Teaching Tots- Sparkling Letters

Earlier this week, I posted that we made a sparkling fish using sequins, and suggested that you could read the book Rainbow Fish, for a literacy activity.
We also used those same sequins to finish our letter K and letter Q pictures.
I found this king picture on coloring-ws. We used the sequins to give him jewels on his crown.
And, what's a king without his queen? We glued sequins on her earings.

And, on her necklace. We also glued jewels on her crown.
Gretchen is loving the more hands-on rather than the coloring, but she will color a little bit. I place dots of glue onto her paper, because I'm not brave enough to give my 2 year old a bottle of glue and let her have at it!
We did these 3 activities (fish, king, and crown) while I was making dinner one evening. This kept her busy and I was able to finish an entire meal!

  2. I think I will steal this idea too! I hoping to do and finish this before daddy comes home from fishing so we can give it to him for father's day!
