So we didn't really get through our letters this summer. But we are still working on it... slowly but surely. We are about half way through so maybe before Peter starts Kindergarten. ;) There's the talk about sensory integration that I wish I understood better so today we wrote and finger painted our J. Then we just finger painted. This isn't Peter's idea of a good time. After therapy this morning, Peter wanted to come home and play Buzz Lightyear and Woody and Lily wanted to finger paint. So they played for a while and then we painted. Peter was a really good sport about it.
After each finger, he'd complain "WET FINGER!" and I would wipe it off but then he'd go for more.
At one point he said:
P: Lily, are you all done?
L: No
P: Well, I better do more like you!
So sweet. I love their finished products :)
Cute! Have you tried using shaving cream for letter drawing, or put the paint in a ziplock bag and let them "paint and erase" the letter?
ReplyDeleteWhat about writing the letter with a white crayon on white paper and having them paint the paper with watered down paint, magic letters! Or taping letters to the window and letting them trace them on paper on the opposite wall, I know how you kiddos love playing with shadows :). Have fun!!
ReplyDeleteOr tracing with their finger on sandpaper!
