Letter "Aa" Activities

I'll be sharing with you the activities we did for Letter "A".The aim of these activities is to learn more about a particular letter. To identify what a particular letter looks like (both uppercase and lowercase letters), what sound it makes, and how to use it to make up a word. And ofcourse in a fun and exciting way.

Lets begin.

Letter Identification.

Identifying capital and small letter "A" using this Alphabet Letter Identification Printable I got from this site  and with our DIY Do-A-Dot Marker. We're now focusing more on the lowercase letters as she's already familiar with the uppercase letters.

Pre-Writing.

Tracing the Letter A using cork board and toothpicks. For older kids you may use pushpins instead of toothpick. This is a great pre-writing activity.

Another pre-writing activity is this letter tracing using a cotton swab and washable paint. My toddler love this activity so much because of the cotton swab dipping part, that she asked for another set of letters to be traced.

Forming letter Aa using clay. This is also a great fine motor skills activity.

Arts and Crafts.

A is for Alligator and a is for apple craft. This activity is also an opportunity to practice her cutting and pasting skills.

Bible Story.

We have this very nice Kid Bible App on her tablet that we love to read. We read about Noah's Ark.

We built a miniature Ark using her empty milk carton, and wrap it with packaging tape, and put a window and door.

 Then I asked her to help the animals enter the ark. We were singing the arky arky song while doing this.

 not an instagram worthy project but I tell you she had enjoyed this diy ark alot.

Letter "A" book

For our letter A book we read about this Ant family who had their picnic on the hill.

Other Activities

A is for Animals. We also did various activities about animals such as this wooden animal puzzle, that is a great cognitive development activity, and this mother and baby animals matching activity.

So that's it. I hope you had fun as much as we had fun in doing those activities.
