This week I reviewed the letter "B" with my 3 year old daughter. Practiced the letter sound and did butterfly related fun activities.
I printed this page out on Confessions of a Homeschooler and gave my daughter these chips to trace the letter.
She did a Tanogram butterfly
We briefly went over the life cycle of a butterfly, she cut out the stages and then glued them in the order of the life cycle.
I am using Bugs and Bunny Science Curriculum for her to do fun Science activities.
and then we did this craft....
materials needed:
1 paper plate
2 googly eyes
finger paint
glue
scissors
wide Popsicle stick
long pipe cleaner bent in 1/2
Cut the paper plate in 1/2 using a curvy pattern, staple the 1/2's of the paper plates right sides together leaving the curvy portion on the outside
Then finger paint, I dropped some red and blue drops on both sides for her to paint, she wanted purple so it gave me an opportunity to teach her what 2 colors made purple.
The painted the Popsicle stick
Then stapled the pipe cleaner, glued the Popsicle stick over the center of the wings (over the staples) then she glued on the googly eyes!
