Letter D

It's been busy in the Regier household and we haven't had much time to do our letter activities lately, but we are getting back into the groove this week!  I also haven't had much time to update the blog, so although we are farther down the alphabet than the letter D, I'm just getting to writing about our fun activities.  We didn't do a whole lot for our D week, but here are the activities:

• Dance to music!
• Make drums out of butter tubs, canisters, pots, etc. and make some noise!
• Read a book about dinosaurs
• Hide a toy dinosaur around the house and have your child search for it
• Hide a toy that starts with D (dinosaur, duck, dog - we used the duck and dog) in the dirt and have them dig to find it!  This was Asher's favorite activity - he wanted to do it everyday for the next week!
• Make a day/dark picture (I know the opposites are day and night, but to make them both start with D I had to get a little creative).  We divided a large paper in half and I drew a sun on the day side and a moon and stars on the dark side.  Then I had Asher paint blue all over the dark side and color the rest of the picture with markers once the paint dried.
• Watch Dumbo - this movie has been played about a thousand times in our house, so it was a no-brainer to include it in our D week!
• Let the dogs out to run around
• Draw pictures!
• We gave a jar of "delicious" salsa to our friend Dana!
