B & Red

I have been trying to do some education and fun activities with Emma.  We started with the letter A, and now she thinks every letter she sees is A.  But that's ok.  This week our focus was the letter B and the color red.  I have a couple of videos I like, but I try (usually) to limit our tv time, so I've been searching for ideas and crafts.  I usually print out a couple of color sheets, so she can color, and we have lots of books to read from.  This week, we had some fun new activities.  We finger painted, made a sticker / stamp paper, played with our first sensory box, and had daily snacks to go along with our letter of the week (bread, banana, blueberry yogurt, bagel).  On each Friday, we round up some of Emma's favorite things that start with that week's letter (ball, Bible, B book and banana for this week) and take a picture for the alphabet poster we are making.  Here are some pics:
Apple & A Book!

We practiced counting to 10 by tracing our hands

B is for Bible (if you can see the Bible for all the paint)

Red B stickers, B stamps and crayon

Banana, Ball, Bible and B Book

I am still cleaning up the red rice
