Anyway, there are so many fun summer activity ideas floating around in my head right now! I hope I get to all of them with Noah this summer! To help me get my ideas organized, I'm going to use this ultra cute Summer Bucket List at Tatertots & Jello via Positively Splendid. It even comes with FREE printables...how awesome is that?
One activity (actually on my agenda for this week) is to make a Rainbow I Spy Book from Delia Creates! Delia took several collage pictures of her sons' toys. Then, she pulled a few toys aside to take individual pictures of what they were supposed to "spy." Then, printed them as 4x6 pictures, slid them into an el-cheapo photo album, and voila...a book to keep kids happy and busy on long car rides, church, and wherever you need a quiet activity!
And, lastly for today, I was told by several incredibly smart ladies that I needed to buy Noah the Leap Frog Letter Factory DVD so that he could learn letter sounds. Weeeelllllll...I took their advice and bought it! I have to say that I was skeptical. Being a Kindergarten teacher, I thought that no DVD could actually teach the letter sounds! My review of this DVD??? It is TOTALLY AWESOME!!! We have had the DVD for 2 weeks and Noah (age 3) now knows ALL of his sounds! A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!! I'm so excited because now I can start with sight words and blending sounds in the fall! So, if you have a Preschooler at home or teach Pre-K, this video is for you! Check it out!
Have a wonderful Wednesday, friends!
*very cute*!! I may have to steal that idea! Thanks for sharing!

Love hearing about the Leap Frog Letter Factory!! I teach Pre-K & seeing how inexpensive the DVD is, I might have to check it out over the summer and see where I can put it to use in the classroom!!
ReplyDeleteI rarely show a DVD, but these are awesome! The kids really do learn from them and you can show them the same movie every time!
