Fluffy Feather F !
This is a super fast and easy craft but it actually hides a lot of learning in such an easy activity. Not only are your children learning about the letter F and it’s sounds, we also snuck in a sensory activity with the feathers!
- Gather your materials. You will need some feathers, construction paper, glue , crayons and some scissors.
- Draw a fat F, if your child is able to have them draw it, it’s better to have them do a wonky F than you doing a perfect one, remember it doesn’t have to be perfect but if you let them do it they are learning even more!
- Time to decorate the F with crayons- or markers if you want! I would avoid using paint only because you would have to wait for it to dry before step 4.
- Pop on the glue!
- Add the feathers. If ou are doing this with a toddler watch carefully for this step, the feathers can get stuck on their fingers and frustration can set in FAST, so before they throw a tantrum and end the activity prematurely try to step in and help .
- Cut the F out and glue it onto another piece of construction paper for stability.

Five little Frogs
Five little frogs sitting on a well
One peeked in and down he fell
Froggies jumped high
Froggies jumped low
Froggies jumped everywhere to and fro!
Additional Activities
Purse Full of Letters!
Toddlers and Preschoolers love “finding” things , grab an old purse and pop some foam or magnetic letters in it. Sit down and make a BIG deal about it. Saying ” Woooow look at this bag, it’s got some very very cool things inside. Do you want to see what’s inside?” they will be digging this and sit down excited. Remember at this age we want to use enthusiasm when teaching to a degree that you will probably feel silly but it pays off! Ask your child what each letter is, or what they found, what color it is or if they are past this level you can ask them what begins with that letter!

I’m so sorry that your little guy is sick! I hope that he’s feeling better soon (and you’re able to get some sleep!).
I couldn’t get your video to load, it might just be my computer, but I’m sure you look fine.
Thanks for all of the wonderful ideas! You have such a fun site.
Hang in there, I hope you’re all feeling better soon.
