Letter "Dd" Activities

We're now on Letter D with our Letter Activities

Letter Identification.

Identfying letter "Dd" by putting a stickers on them. You should see how excited Lady Bug was, when she learned that we will be using sticker on this activity. She loves stickers so much, so I think we will be doing this again on other letters, or will try to re-create a similar activity.

Pre-Writing.

Letter D stamping activity

Tracing Letter "Dd" with chalk and chalk board. I pre-cut an uppercase and lowercase letter D on an illustration board. I introduce the letter to Jashley and Yanyan (our guest classmate for this session), and asked them if they can say a word that starts with letter D. And then I handover the letters to them together with a chalk, and did a little demonstration on how to do the activity.

This kind of activity can be classified as Multi-Sensory Activity wherein the child is using almost all their senses all at once in learning. They are seeing the letter, touching them, and also hearing its sound as we repeatedly saying it or using it with words. This helps the child retain the information they gather into their long term memories.

Another letter tracing activity using our wipe & clean flash cards.

Arts and Crafts.

D is for Duck craft.

d is for dinosaur craft.

Notice that this time I let her use the glue directly from its bottle as compare to the glue sponges we use from our previous activities. It is because (1) I realize I need to let her experience the bottle squeezing & glue spreading since it will also help in refining her motor skills (2) I have yet to add layers of sponges on our glue sponge to prevent her fingers on getting glue from the sides of the container.

Bible Story.

D is for David, the main character of our Bible Story for this topic. We have this Goliath face target that I got on this site, I pasted it on a cardboard to make it sturdy. For the stone I actually made a bean bag before for the similar activity we did at chuch, but I cannot find them. Since I didn't have enough time making them again before Lady Bug wakes up from her afternoon nap, I settled with socks that I stuffed with small toy inside to make it a little heavy, enough to beat our Goliath print-out.

This is a great gross motor skills activity. I bet she had so much fun with this activity cause she doesn't wan't to stop playing with it. I think this is a cue for me to prepare more gross motor activity for my ever so active toddler.

Featured Book.

Our letter D book is the Daddy Loves Me and the best seller Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell that my little girl loves to read.
