A is for Apple Dot Painting

Today I found a Mommy friendly way to paint. They are kids paint dotters. When Little Man presses the end to the paper a little bit of paint comes out. They are great!! 

I used A is for Apple dot painting from 2 Teaching Mommies Apple Unit. It was fun helping Little Man putting his dots in the circles. 

Ten Apples Up On Top

It seems like whatever you are doing there is always a Dr. Seuss book to go along with it. One of my favorites is Ten Apples Up On Top. This was a fun book to read to Little Man. After reading the book I showed him how I could try to balance an apple on my head. I tried to get him to balance it on his head but he wasn't too thrilled about that. I then gave him a paper with lots of apples on it. I found this in Oopsey Daisy's A is for Apple Mommy School packet on page 62. I let him color the apples and then cut them out for him. I put glue dots on the back and helped Little Man glue the apples on top of his head. He thought it was funny to see all the apples on his head. 

Sensory Apples

Little Man is starting to repeat many words that are said to him. So it is fun to expose him to new things and name them for him. Today we had a sensory experience. I used a cut out of an apple and made four different textured apples. I made a bumpy apple out of bubble wrap. A sticky apple out of  contact paper. A soft apple out of cotton balls. Lastly, a rough apple out of sandpaper. Little Man and his friend enjoyed touching the different apples and saying the words. 

A is for Apple

Well, it has been awhile since I have posted anything. I guess that is what happens during the summer. We have spent a lot of time outside enjoying the beautiful sunshine. Now that it is starting to get a little cooler I decided to start a new unit. It seems appropriate to do something fallish so I decided on Little Man's new favorite word...apple.

I have found some activities about the letter A, color red, and apples that we will be enjoying for the next few weeks. Hope you enjoy!!

It seemed most appropriate to first introduce the letter A. So today we worked on saying the letter A. We also talked about what the letter A says and traced it with our finger. I then let Little Man and his friend color the letter A.

You can find the same printable here inside 2 Teaching Mommies Apple Unit. If you download their Apple Unit the file is named LetterA.
