Preschool Homeschool : The Letter N
We opted to homeschool instead of enrolling our son in standard Pre-K. I am sharing with you some of the activities we did to learn about the letter N. Whether you homeschool or not, these are short and sweet ways to reinforce letter learning.
We had Chicken Nuggets for lunch and we read The Best Nest by P.D. Eastman. I was lucky enough to be able to rent it, digitally, from my local Library using Overdrive.
Walphabet’s ABCs Song : We always start with an ABC song. It is something that they can get excited about, since they generally know the tune, and that everyone can enjoy.
I poured Pickling Salt into a cookie sheet and shook it a bit to make it flat. (You can use whatever salt you want… or sand… or whatever…) Then, I drew an example and the kids practiced “writing” the letter “N”. My son (4) especially loves this activity. My daughter (2) enjoys it too. Fun sensory play!
Highlight-a-Letter by Babbling Abby. I use these for my oldest (4), while my youngest (2), colors on her own so that I can assist her brother. She got Nessa (My Big Big Friend) today.
We did an N is for Nest craft, inspired by Play and Learn with Dana.
This was a perfect activity to review the story from earlier. I didn’t bother with a bird, since the letter N is for Nest, and I didn’t want a B reference confusing them. They chose how much to stuff the nest and how many eggs to put into it.
Both kids enjoyed this. Fun!!
Starfall’s Letter N Activity : These great, flash, interactive activities are a wonderful and FREE resource, as well! The kids really enjoy them! The whole set is available in the Google Play store for Android, Amazon App Store or iTunes!
We hung the Letter N on the wall.
I hope you enjoyed! I look forward to sharing more!
