Ways to Teach the Alphabet

July 24, 2017 By Thaleia 2 Comments

Teaching your preschool child the alphabet does not have to be a daunting task. Today I will show you some fun ways to teach the alphabet to your child through worksheets, reading, and hands-on activities. My youngest two boys love to learn new things together so I have come up with some ways that both of then can learn the alphabet and teach the alphabet at the same time.

Since Big Red already knows the alphabet and their sounds his main role is teacher. Lil’ Red is only beginning to learn the alphabet so he is a willing student.

Impromptu Science: Going on a Bug Hunt

May 28, 2015 By Thaleia

One morning my little boys were getting a little stir crazy and so was mommy. I decided to take them outside to hunt for bugs. We had recently bought new magnifying glasses from Dollar General and had bug barns that we made at Home Depot. They both thought this was a wonderful idea. They both hurried to get their socks and shoes and jackets on. No fussing and fighting just plain fun.

Vehicle Busy Bags

July 22, 2014 By Thaleia 12 Comments

I just realized I had not made Big Red any new busy bags and even let him play with our busy bag collection. Yikes, what a mommy fail! You do not realize all of the busy bags we own since I have not blogged about all the ones from last year’s busy bag swap or from the swaps when Big Red was under 10 mths old. I promise to do so to help give you ideas for making and organizing your busy bags.

Princess had a friend over and they were looking for something to do. I felt I might as well put her friend to work. I grabbed the leftover vehicle beads that I bought for the Letter Sound Swap last year. It looked like there was enough for the entire alphabet and I was right! 40 beads were left in the package I had bought at JoAnn’s. I grabbed a Sharpie marker and asked the friend to write one letter per vehicle. This package has planes, trains, tug boat, and model T beads that are big enough to fit on a skewer stick.
