More Letter A Activities

 First, we read Apples, Apples, Apples by Nancy Elizabeth Wallace which can be bought here. And then started on a super easy paper plate and coffee filter apple! All you need to do is cut the center out of a paper plate, paint the outside red...

 Finger painting the outer ring of the apple!

And then use markers to color the entire coffee filter! 

Coloring in the coffee filter to make the core of the apple!

Squirting the coffee filter with water!

Give it plenty of time to dry and then glue it to the red apple. You can also add a stem and leaf like we did!

Our finished apple in the window... if only it was sunny! 

Working on our letter 'A' coloring page. 

Day 1 of Letter A

Yesterday, we started our week long study of the letter A. My daughter already knows all of her alphabet so our main emphasis was on letter sounds. There she is with her completed alligator chomping on his 'a'

I just love those intense looks of concentration. 

We are still working on our cutting skills so, we try and work with scissors at least once a day. And here is the link up to where I found this awesome printable. She loved the chomping alligator!
