Toddler Tuesday {Preschool Activities} Week 4

This week I wanted to share a fun activity that focuses on gross motor!  We played a fun letter toss game with a candy corn theme!!
I put these large candy corn letters around the room.

We stood in a circle around the letters.  Each kiddo gets a chance to throw a bean bag on a letter.  They will say the letter that the bean bag lands on!  If it does not land on a letter, have them say the letter that is closest to their bean bag.

There are so many ways you can play this game.  You could have your kiddos say the sound or something that starts with that letter too!
You can leave the letters on the floor after a kiddo says it OR you can have that kiddo keep the letter they got.

I have added a recording sheet as well!  If playing in a large or small group, after a letter is called out everyone can trace/color that letter.  There are two recording sheets so you can decide if you want them to just color the letter or if you want them to trace it.

Grab it HERE!

The days fly by!  I need a little extra time in the day to do everything!
Today we reviewed letter and sounds...yes I had a few that said, "Ugh this is kindergarten!" Well, ugh some of them needed the review!
I started by showing a slideshow of each letter upper/lower and a picture starting with that letter.  We went through each slide and said the letter, sound, and picture.  My attempt at trying to share this with you is saving the PowerPoint into JPEG's and saving them in a file here!  Sorry in advance if it doesn't work, I didn't have a picture of us doing it so this is the next best thing!
After we did the sounds we practiced our letter writing...we need it!  I used the two tracer sheets from my Back to School Pack!

Beach Balls!

Today was B day!  We are doing a ABC countdown and technically tomorrow is A and would be our last day, but I started our countdown a couple days earlier because the last couple of days are busy!  We started with Z and worked backwards which was fun!  Today we played a fun beach ball game!

I have a bunch of random beach balls, so I took one of those and wrote letters all over it!

Then the kids tossed the beach ball to each other in the circle.  

My kiddos would carefully catch and look at the letters their hands were covering. They would then pick one of those letters and say a word that starts with that letter.

 We had such a fun day and even got outside to blow some bubbles! :)

Winter Themed Beginning Sound Match

I never posted this before break, but I figured with winter break coming to an end it would be a perfect review for your kiddos when they return back to school!  I extended the activity by having my kiddos sound spell the words first.  They had such a fun time doing this and were so proud to show me their work.  I realized I never took a picture of the final product, but you get the idea! :)  You can find this and tons of other winter themed activities in my Let It Snow! Activity Pack
