Letter of the week – H
While being snowbound due to record breaking snowfalls we had a lot of time for some 'H' activities. I loved my friend's idea for this week: "H for housebound, hot cocoa, and holy moly this is too much snow!!" Though very funny and so true, we stuck to our Valentine theme of "H is for hearts."
Molly had fun gluing and sticking hearts for her letter H project.
For our stART project, we read the story Clifford's First Valentine's Day.
We then used a heart-shaped cookie cutter to paint hearts,
and then turned our heart stamping into valentines for some very special people!
Molly practiced her counting with Valentine candy. She enjoyed some candies along the way, and Mommy may have had a few too!
I made these alphabet matching cards as another aid for learning lowercase letters. Molly quickly realized that the colors for the pairs matched, so next time we'll try something a little different.
Other activities this week:
These word puzzles are also a fun toy to help with lowercase letters.
Finally, in honor of the Vancouver olympics, a friend hosted a "Make a flag" playdate. Molly was so proud of her new flag.

I love your letter projects – the hearts on the H is great! I can’t wait until Jillian is a little better with gluing activities so we can try them out!! And holy moly is right – that was TOO MUCH SNOW!
What a fun week!

Your friend is right-Holy Moly too much snow 🙂 Molly’s H is beautiful! The flag is really cute, too. What great ideas. Thank you for sharing!!
I love how you had your daughter use the cookie cutters to paint with. 🙂 Lots of fun activities.
Molly’s letter H project is so sweet. I really like how it turned out.
I can not get over how much snow you have had. I am completely blown away by this. It has certainly made our news over here in Australia.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and taking the time to leave a comment. I really appreciate it.
