Welcome to our next letter of the week! We did a few letter L and ladybug activities!
Keep scrolling to see what Sweet E did this week, or click on the links below to revisit similar themes I've done with her big brother and big sister.

The Letter L - 2013
Introducing the Letter L
I created another page for Sweet E to learn the letter L, which including tracing, stamping, poking, building with tape, and painting with a q-tip.
I try to mix up the building portion of this worksheet, to give her some variety. For previous letters, we've done playdoh, craft sticks, string, blocks, etc.
And she loves using the giant pushpin!
Here is the completed page!
Though just as last week, she saw it hanging up near her craft table a few days later, and asked to do it again. So we just went right over everything in another color.
One-to-One Correspondence - Ladybug Math
I created this playdoh mat (and others) many years ago, and we keep coming back to it! I took a die from a game, with the numbers 1-6. Then I asked Sweet E to roll the die to see how many spots to put on the ladybug.
This was a great activity! First she had to count the dots on the die, then say the number, and finally, roll the pieces of dough into balls.
We did this several times until she had gotten each number on the die.
Ladybug Craft
It seemed like a good time for a glue craft! So I gave Sweet E a paper plate and several red tissue paper squares to stick all over it.
Once it was filled, she glued on some black circles for the ladybug's spots.
Finally, a half circle for the head, and two eye stickers!
Alphabet Scavenger Hunt
I was inspired by a post from No Time for Flashcards to do a bug hunt. But I made my own, since we were limited to ladybugs. First I hid our ladybug letters around the backyard, and then I set Sweet E out in search of them!
Each time she found one, she had to come put them into our bug jar. I'm not the best at drawing, but I think it resembles a jar well enough. LOL. In case it became windy, I had laid a piece of contact paper (sticky-side-up) over the jar, to help them stay in place.
I had also traced each ladybug in advance, so she not only matched the letters, but turned them to fit like a puzzle.
She loved searching for ladybugs!
Here is her completed jar!
Letter L Review
Sweet E is always asking for "homework" when her big brother and big sister are doing theirs. So I've been printing these great free printables from Teachers Pay Teachers.
She loves these!
