Letter Dd - What's on the Tray?

Super Tot is 32 months old.

Here are some activities I have planned for this week, as we work on the letter Dd.

Do-A-Dot Color Match
Place one dot in each circle/box below the colored circle of the same color.
Printable available below the photograph.
~color matching, one to one correspondence, fine & gross motor~
 

Count the Dogs
Count the number of dogs in each row.  Place the correct number disk in the empty box in front of each row.
I made the number disks by placing round number sticker on the front and back of  transparent plastic counters.  You could also have your child write the correct number in the box or place a number sticker in the box.  The printable for this activity is available below the photograph.
~counting, number recognition, fine motor if writing or using stickers~

Counting with Little Quack
As we read Little Quack, place one duckling from the cup onto the blue pond mat with the mommy duck as each new duckling in the story leaves the nest and braves the water.
Little Quack is one of Super Tot's favorite books.  I thought it would be fun to have an easy read-along activity to do to go along with Dd week.  The duck printables are available here.

David & Goliath "Big & Little" Sorting
After reading the story of David & Goliath, place the little items in the "David" bowl and the big items in the "Goliath" bowl.  
I printed off large & small versions of 10 different pictures (all starting with the letter D) for this activity.  I thought it would be a fun way of reenforcing the difference in size of David & Goliath.
~Bible lesson, sorting by size~

Feed the Dogs
Place the bones into the correct dog's mouth based on the case of the letter Dd on the bone.
I made the dogs by covering empty food boxes with construction paper and cutting the mouths out with a craft knife.

Sorting Dinosaurs
Sort dinosaurs by type.
The dinosaurs were in a bag of Halloween treats in the seasonal section of Target.  There are 5/ea of 6 different dinosaurs.

Alphabet Puzzles
Complete the Alphabet Puzzles for the letters we have covered so far this year (Aa-Dd). 
The puzzles are available here from Confessions of a Homeschooler

Shape Puzzle
Complete puzzle by matching shapes.
~shape recognition, matching, problem solving, fine motor~

I SPY the Letter "Dd"
Circle all Uppercase and Lowercase Dd's.
This continues to be one of Super Tot's favorite activities each week.
~letter recognition, fine motor, pre-writing~
Super Tot will also be doing the following 2 letter crafts from our Letter Book, which you can read about here.

"D" is for Dog and "d" is for dinosaur.
