Letter D, Dog, & Diamond Sponge Painting Invest in some Alphabet and misc. sponges for crafts like this. They are about $2 or $3 per bag at Walmart. Also available from school supply stores. We use ours to make a page like this for every letter we are learning from September through May. Parents are encouraged to take them home and post them where the child can see and practice every day. When we finish the entire alphabet they can make them into a book or put them into a binder. "Dd" is for Drum. Make a drum. Any food container with a plastic lid will work . You can use margarine tubs, coffee cans, oatmeal canisters, etc. Wrap brightly colored construction paper around your drum and glue into place. Children can decorate the drum with paper scraps, yarn, and other miscellaneous craft materials. Use a permanent marker to write both an upper and lower case d on the plastic lid. Use pencils as drum sticks and as the children beats the drum they should say "d, d, d, d, d." It might also be fun to turn on a cd and beat along with the music. "Dd" is for Dog Stuff a brown or white paper bag with newspaper. Fold down the top and staple. Give children eyes nose tounge and ears to glue to the top and make the face. Glue paw prints on the bottom of the bag and a tail on the back. Print letter Dd on a dog tag and glue onto the neck area. Group Time Activity "Dd" Detectives Ahead of time, write many different capital and lowercase letters on small sticky notes and place them all around the room. Ask for volunteers who would like to be the "D detectives". Let your detectives carry magnifying glasses to look for capital and lowercase d's around the room. After they've each found one, have them bring the letters to you. Play with new volunteers until everyone has had a turn. Back to Themes, Crafts, and Activities Email Sheril!
