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.)

Cute caterpillar and butterfly preschool ideas!

B is for Bird

For B we talked about birds. We read some nonfiction and fiction about birds that I got from the library. Then we made this picture using branches from our tree and pictures of birds from a magazine. We also made bird feeders from pinecones. This website has a cute idea for binoculars to go bird watching: http://www.amazingmess.com/2010/11/binocular-craft-for-birdwatching.html

B is for Bear

We had a bear party! Bring all your teddy bears to read bear books and have Teddy Grahams. There are so many good bear books to find. You can also watch "Brother Bear".

For Math we sorted some gummy bears and charted them according to color.

This blog has some fun crafts to do with "Brown bear, brown bear"and "Polar Bear, Polar bear" : http://jennwa.blogspot.com/2010/01/brown-bear-brown-bear-and-polar-bear.html

B letter creations

We made these cute B's based on the blog below.

My son really enjoyed making a collage of pictures of things that start with B.
