C Week

C is for Cloud
Read "Little Cloud".  Go observe the clouds in the sky.
Make cotton ball clouds
Do this from preschoolalphabet:
Blue Skies & White Clouds
  1. On a white piece of paper, use a white crayon to draw cloud shapes all over the paper.
  2. Give the kids a “blank” cloud paper and a cup of watered-down blue paint.
  3. Have them paint a blue sky over the whole paper, revealing all of the white clouds!
Eat blue jello with whipped cream. (clouds)

C is for Chameleon
We tried this idea.
C is for cow

C is for Cookie
Love these ideas! We did the cookie counting game except with chocolate chips instead of M&Ms.

C is for car
My son will love these ideas!

B Week

I got a lot of my ideas from preschoolalphabet.blogspot.com

B is for Bat

Read about bats and look at pictures of bats on the internet.
Go on a bat hunt.  Hide bat cut outs with googly eyes and a fact about bats written on them in white around the house like these.  Give your preschooler a flashlight and let them find the hidden bats.  When they find them, read the information about bats together.
Love this idea: http://www.readingconfetti.com/2011/10/handprint-bats.html

B is for Butterfly

We made butterfly cutouts in the shape of a B and then he painted them with water colors like these.
We also made a large flower cutout with a hole in the middle and put it over a cup with juice.  He put a straw through the whole to sip the "nectar."  We also made these butterfly cut outs and listened to the song found here.

B is for Baa Baa Black Sheep

Lots of fun from preschoolalphabet.  My son liked doing all of these.

B is for Bear

Again, lots of great ideas from preschoolalphabet.

And I love this idea to add sound effects to "We're Going on a Bear Hunt."

B is for Books

Go on a Book Scavenger Hunt (idea from here.)
