House h 
This week’s letter of the week craft is fun but be prepared to use paper that matches your house. I had red paper all ready, my h was written out and I hear from across the table ” I want a white house, our house isn’t red mama it’s white!” he was right, our house is white so we started over, I took new materials pictures and we were all set.
- Gather your materials. You will need 3 colors of construction paper, some markers( crayons will be fine too!), glue, and scissors.
- Start by writing a lowercase h on your paper.
- Have your child decorate it anyway they want. My son is starting to show interest in writing and has been tracing the letters lately when we make these crafts then pronounces he’s ready for the next step. I just sit back and watch , loving how this came about so naturally.
- Ask how many windows they want and cut them out ( I added crossbars) , also cut o.ut a roof and the top of a chimney.
- Cut the h out and glue it on a contrasting sheet of paper.
- Time to add the glue for the house pieces!
- Add the roof.
- Add the windows and chimney topper.
- Let dry.

I love how into the craft your son is. His expressions make me smile.
What a cute idea!! So simple, but so much fun. Thanks for sharing all your great ideas- we’ve tried and few and love them!
Curious…when you read to your son do you often try to point to the words with your finger? I don’t do this because it gets in the way of the pictures but wanted to know what your opinion is on this. Thanks so much!
Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. I tend to read the words without pointing them in bed but when we are sitting next to each other especially if it’s a book with east text and words he is starting to show interest in sounding out I make an effort to do it.
I like the house. Do you go in order when teaching letters or do you mix them up?

Nope I never go in order – I like to mix it up so that I am capitalizing on his interests as well as demonstrating that letters aren’t always used in alphabetical order and can stand alone.
I love your h house!
We did a similar craft in our house, and eventually covered our dining room walls with decorated letters, both upper and lowercase. very fun!
This is so fun! thanks for the idea for when we work on letter H!

[...] last craft we did was “house”. This idea was from this site. I drew the capital H and small letter H in a piece of paper and let Yvette play with her Dot-Dot [...]
