Preschool Corner ~ Ocean Week 2

We are still learning about the ocean and all the fascinating creatures that live there.

Book of the Week and Craft

We read lots of books this week, but Aiden’s favorite books were Clumsy Crab and The Magic School Bus Gets Crabby. 

   

I found a cute crab craft here.   We changed our crab a little and added toothpicks to the small Styrofoam balls, the eyes, so they would stick up and adding claws cut out of construction paper.

      

Letters, Numbers and Colors

Aiden still doesn’t understand the difference between a letter and number.  He calls everything letters ~ such as “that is the letter 1”.  To help him understand the difference between a letter and number we played a Number or Letter ~ Sorting Activity.  I added foam letters and numbers to a pan of water and gave him a small strainer to fish out them out.

 

I printed pages titled Letters and Numbers, put them in page protectors so the letters and numbers would stick, and taped them to the wall.

He would say the letter or number and the color and stick it the correct sheet.

Science:

I gave Aiden a container of dirt and grass and a container of water. 

 

He sorted our plastic animals into the containers ~animals that live on land and animals that live in the water.

           

Lunch Time

Just for fun ~ we had octopus hot dogs and

 

clam cookies for our lunch one day.

 

That was our week!  To check out more Preschool ideas and activities visit Preschool Corner!
