Letter of The Week N n !

Newspaper N !

Now after doing this craft I realized how much this is like our ” Word W” sorry, hopefully you still have fun doing this craft, preschoolers are not against some repetition , my son had a blast doing this while waiting for dinner and using double stick tape vs glue keeps little hands clean in case a bath is not on the schedule!

  1. Gather your materials. You will need 2 pieces of construction paper, some newspaper, double stick tape, scissors and markers.
  2. Draw a big fat N on one piece of paper.
  3. Have your child draw on the other. If they are old enough you can have them practice writing Ns if they want! I usually include one free art aspect of the letter of the week activity, that way they have some control and free creativity in an otherwise parent/teacher directed craft.
  4. While your child is doing this you can cut the newspaper into small pieces.
  5. Cover the N in double stick tape /or glue.
  6. Add the newspaper to the N. My son loved this, he loved how sticky the tape was and how it stuck to his finger, so we had a mini lesson on textures too!
  7. Cut out and tape the the colored paper!

Discovery Boxes

A great way to introduce a letter of the week to your child is to fill a box with items starting with that letter. This morning after breakfast my son and I sat down and pulled lots of fun things out of our box, Numbers, A Nectarine, Noodles and Nuts were all in there! The best part about this activity is that you use things around your house, and you can use it for letters, colors and shapes!

Letter of the week “Stories”

This is a fun activity for older preschoolers, I had fun doing this with my PreK class a few years ago! What you do is write a short story leaving blanks for your child to fill in with words starting with the letter of the week. The results will make both of you giggle, and your child will be learning too!

Here is an example :

Yesterday I went walking down the street and I found a _________ , I couldn’t believe it! My mom said I couldn’t keep it . Instead she let me go to the store and buy a _________ but there were none left! The man at the store sold me a ________ instead! I thought it smelled funny , so I went home and on the way home I found three ______. what a funny day!

*Remember to keep it short so that your child stays interested, you want them to be challenged , not frustrated!

    The “letter of the week stories” idea is great. I think my girls are going to love this. They always like to make up silly stories to tell their brothers after school everyday.

    I didn't have time to come check out your site before we did our N for our letter of the week, so I decided to try to come up with something on the fly. So based on the inspiration I get from you, with making letters that look like something else, and some inspiration from the A Was Once An Apple Pie book, my son and I made a nest in the upper part of the letter N. He loved the little blue bird we put in the nest too. http://afewpacesfromhere.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/imgp5593.jpg
