The Peaceful Preschool - Letter D



This week was all about ducks, dogs, and donuts! The books Zeke had on his shelf were "If You Give a Dog a Donut", "Make Way for Ducklings", and "10 Little Rubber Ducks." He had some really fun activities this week! I'll share each activity under the book theme.

IF YOU GIVE A DOG A DONUT

This is a cute book, a sequel to "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie." Zeke made a paper plate donut craft today which was so easy and turned out so cute! I cut a hole in the center of a paper plate and Zeke colored it, then glued on sprinkles. 


We also talked about circles (since donuts are circles!). He glued Cheerios on a circle outline and stamped circles with paint and a toilet paper tube.



He also matched the uppercase letters A-D to the lowercase letters.

I created this worksheet for Zeke. He likes to match pictures to their shadows or outlines, so I found some free dog clip art on TPT and made this for him.


He coloreded the "D"s on this worksheet.

He also did number puzzles 1-5.



He also glued sprinkles on his letter pages.


10 LITTLE RUBBER DUCKS and MAKE WAY FOR DUCKLINGS

I set up a really simple water play invitation for Zeke with rubber ducks and a plastic tub of water. I numbered the ducks 1-5, and he named each number on his own.

I also created these worksheets for Zeke. He had to glue the ducks numbered 1-5 in order.

He also glued ducks with an uppercase D to lowercase "d"s in the pond.

He labeled a duck. He colored pictures that start with D. He water-color painted a duck.



I also set up a tray with a duck bath-sticker, glass beads, and tongs. Zeke had to balance each glass bead on the sticker. He didn't use the tongs because the beads were too slippery. This is actually a busy bag in my Etsy shop, but instead of glass beads it's pom-poms.



He matched his moveable alphabet with his tacticle flashcards we make each week. I use glitter glue to trace the letters.

He matched mama animals with their babies. The animals started with "D" - I just picked the ones out of the box that began with "D". 

He also played with his new wooden lacing beads and 10-frame tray.
