Melanie,

It's a glass cleaning dish sponge from Albertson's ( Grocery store) I scour the cleaning aisle every week for new fun tools.

Tanya, I haven't done it yet but what I did in my class a few years ago was Jelly Bean J. Kids love it- you can use real jelly beans or make some out of paper. I have always used real ones and usually do it around easter when there are a ton on sale. I will do it next week though !

You can also do Jaguar, Jello ( jello jigglers) or Jeep J doing tire track painting with a Jeep.

Wonderful! I've also been doing a discovery box or post-it note treasure hunt for the letter of the week. Question for you: What do you do for the Letter J? I love the letters you've done (B & Z are great!), but can't think of a way to do a J. Ideas?

I love this activity! Where did you find that amazingly fun painting tool? That would be a cute way to decorate some child made wrapping paper too.

I usually just do a craft/kick off activity one day, then spend a lot of time pointing it out, playing with the craft ( we used it building with blocks this am), do a T discovery box ( I'll post this asap) and focus on it when playing with the magna doodle, bath letters and fishing game.

Older children I would add a T hunt and writing practice too.
