Teach Counting with a Numbered Fruit Salad

This is one of those things that's  so easy, and so great, you just have to do it. It's extremely rare for me to have just my two youngest at home during meal preparation, but that's what happened today. It was the perfect time to give my Two some one-on-one in the kitchen -- and to teach counting as well. After church we ran to the store (in 16°! Ack!) to get some strawberries and grapes so we'd have enough ... Read More

Get out your farm toys for a Letter F Sensory Tub!

 (This post contains affiliate links.) This week we pulled out all our farm toys so we could make a letter F sensory tub: Farm in a Box. I got this idea from Small Potatoes, where she has an incredible amount of sensory ideas -- including a whole series called Building a World in a Box. Farm seemed like a good word to start with for the letter F - especially since we have a lot of farm toys.  I poured our beans ... Read More

8 Ways to Make the Letter E

For much of two weeks we worked on E, the first letter of our A-Z Exploration.  (See How to Teach the Alphabet to Preschoolers).   Check out our eight ways to make the letter E! First, I printed two large letter E's, which you can make yourself or use mine: giant letter E.  Then my Two and Four filled their E's with gems to reinforce the shape of the letter. Next, they filled their E's with buttons. We ... Read More

Letter E Rhymes & Songs mini-book

I created these mini-books when my little guy was just over 2.  He has always loved music, and I wanted a way to help the letters stick (because they weren't).   He wasn't too interested initially, but I made it a habit to sit down and read/sing these with him.   Before long he was bringing his "wittle books" to me. Now (2 years, 8 months) he carries them around and knows many of the songs and rhymes by heart. We ... Read More

Letter E craft ideas

Letter E Craft Ideas Here are some Letter E craft ideas to go along with your Letter of the Week.  Remember that I have three kids doing these crafts -- and not one of them does every single project.  The important thing is to find a project your child will enjoy -- reinforcing the letter E is a bonus!  Tissue Paper "E"  My four-year-old boy really loved this one.  I printed out a large E and gave him a bag of ...

Best Rhyming Books for Kids Ages 5-8

 This post contains affiliate links. Rhyming is an essential skill for success in reading (see why rhyming matters).  But each year that I taught first grade I saw a few children for whom rhyming was a struggle.  Inevitably, reading was an extra challenge too.  I've suggested a number of games to build rhyming skills.   But always, always, always --  the best way to teach rhyming is to read.  Looking for the ...

Beef & Rice Casserole — an easy main dish

I found the original recipe for this easy main dish, Cheesy Beef & Rice, at Heavenlyhomemakers.com.  Laura has a huge database of real food recipes - no cream of chicken soup, no white flour, and no processed sugar.  And many of her recipes are simple, like this one. Be sure to check her out! I changed a few things in Laura's recipe.  First, I substituted plain yogurt for the sour cream. I rarely have sour cream ... Read More
