We have been having lots of fun with manipulatives lately! I love finding new ways for the kids to practice the things they know and they love playing with new things. Play really is the best form of learning at this age!
Last week, we talked about the letter F. We first played charades with words that start with F. After we were done, we took some of those words and showed them with playdoh.

Fancy
Today, we used shaving cream to practice writing letters and drawing shapes. If you can't pick them out, this picture shows F, T and C. The kids thought I was a little nuts for a minute, but once they got in there, they loved it!
Apparently our fun with shaving cream inspired them, because they continued it through snack time! They made lots of squares and triangles and then made a goose. (Inspired by the song "5 Little Geese". Yes, it is usually ducks, but we're learning about G this week. Plus, honking is so much more fun than quaking.)
