Ff is for Feet
This is pretty self-explanatory – just paint their feet! We
did this at the beginning of the school year when we were learning “all about
me.” Since they were kinda little way back then, I had them sit in a high chair
while I painted their feet with a paintbrush, then pressed their foot onto the
paper (with a hardcover book behind it to give them something to press down
on).
Gg is for Green Grapes
Unlike our apple and corn from the first few alphabet pages,
we didn’t actually paint with real grapes here. Instead we painted with… wine
corks! So of course we talked about the color and the circular shapes, and it
was during our healthy food unit in January, so I did say they were “pretend
grapes.”
Hh is for Handprints & Hearts
I bet you can’t guess when we did this one – haha. Yes, it was
in February, but the only thing the kids needed to do for this was press their
handprints on the page (they were already experts thanks to our handprint
calendar) and then choose which hearts they wanted. These were foam hearts, and
I just used a gluestick to attach them wherever the children wanted them. Clickhere for more Valentine ideas!
Ii is for Ice Painting
In January, we painted with ice! For more details about our
ice painting, you can read all about our “Wintry Fun for Florida Toddlers.” But
basically it was like watercolors. We talked about how cold it felt on their
hands as they were smearing the colored ice cubes all around! And this was when
my printer wasn’t working, so I just had to write it in. Oops!
Jj is for Jiggly Jellyfish
This was another super easy handprint craft, which we made in
April when we were talking about animals. Just paint the whole hand (except the
thumb) purple (or pink or whatever) and press down on the page upside down!
Stay tuned for more alphabet ideas!
