Day 1

Put letter A and a (cursive and manuscript) on 12 circle stickers.  Hide them in a room.  Once she finds them, she puts them on letter A outline. (I used printed ones for this, but they were too big.  By the letter D, I just made small handwritten letters on card stock to put the stickers on).  (See picture above.)

Letter A book (I only chose three of the pages I thought she would like most.)

Cut up red pieces of construction paper and glue onto small plate for apple (see picture above)

Day 2

Paint cardboard apple and alligator plate (see picture above…I did not get a picture of the alligator.)  She ended up painting an apple on some paper, as well as painting some rocks too. The alligator was basically a large plate painted green, then folded in half.

At some point she wanted to write the letter A, so she did. (See picture above.)

Day 5

Activity sheet 4

Gather up any toys (animals are especially great for this.) And display them somewhere, museum like. (I liked this, but it ended up meaning we had a bunch of toys lying around.  By the letter D, I had learned to turn the items into dinner decorations on the table.  That way they were contained.  But, also provided conversation at the table.)

A Dinner

Appetizer: Antipasto…she had a lot of fun decorating the plate.  We included black olives, cherry tomatoes, marinated artichokes, cheese, dried beef and pickles.

Dinner: apple and lettuce salad, apple burgers (turkey burgers with grated apples in the meat), asparagus

Dessert: Apple Slump

Here it is before cooking.  Basically sliced apples, butter, cinnamon and sugar with some biscuit dough on top.  Cook it in a dutch oven for about 20 min.  Delicious!  Here’s the actual recipe.

(Other food options: avocado, apple pie, artichokes, almonds, angel food cake, angel hair pasta, acorn squash, applesauce, anchovies, andes mints)
