The Kit and Caboodle : Diggin' Up Dinosaurs

Theme: Letter "D"
So much fun with letter "D" this week! I think our favorite "D" word is "Daddy!"

Choosing Time: Play-Dough with "D" & Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs, Dragons, Dolls, Dress-ups, Dominoes...

Show & Tell: Some of our friends brought a dragon, dollar, doll, dog, ...so fun to see.

Field Trip to Krispy Kreme Donuts:
We had a great time at Krispy Kreme! We had fun in the Big Blue Bus looking for the letters A, B, C, & D! This is a great Driving game. The employees were so kind to answer many questions the kiddos had. All were concerned when the donuts didn't flip over properly. Some were also worried that going through the "wall" of frosting didn't coat the whole donut :) All were super well-behaved and had an enjoyable experience.

Music & Movement:

Dinosaur Stomp
Duck, Duck, Goose
I'm So Glad When Daddy Comes Home

Snacks:

Donuts
Decorated Graham Crackers with Peanut Butter & Raisins
Donuts & Dried Fruit

Questions of the Week:

Do you like Donuts?
Do you like Dirt?
Do you like Ducks?

Writing:

We practiced writing "C" & "D".
I posted some "D" words on a magnet board. Some of the kiddos chose to "write" the words using ABC magnets.
We practiced writing our names by dabbing them with paint dots.
We practiced writing "Dad"

Game: I put 8 dinosaur erasers into small plastic eggs labeled with the letter D. There were lots of other empty plastic eggs with other ABC letters. All of the eggs were buried in a large tub of sunflower seeds. The kiddos were able to dig for a "D" egg and find a dinosaur to keep. The only rule was that each child could only take one "D" egg.
