We first traced our hands on the letter H template for letter recognition.
This is a paper I copied out of the Primary Helper Book Volume 2 for Sunbeams. One side it has "I'm thankful for my hands" and the other side has pictures of things we can do with our hands.
Hailey cut and glued hers together. (I helped guide the paper while she cut). She is getting a lot better at cutting. She tries to turn right hand at different angles to cut, so we are working on keeping the hand straight up and down.
Hailey needed a lot of help with this craft and Robert woke up and was fussy in his highchair so I didn't get a lot of pictures of this craft. Here is the finished product. This is a cute video of Hailey playing with the hippo puppets. I love hearing her talk at this age. She's still trying to figure out how to pronounce somethings.
We read "How to be a Happy Hippo" by Jonathan Shipton and Illustrated by Sally Percy. Hailey loved this book and kept saying "hippo" which made it a little difficult to read. I like the story line of the book. It's about a baby hippo who just wants to play with his dad and finally captures his dad into playing with him. Hailey is a kid who definitely needs both of her parents to be happy. I also love the illustrations. Sally Percy drew very cute hippos.
Here are our finished crafts for the letter H.
