Preschool Homeschool : The Letter O

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 O. Whether you homeschool or not, these are short and sweet ways to reinforce letter learning.

For snack, we made Oatmeal Cookies. We also had Oranges and Olives!

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 “O”. My son (4) especially loves this activity. My daughter (2) enjoys it too. Fun sensory play!

Sesame Street Letter O

Highlight-a-Letter by Babbling Abby. I use these for my oldest (4), with the more complicated page (including tracing and printing space) on the first day and the less complicated one for review on the second.

My youngest (2), colors on her own so that I can assist her brother with this. She got O the Owl (Daniel Tiger) today.
