We had so much fun with our letter Aa activities last week! Super Tot even memorized his first 2 Bible verses! This is HUGE, as he has only really been combining syllables/words for about 2-3 months. The verses he memorized were:
"All have sinned." ~ Romans 3:23
and
"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." ~Joshua 24:15
I didn't approach the verses with any thought of memorization at all. I was just reading them to him to go along with our letter Aa activities. We talked about them and he repeated them each a few times on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday, he said them to me on his own. I couldn't believe it! I am so excited to add scripture memory to our Tot School. He was so proud of himself, and I am delighted that he is hiding God's word in his heart at such a tender young age! Thank you for allowing me to Mommy-brag for a moment.
Here are the activities we have planned to go along with the letter Bb.
Uppercase & Lowercase Basketball Sorting
Place each basketball into the appropriate goal based on the letter written on the ball.
I simply cut circles out of orange construction paper and drew the seams on. The basketball goal printable is available below the photograph (print landscaped). I added the letters to the printable after I wrote them onto mine.

Cutting & Pasting
Paste the various items onto the sheets (berries, buttons, balloons, etc.)
The book I got these from is available here. I will cut the actual items out, but I will allow Super Tot to assist, as well as to cut on the extra paper.

Big / Little Bear Sort
Sort the bears by size.
I cut these bear photographs from a decoupage book my husband's great grandmother gave us. You could easily print photos from online.

I SPY the Letter "Bb"
Circle all Uppercase and Lowercase Bb's.
Super Tot LOVED this activity last week. I printed the sheet onto 8 1/2 x 11 paper and placed it in a page protector. I gave him a dry erase marker & eraser, and he did this over and over all week. You can click on the photo and print it landscaped to use on your own, as well. I will be doing this with every letter.

Super Tot will also be doing the following 2 letter crafts.
B is for Beaver and b is for balloon.
These are part of a letter book I put together for him, which you can read about and see all of our letter crafts here.
The Bible verses we will be working this week are:
"Be kind and compassionate to one another." ~Ephesians 4:32
"Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved." ~Acts 16:31
