Letter H

Activities for H week!

• Cut out hearts (you know, do the folded paper thing) - this is good for practicing scissor skills! A little more difficult than straight lines, but still good practice - and decorate them with heart stickers, markers, paint, whatever. We gave a decorated heart to a girl named Haley at church.
• Hats - pull out all the hats in your house (or if you're like us and have a bazillion, just get the kids' play hats) and sort them by size, color, etc. Wear them and have a parade of hats.  If you have one you can decorate, do it!  Asher actually hates wearing hats, so this activity wasn't very exciting to him, which saddened me, because I think it's so fun!
• Dig holes in the sandbox or dirt.
• Give lots of hugs!
• Play with a toy hippo.
• Draw a house, talk about your house/home, play with a dollhouse.
• Sing "If You're Happy and You Know It"
• Make a newspaper hat - we did this, decorated it, and gave it to Asher's friend Hayden at church.
• Make handprints with paint on a large piece of paper.

• Cut out some additional hearts from colored paper and a few from newspaper print.  Then glue them onto another piece of newspaper.  Have your child see if they can find all the hearts and discuss camouflage.  You can tailor this to your child's age - I only used 2 colored ones and 2 newspaper ones because Asher is so young. I numbered them after he found them.
