The girls had fun learning about lions today. They loved all of the painting and crafting. Storm just loves big cats. We got our recourses for today from the Letter L is for Lion, Letter Carrier, & Love Preschool Pack Digital Download.
Lion Science
- I read the letter L from the Abeka Animal Friends Flashcards to learn more about the lions. We watched Larry Lion Song to go with the card.
- Then we watched the The Lion and the Mouse from The Good and the Beautiful video.
- She also did her Lion page from her Abeka Letters & Sounds for 3’s book.
- She also painted some a paper plate to make a lion mask from her Abeka Arts and Crafts with Button Bear book.
- They wore their masks and make loud Lion Roars too.
- We reviewed all of the sounds we have learned so far with the Abeka Alphabet Flashcards.
- Last we watched Wild Kratts Lion King and Queen of the Jungle.
Lion Writing
- The girls each had a similar writing paper for the letter L. My 3 year old had a capital L and lowercase l with tracing arrows, along with a lion to color. The 5 year old had the same paper, but added a short poem and more tracing L’s and l’s on the bottom. I found both of these in the Letter L is for Lion, Letter Carrier, & Love Preschool Pack Digital Download.
L is for Lion Craft
- I printed this L is for Lion Craft onto cardstock for the girls to paint. I cut out the capitol “L” for them to paint orange. After that dried they glued it to a piece of green construction paper. Then I cut out the head, tail, and legs for them to glue on.
Lion Ten Frame
- I printed out the Lion Ten Frame game and then cut the pieces and laminated them. Then she would tell me what the number is on the Daddy lion’s sign. Then she counted out the correct number of cubs to add to the ten frame.
Four Lions
- The girls each had a similar number 4 paper for counting lions. My 3 year old had the number 4 with tracing arrows, along with a helpful poem, and 3 lions to color. The 5 year old had the same paper, but added more tracing 4’s on the bottom. I found both of these in the Letter L is for Lion, Letter Carrier, & Love Preschool Pack Digital Download.
Lion Mane Craft
- I printed out the Lion Mane Craft onto cardstock for the girls to watercolor. After is dried we cut it out. Then the girls cut strips of orange, yellow, and brown construction paper. They curled the strips of paper on a pencil and then glued them to the lion’s mane.
Lion Tracing
- She also Helped the Lions get to the savannah by tracing the curvy lines.
Lion Color Match
- I printed out the Lion Color Match game, and cut them out. I laminated them and the cut them again. Then we turned them all upside down and took turns flipping to try to find matching colors. They enjoyed this game, and did great taking turns.
My “L” Book
- I read the My “L” Book by Jane Belk Moncure to the girls too.
