Letter Pp Week





We started off our letter P week by having pink piggie pancakes!
I added a little red food coloring to the batch which left it with a pink
look. I cut the ears in a triangle shape and used icing for his facial features.
Oh man, giggles and squiggles over this! One tot said "piggie, oink", man we really got a good laugh there!
After breakfast and potty time is when we begin our book reading and crafts.

I read the book 
How Big Is A Pig? by: Stella Blackstone
This is a book about opposites.
 It leads the reader through the farm to find the biggest pig of all.

Piggie Craft time
Items we used
paper plates
pink paint
sponge brushes
staple machine - I stapled the tail
plastic bottle top - for the nose
marker - to draw featues
googly eyes
pink construction paper - for ears
pink pipe cleaner - for tail
glue - I used tacky
scissors

Here they are painting their paper plate pig face
With a little inspection on the paint brush!
And here they are completed! 
craft found HERE

We also made another pig craft found from Pocketful of Posies above.
This will go into their binders.




They next day we had Pizza Day!
We discussed pizza toppings, and they knew this!
They also did a dot to dot pizza sheet
And I printed them a concentration game. 
And they love this game!

Wednesday was Pajama Day!
Everyone wore their pajama's and so did I!
First we read the book Llama Llama Red Pajama by: Anna Dewdney
Poor llama just misses his mama!

Llama,Llama matching pajamas!
The nice lady at Toddler Approved sent me through email the pajamas so I could use as a template.
Above you can find the mama llamas on google by searching llama llama red pajama.
I cut out different patterns for the preschoolers to match pajamas on the mama llamas.
They love love matching activities! 
Below is for the tots with solids.
Now for Pajama Day!
They brought sleeping bags and pillow pets!
They do not look sleepy,huh? They were just playing around!

Our last day on Pp they worked on the colors pink and purple.



Painting pink and purple


oops! Someone had to taste it!



They are so serious when they paint!

idea for craft found HERE and Pp template from HERE

On Pp pre-writing

I love these Ideas, how old are the kids you are doing this with? My daughter is 2 and I am not sure if these may be too advanced for her or not right now.
