The Wee One has always been interested in numbers, shapes, and counting, but letter haven't been on her radar until about a month ago. She started asking me to tell her the names of all the letters she saw and I complied, but with a busy last month of summer I put off putting together any real activities. Now, I am hoping that I didn't miss the critical timing for her interest in literacy. Then again, I am not sure I would trade our last month hurrah anyway.
To kick off the our month I introduced the sensory bin, as usual, and brought back homemade play dough.

While Mister and Ladybug were at school, I took opportunity to formally introduce the letter Aa. I started off by showing her the miniatures and we named each one. Next, I showed her the sand paper letter and made the short a sound. After she repeated the sound a few times we looked at pictures of the miniatures and matched them.
By this time she was ready to do some actual work, so I gave her a new alphabet notebook - the same I used with Mister and Ladybug.

I apologize for the blurry image. The camera battery went dead right after I took this shot and my
dear husband blew up my camera trying to fix it with his man tools. I am at the mercy of any camera that I can find in the house.
