Ryan is 2.5 and attends preschool 3 mornings a week.  He learns a ton there but I still feel like I want to work on learning activities in the afternoon as well as on days I am home with him.  A group of friends and I decided to share weekly projects in an effort to make sure our kids grow up to be smarties! :)

Last week we worked on the letter A.  We pointed out things that begin with the letter A, did coloring pages that had things with A in them and made crafts that had to do with A.  My favorite part of the crafts is that all you need for both is construction paper, scissors and a glue stick!

For craft 1, I cut out a large capital A and squares out of construction paper.  I had Ryan glue the squares on the A.  He was very into the gluing!

Next, I cut out a couple capital A’s and one large lower case a.  I cut little seeds and a stem from black construction paper, and a leaf from green.  Ryan glued everything on the paper and we made an apple out of the lowercase A.
