Happy Broken Middle Alphabet Hunt
December 07, 2018
Edit
As I mentioned inwards a previous post, nosotros simply latterly welcomed a novel babe into our family. We are a fighting exhausted (especially me) then I basically stayed inwards bed all morn today attempting to larn a nap (and failing) piece ii of my other kids watched movies as well as entertained themselves. I was feeling similar a lame mom past times this afternoon... then I pose together this fun pump activity for my iii as well as five yr old.
Crinkled shredded newspaper is 1 of our favorite sensory materials to play with, then I used it to brand a elementary broken pump alphabet hunt. We incorporated the letters inwards the kid's names since doing the whole alphabet would've been a fighting overwhelming.
MATERIALS NEEDED FOR HEART HUNT:
- white & ruddy cardstock
- scissors
- black marker
- big tub/container
- crinkled shredded red/white/pink newspaper (or simply about other favorite sensory material- beans, rice, cornflakes, etc)
DIRECTIONS:
Prep-ahead
To larn started nosotros cutting out several ruddy newspaper hearts (one for every missive of the alphabet inwards each child's name). Then nosotros turned the hearts into broken hearts (kind of similar pump puzzles) as well as nosotros wrote an upper-case missive of the alphabet missive on 1 one-half as well as the matching lowercase missive of the alphabet on the other half.
Next nosotros buried the pump pieces into a tub of crinkled shredded paper.
Lastly, nosotros drew whole pump outlines on a slice of newspaper as well as wrote a missive of the alphabet on each heart. Each kid got a slice of newspaper that included hearts for every missive of the alphabet inwards their name.
To play
To larn playing the hunt game the kids searched for the alphabet hearts within the tub of crinkled paper.
Once they flora 1 they pose it on their newspaper as well as hunted for the corresponding upper/lowercase letter.
Once 1 kid was done, the other got a turn. They had then much fun alongside this that side past times side fourth dimension I'll ready ii tubs then that they each accept their own.
While nosotros played nosotros talked most missive of the alphabet names as well as sounds. This is dandy visual discrimination activeness every bit good every bit kids unwrap departure inwards upper as well as lowercase letters as well as tin gibe upper-case missive of the alphabet to upper-case missive of the alphabet letters.
Not alone did the kids accept fun doing this over again as well as again, they also stance it was fun to cover the letters for me as well as allow me play too.
You could easily modify this upward to play alongside numbers, colors, shapes, etc.
