Fish Writing

  • The girls each had a similar writing paper for the letter F. My 3 year old had a capital F and lowercase f with tracing arrows, along with a fish to color. The 5 year old had the same paper, but added a short poem and more tracing F’s and f’s on the bottom. I found both of these in the Letter F is for Fish, Firefighter, Flower Preschool Pack Digital Download.

F is for Fish Craft

I printed this F is for Fish Craft onto cardstock for the girls to paint. I cut out the capital “F” for them to paint orange. After that dried they glued it to a piece of blue construction paper. Then I cut out the head, tail, and fin for them to glue on.

Fishbowl Shapes

I printed out the  Fishbowl Shape game and then cut the pieces and laminated them. Then she reviewed her shapes as she matched up the fish with the appropriate fishbowls.

  • Alligator pie,
    Alligator pie…
    If I don’t get some…
    I think I’m gonna cry!
    Give away the green grass,
    Give away the sky,
    But don’t you give away my Alligator pie!
  • We made vanilla pudding and dyed it green, then we folded in 8 ounces of cool whip, and placed this in a graham pie crust. Refrigerate it for a couple of hours, then enjoy!

Alligator Videos

We also watched The Wild Kratts- Alligators vs. Crocodiles video that shows how the mother lays her eggs and cares for her babies.

AlphaTales

Greater Than/ Less Than

  • First we watched this Number Eating Alligator Song to learn that Mr. Alligator likes to eat the number that is more.
  • Then I printed out the Greater Than/ Less Than pieces and laminated them. I found some green buttons for the girls to count out as a visualization.
  • Each of the girls got to choose a number to place on their side of the board, then they placed the same amount of buttons to match their number. After they did this, we talked about it together to figure out if we should use the “greater than” or the “less than” alligator.

Alligator Crawl

  • The girls didn’t get to do the Alligator Crawl today, but they liked the idea. One of them had a stomachache today and the other had a nasty fall and scraped up her elbow the day before. We will probably try it in a few days when they are all healed up!
  • We also played with our Fisher Price Little People Alligators, I think these came with a Noah’s Ark set?

  • She had this little alligator finger puppet craft in her Abeka Arts and Craft with Amber Lamb book. You just color, cut, and tape. She is growling like an alligator in this picture!

Then we turned them all upside down and took turns flipping to try to find matching colors. They enjoyed this game, but had a hard time when the other girl found their favorite color.

Alligator Swamp

  • I took a big, clear, shallow, empty tub outside with the kids. I asked them what was in a swamp. First they said water, so I added some water to the tub. Next they said grass and leaves, so they all gathered some grass. And last they said that a swamp has mud, so we added a couple small shovels of dirt. I added some foam hand soap to make it bubbly, and last they put in their Schleich Alligators and Fisher Price Little People Alligators. They loved this sensory tub and played in it for quite a while, and one of them got all wet!
