The Letter "H"

So I have been working with my son MJ (3) on his writing letters and so on... Here is some of the stuff we did for the letter "H"
We started with the letter "H" because we were going over his Cubbie (AWANA ministry) book trying to achieve the Apple Tree sticker and there was a little Project that you could do to help you remember the verses and they were chain HEARTS. So then I got way ambitious and thought that we could make some for the other Cubbies  (AWANA age 3-5) seeing how it was January we would have time for V-Day.

So the chain hearts are easy to do. You fold a piece of paper into a fan and then make a cut out of a heart half.

Once you finish the  folding the paper all the way then you simply cut a heart shape out but you only have to cut the large curve and the angle.

Then unfold it and you can add what ever you would like. My son loves to put the first verse that he learned on it " 1 John 4:8 God is love".  We added some stickers on them and a colored on them and made an awesome memory and project that he helped with.

We had fun sending them to our cousins and Grandparents! This is one of them that we sent on to some of the family Of course it is a different verse than I had mention.

So then we started to talk about other things that begin with a "H." We then complied a this of things that began with "H" such as hat, hair, head, happy, hazel, heart and hippopotamus. So then I made a quick scrabble to the craft area and pulled out a bunch of things that we could do to make stuff with the letter "H." We grabbed some popsicle sticks, felt, sharpie, yarn, and paper with handwriting paper.

We then made the letter "H" with popsicle sticks. 

I then wanted to describe to my son with word actions of how to create the capital letter H.

Big line down. Big line down. Little line across. 

He really seems to understand those terms. For his first attempt at drawing the letter H he did a very impressive job.

Then we drew a head I tried to make a face shape with a sharpie on the and got some glue and glued some hair to it. 

He was super pumped about the one on one time with his momma since his brother was napping and he also really likes to learn so this was right up his alley.

I think we will do a letter of the week for a little bit and  continue to work on his verses for Awana together.
