P, P, What Begins With P

You know how Sesame Street has a letter of the day each show? Well, we are going to have a letter of the day today - P. You could really have fun with it and feed your kids meals that are "p" foods... pancakes, pork chops, peas, potatoes, popsicles, pickles, pizza, etc.



Craft Time: Break out old circulars or magazines that you can cut up. Make a collage on construction paper of things that begin with the letter P. If your kids are young, do the cutting for them, but then let them glue the pictures onto the paper.



Outdoor Time: Play Pretend. Let your kids decide who they will be and what adventure they will go on. Get into the game with them and ask them questions to prompt their imagination further. Ex: Okay, we are Dora and Diego and we are going to the mountain. How are we getting there? Are we walking, hopping, taking a scooter?



Music Time: Teach your kids the song Puff the Magic Dragon. You can get all the lyrics and music here.



Story Time: Look through your collection of books for "P" stories - either the title or the main character. Harold and the Purple Crayon would work for example with the purple crayon being prominant throughout the book. :)



Art Time: Pink and purple art time. Give your kids a sheet of art paper and all the different shades of pink and purple crayons. See what creative designs they can make with just those colors.



Indoor Time: Puzzle time. Bring out your puzzles and spend some time putting them together with your kids.
