Happy Letter H (Single Stem - Alphabet)

With Valentine’s last week it only seemed appropriate that we do the letter H (for heart). Maybe you can grab some hearts on clearance and join in on the H-fun! We had a great time singing “h” songs, cutting and painting hearts, going on a hippo and heart hunt and eating some hot dogs!

Enjoy this
Happy H for
(Seedlings ~ preschool age)...

What we did for the Happy Letter H?...

Alphabet Wall:

Made a Heart H ~ I taught the boys how to fold a paper in half and cut half a heart and then unfold – we would make a big deal every time we unfolded it to see how the heart turned out. We also glued down conversation hearts and the boys ate quite a few as well.

 

 Books:

*Read Hide-and-Seek Hippo  (Alpha Tales book) and The GH Book (Bob Book Pre-Reader)

*Read many hippo books (there is just something about hippos that makes for a silly book!) ~ The Hippo-not-amus, The Hiccupotamus, The Happy Hippopotami and Hippos Go Berserk! 

Activities:

*Played Hippo and Heart Hunt  ~ we love hunts and have many hippos because that was Roly Poly’s fave animal for a while so everyone got him hippos. You could use anything that starts with an H! 

Letter Formation:
*Made a body H ~ fun to do standing or laying down

*Practiced writing H, h ~ we used white boards

Songs:

*Sang the “Letter H Song” ~ Lyrics from DLTK

Snack:

*Ate hotdogs ~ the boys wish everyday was hotdog day

More ideas…

*Have a Hat parade

*Play hopscotch!
