags, grabbed the yellow G and started saying 'guh guh!' It just melts a mother's heart, doesn't it?
For storage I use an empty plastic pretzel jar. The jar has become as much of a game as the beanbags. The little miss likes to see what types of things she can fit in the jar (her sippy cup, stuffed dog, her hand.......you get the idea). I'm glad this worked out. I almost lost interest around the letter 'n', but I didn't and I'm proud.
