Letter P - Penguins Week

 These are our homeschool preschool activities for the Letter P and Penguins week. Archer was 33 months. You can see our full "curriculum" post here, but we will only use some activities each week. The majority of his time is still unstructured play. 

This was his shelf setup above his desk. I hung some bulletin board letters and his work from the week. The shelf had a letter construction capital and lowercase letters, an Alphabet ReaderMeet the Phonics Letter Reader, a peg letter and a wooden letter train car.

There were his shelves for the week. I used Magnatiles to make a P on his white board and added some magnetic letters and fridge phonics. On top I have his Alphabet Soup Can and his preschool basket.

Shelves on the left had Little Cooperation, Penguins on Ice, a car track and Tobbles. Shelves on the right had some Hot Dots, Magna Quibix, activity rings, a penguins Toob, an alphabet fishing game and a basket of cars.

Tracing cards and line tracing (free to print here).
Playdough with cookie cutters and a  letter stamper (similar to these) and see and stamps. He also used the penguins Toob to make little footprints in the dough. I got out his  alphabet dough mat, but he didn't feel like doing it.
Building a P with Cuisenaire Rods (template here)
Penguin size sorting (free to print here).
Penguin lacing (free to print here).
Tracing the letters in his dry erase coloring book.
Tracing sand paper letters and then writing them himself. He really likes this box, usually wanting to write the numbers from 1-20 (DIY tutorial here)
Letter P puzzles.
This week he rediscovered his base ten blocks (they live on a high shelf and he forgot about them). He enjoyed making some numbers.
We tried out some Hot Dots. They were not really his favorite thing. I think maybe I need to give him a more challenging book.
Alphabet fishing game, although, he prefers putting them inside and using the magnetic "cat" to get them out.
