L is for Leaves

Happy Monday!  Here's our Falling Leaves letter craft for this week.  Here's what you'll need:

• Blue construction paper for the background
• Brown construction/scrapbook paper for the letter L
• Green construction paper for the grass

Munchkin had fun using his glue stick to glue all the leaves on!

Happy Tuesday!  Here's our C is for Car letter craft - Munchkin liked this one so much that he's told me that he only wants to make car crafts from now on :)  Here's what we used for our letter craft:

• Green construction paper for the background
• Blue construction paper for the letter C
• Yellow, Orange, Red, Purple and Black construction paper for the cars

Happy Monday!  Our Munchkin Theme is Mail this week.  As part of our mail fun, we'll be setting up a post office and doing some color and shape sorting with 'stamps'.  Here's what we used for our letter craft this week:

• Green construction paper for the background
• Legal sized envelope
• Red construction paper for the letter M
• Yellow foam cut with pinking shears for the stamp

B is for Bugs

Happy Monday!  This week's Munchkin Theme is Bugs!  Munchkin has been interested in things that fly and crawl lately (hmmm, could have something to do with it being summer!)  As part of our bug fun this week, we'll be going on a Bug Hunt and learning about the special jobs that each insect has.  Here's what we used for our B is for Bugs letter craft:

• Purple construction paper for the background
• Red construction paper for the letter B
• Orange construction paper for the wings
• Black construction paper for the dots and eye
• Yellow construction paper for the eye

S is for Starry Sky

Happy Monday!  This week's theme is Stars & Sky, so of course our letter craft included both :)  This was our first time using glitter glue and it was a HUGE hit!  Munchkin loved squeezing out blobs of glue and then finger painting with them.  Here's what we used for our S is for Starry Sky letter craft:

• Black construction paper for the background
• Blue construction paper for the S
• Yellow construction paper and white copy paper for the stars
• Lots of glitter glue (I found ours at the dollar store)

T is for Tools

Happy Monday! The little Munchkin LOVES tools.  He would rather go to Lowe's than any toy store.  He knows the names and usage of every tool that Daddy owns.  Here's what we used for our T is for Tools letter craft:

• Green construction paper for the background
• Brown construction paper for the handle
• Grey construction paper for the hammer & nails

E is for Earth

Happy Monday!  In honor of Earth Day on Thursday, this week's theme is Earth (Friendly).  Our activites this week will include sowing seeds, making recycled crafts and learning about recycling.  Here's what we used for our letter craft Earth:

• Black construction paper for the background
• Blue construction paper for the circle 'Earth'
• Green construction paper for the continent
• White printer paper for the E cloud

T is for Truck

Happy Monday!  This week's theme is Trucks, so naturally that's what appeared in our letter craft today.  Peanut is starting to get into actually glueing the pieces of our collages down (as opposed to telling me where to glue them).  Here's what we used for our Truck:

• Blue construction paper for the background
• Red construction paper for the truck cab
• Orange construction paper for the truck dumper
• Black construction paper for the wheels
• White printer paper for the T

E is for Easter

As much as the little guy thinks he likes glue, once we're actually gluing something he really only likes to direct me.  Hmmm, maybe that's why he always wants to glue ;)  Here's what we used for our Easter Egg E:

• Green construction paper for the background
• Egg shape cut out of pink construction paper
• E cut out of purple construction paper
• Scrap bits of various fabric/ribbon/yarn

B is for Bird

Here's what we used:

• green construction paper for the canvas
• small paper plate, colored by Munchkin and folded in half for the nest
• letter B cut out of red construction paper
• beak cut out of yellow construction paper
• assortment of craft feathers
