Letter N

The Letter N

"Nothing can separate us from God's love." Romans 8:39
"Now Christ is risen from the dead." 1 Cor 15:20 (it's Easter time for us, so I went with this one)

-exercise by number: write 10 or so activities on strips of paper, fold, and put in a cup; using a dice, have child draw out an action, then roll the dice- do the action that number of times (ex: draw jumping jacks, then rolls the number 6, then do 6 jumping jacks) (ex of activites: hip circles, jumping jacks, rocket boost, clap, blink, push ups, run to the door, spin, jump, turn head)

-glue noodles on the letter N

-finger tracing: I drew dashed numbers 1-10 on a piece of fingerpaint paper, then the kids used finger paints from paint over the numbers; could als modify this by finer tracing the numbers using shaving cream or chocolate pudding

-eat by number: we were using a 12 number dice, so I put numbers 1-12 in boxes on a sheet of paper, put a candy or goldfish in each box- take turns rolling the dice, you eat the candy in the box number that you roll- kids liked this :)

-snack idea: nuts, nectarine, or noodles for lunch (macaroni?)

Letter M

The Letter M

"Make a joyful noise unto the Lord." Ps 100:1

-make a paper plate music tambourine
-we read a Maisy book, I printed Maisy coloring pages; could also read books about mouse, monkey, music
-Measure- we traced ourselves lying down on the driveway, measured the bodies in inches using our tape measure
-Magnify- we carried our magnifying glasses around the house, looking for things that started with M
-Magnets- we took our magnet wands, and went around the house, searching for metal things; could also use magnet wands in the sand box, to retrieve hidden metal items in the sand
-if Christmas time, could do a manger activity
-snack: did M&M art- laid M&M's on a letter M on paper 9then ate them, of course ;)
