Letter Q

This really doesn't have anything to do with the letter Q but I found this game and Education.com and it was too cute. I just had to make it. It is called Monster Mix-ups. You roll the die and move around the board collecting monster pieces (head, body, feet). The education value? Probably not much, maybe number recognition using the die. The fun value - she loved it. She wants to play it again tomorrow. You will have to excuse the way she was dressed. No, it is not warm here but she said she wanted to "air out." So, she didn't put on her shirt that I laid out for her. She left her favorite princess t-shirt on and as you can tell, she had lunch in it and shared it with her shirt. I asked her what she got on the front, her reply "tomatoes, I forgot to lean over!"

Q is for quilt. We looked up q words in the picture dictionary and then we created a pattern block quilt. This was found at Confessions of a Homeschooler. She has lots of activities for the letter q.

Q is for quail. We read about quail in our Science ABC book of animals and J colored her quail. If you notice, she also wrote a q next to her quail. The quail was found at Making Learning Fun.

J stamped a q with quails. I love these stamps. They were purchased at Michael's. They have an animal for every letter in the shape of that letter.

We are still learning about the zoo. J is separating animals into those that eat plants and those that eat meat. This was really too easy for her. She asked me if the words above each column said "herbivore or carnivore." I had to tell her no. This cute activity was found at 2 Teaching Mommies. I haven't been able to access this site for a long time, not sure why. Sometimes access goes in and out with the tide. But this is a great site, with lots of printable activities and fun stuff to do. I hope I will be able to access this website again.

Q for quail. She colored a quail and traced her Q's. This coloring page was found here.

Q is for castle? Nah, but every castle needs a queen! I printed this castle on card stock and J painted it with water colors. I then cut out each piece for her to glue together as she wanted. a mighty castle indeed, don't you think? The castle was found here.

Q is for Queen and here is Queen J! I altered a picture of a queen and added J's pic. She then painted it for her castle. Isn't she cute? Queen/princess found here.

And I had to add some pics of my sweet pea. He is so much fun. I just love that smile.

Don't you love that hair? More stuff to come...have a great one!
