The Letter E

Nap time yesterday was very busy with me making new play/learning materials for the kiddos. Be on the lookout for when I reveal these toys to the children in the next month.

This week we started working on the letter E. My little "E" was excited to learn her name started with an E (I will be working on name tags with pictures to post on the wall for the kids to work on recognizing their name today). Today we made blue  "E" (one of the color of the months) and glued on elbow macaroni on it. To spread the glue, I had the children use a paint brush. Then they had to use the pincher grip to grasp the macaroni out the container and place it on the "E".

We worked on the following skills in one project: fine motor, color identification, letter identification and having fun!
