D week

Preschool this week didn’t happen as much as I had planned. It was one of those weeks – I was tired & busy, the boys were always cranky, we had errands to run, etc, etc. You know the excuses. But what we did do was: D is for Dots, Dinosaurs and Dentist. I had planned to also do: D is for Dogs, Dad, and Days of the week, but those just didn’t happen.

Dots: For our first day of preschool this week, we started with a big letter D and put Dot stickers all around it. Little G used some do-a-dot stampers and stamped on the paper randomly, then he connected the dots (dot-to-dot) and make a weird creature! On another paper he wrote a big D and a few more littler D’s and put more dots all over it. Lastly we used the candy Dots and worked on colors and patterns.

 

Dentist: Nothing special today. We all had dentist appointments, and it was little G’s first one. Didn’t end up that great (he screamed and threw a HUGE fit). My sister was awesome and sent us this bookto get him ready for it! After our appointments we went to the store and bought new toothbrushes and toothpaste. I was going to have him do this activity (paint/brush their teeth), but he was pretty traumatized so we chilled the rest of the day.

Dinosaurs: We started with a page from a dinosaur Color Wonder book. Then we used some dinosaur stickers that I made and cut with my Silhouette (read how to make stickers HERE). He circles all the blue ones, put an X on the pink ones and drew D’s all over the page. He made a card for his cousin with lots of dinosaur stickers and letter D’s all over it. He included some stickers for her to use too. I was pretty impressed with how well he wrote her name and his name (with my help). I found some dinosaur capsule creatures(little pill shaped things that disintegrate and expand into sponges in warm water). The boys were pretty impressed and had lots of fun with those. Lastly they painted little wood dinosaurs that I got at the dollar store. Anytime they get to paint they love it.

 

D WEEK!

Hopefully E week is a little more eventful and we get more done!
