H is for Horse

Our letter of the week is H. We picked horses to study for our animal. We had so much fun making this Footprint Horse. I think it turned out adorable!! We made the head by tracing one of Braden's shoes, then glued on the eyes and hair and then he used stamps for the Hh. He did not like getting glue on his hands when he was gluing the hair (yarn) on, but he had fun and loved learning about horses.

Alphabet Notebook

I have been trying to think of a way to help Braden enjoy learning to read and write the alphabet that isn't totally boring for him. I decided it would be fun to make an Alphabet Book. A book that he can keep forever. I am going to let him pick a different letter every week to study and make crafts and do different activities that go with the letter for that week. He loves to learn about animals, so we are also going to pick an animal, to go with our Letter of the Week, to study. He will work on it over several months, adding to it, until it is completed. I think we are going to enjoy making it together, and I can't wait to see the finished product!! It will be something he can be proud of and enjoy over and over!!
