Letters Oo and Pp

  So we are speeding things up a bit since we are moving and packing....BUT Marin still LOVES to have a little project. And since we are in crazy mode, it is easier to plan one or two little activities with each letter instead of a full weeks worth. Plus most of our stuff is packed. So we are going to do a couple of letters a week until we move. Here is Oo and Pp.....

Do-A-Dot with an Octopus!

  

Creating an ocean collage with animal sponges, tissue paper, and stickers. 

Hollis "playing" Marin's math game on the Ipad. She cracks me up on this thing. 

Making a penguin for the letter Pp. 

Playing with the Pp on the Letter Factory toy. 

Marin's penguin. :o) 

Potato Printing

Hollis had so much fun doing this little project!

Marin did pink potato prints because we cut them out and turned them into pigs. ;o)

Letter Nn

We have a whole lot of crazy going on up here but Marin has pulled out paper and glue every day basically begging for a project. So we have squeezed in some Nn activities. 

Do-A-Dot N

Playing with play-doh. She has recently become a fan of this stuff.
(Probably because most of her other toys are packed.)
But we did make noodles and rolled out a letter N...and cookies and cakes and ice cream. :o)

Nn is for NAME!
She glued her name on a big banner. 

Necklace!
We made some salt dough egg ornaments for Easter and we through in some shapes as well for beads.
Then she painted and threaded them for a necklace. 

I used the salt dough recipe from this blog .
 

Nn is for NEST!
We made cookie nests. Marin loved putting the eggs in the "nests".

Noodles on a N!
She loved this one too. 

Letter Mm

So letter Mm week was waaaaaay back at the end of January. But we did a lot of traveling in February in Texas and Alabama. Then we bought a house and are moving. So I guess February and March has been Mm is for moving because we have been packing like crazy for this move. But way back when we did these fun activities for the letter Mm.....

Mm is for Mail!
I saved this box forever just so I could make a mailbox for Mm week. :o)

Yeah, not the greatest, but she had a lot of fun with it. 

Decorating the mailbox....

Writing her letter and putting it in the envelope....

She really enjoyed "folding" her letters. ;o)

Good folding, Marin. :o)

Time to mail!

Still on the mail....she traced the lines to get the mailman to the mailbox. 

Hollis managed the markers for her. 

Hollis got to pull tape off the table. 

We sang this song and I had a marker, magnet, music, monkey, and Minnie doll. This was more for Hollis than Marin.
She loved pulling the stuff out of the bag. 

Just because.
Look at that smile. 

Do a Dot with the letter M. 

Making a mask out of a milk jug. 

Hollis peeled off foam stickers for her mask activity. :o) (Loved it.)

Sitting so sweetly. 

Finger painting her name....Marin!

Hollis played with fabric squares in a wipe box. 

And then some pudding painting. Again, this was for Hollis but.....

she wasn't really interested in painting with it.
She just wanted to eat it.
