Apple Stamping
Apple stamping is a lot of fun. Cut an apple in half, and carve out the shape of the letter "A". Have your child stamp the letter on a sheet of paper and say the "A" sound each time they stamp. Acrobatics
Invite the children to perform acrobatic feats such as somersaults, head stands, back bends, bridges, rocking horses, etc. Be sure to put down a gym mat. I know my Address!
Encourage your child to memorize his or her address. "A" is for animals
Cut out magazine pictures of animals, glue them on construction paper and put the pictures together in a picture book. "A" is for Antarctica, Africa, and Australia
Use a globe or world map to show your child where these different continents are compared to our own. You can also explore what kinds of toys children on these continents play with, and show the children how to make their own. Grow Your Own Avocado Plant!
Get several avocados. Cut them open to remove the pits. Help the children plant the pits by sticking three toothpicks in the sides of each pit, evenly spaced. Fill a small glass with water, and set the pits so that the pointed end of the pit is in the water. Watch the root of the avocado grow, then replant in loose soil. This makes a beautiful plant, but it will usually not yield avocados, as most avocado trees take an average of 13 years to produce fruit, and they must be cross-pollinated with other avocado trees to produce fruit.
