K is for Kid!

When you get right down to it there are not that many words that really come to mind that start with K that are in our day to day vocabularies.  So I decided to keep it simple and stick to the things that Kids love most, animals!
I learned from the kids that K is a letter that can be a bit tricky to write, but with enough practice they started to get the hang of it.  And don't even get me started on the fact that some K words sound like they could start with the letter C.  In my mind they are still 3 and just getting them to learn the sound that it makes and how to write it is plenty for now.  So when we were working on those basics we:

* Made a Kangaroo puppet.  I used a template from a website and cut out arms, ears, a nose, eyes, a tongue, a pouch and a baby kangaroo to go in the pouch.  The kids then glued on all of the body parts on to a paper bag and had a blast making their Kangaroos hop with their hands.

* We colored a Koala and talked all about them.


* We made Kites on a page and colored a picture where the Kite was flying.  You will notice I cut out a colored kite from construction paper and glued it on the page along with a piece of yearn to show it was flying in the sky.  The Kids loved using their imaginations to show where the Kite was flying.  I wanted to show them an actual Kite in the sky but we just didn't have the wind for it.
