The letter A-again!!

I decided to do the letter A again with Tristan. I had much more time to prep, and I used multiple themes for the letter A instead of just one. I found a bulletin board that Tim had and never used, and I am using it to hang Tristan's artwork on. The first thing I hung up was a capital letter A that I drew, and I placed this at the top.

Projects were all made on different days.

For our first project, we made an alligator A. Tristan colored the A, and even helped glue on the triangle teeth. I just put the glue dots down, and he stuck the teeth on top of the dots. This project was really easy and I think it turned out cute!!

We also made a sprinkle letter A. I poured glue in a capital A, and we put sprinkles on top of the A. Tristan didn't always put the sprinkles on the glue, but he did like sprinkling them onto the paper.

We also made a pom pom apple tree. Tristan colored the tree trunk and painted the top of the tree, but he had no interest in gluing the pom poms onto the tree.

Finally, we made apple prints. This was super easy. Just cut an apple in half and dip it into some paint and press it onto your paper. Tristan understood the concept and would dip his apple into paint and then press it onto the paper. Tim informed me that the apple prints looked more like rear end prints, and I would have to agree, but it was fun nonetheless.

Books:
Each week we go to the library to get books, and I am so glad that Tristan likes to read. He loves it, in fact. He very frequently wants to have books read to him, and I am happy to do so every time. This week, we did get books to go with our theme of letter A, but I also got a variety of others.

Hello Baby-This is a book about baby animals, and Tristan LOVED . You can ask Tim, I have probably read this book to Tristan at least 150 times in the past week, no kidding!! He wants to hear it over and over.

Dog Food-this is a cute book where all the dogs are made out of food. This has been his second favorite book this week, although it doesn't come close to Hello Baby.

Baby Animals: this is mostly a picture book with pics of real animals, and he likes to sit and look at this book on his own. Sometimes he'll look at this book while I am getting ready in the morning, and I hear him practicing naming all the animals. He has taken a major interest in eagles. He likes birds in general, but he specifically points out eagles in books we have that contain pictures of eagles along with other birds.

Dinosaur Roar: We own this book, and Tristan never gets tired of this one!!
