Time Together Tuesday of G Week

Look in a magazine this week and cut out pictures of things that begin with the letter G. Also write down words that begin with a G. Try to only use as much Green paper and Green crayons this week. Here are couple of projects you can all do together. My son loves arts and crafts and today is a great day to teach him a letter and allow him to have fun at the same time.

• Green - Cut out all different shapes with Green construction paper (triangle, square, hearts, circles, rectangles, etc.) Paste the shapes on paper and discuss them with your child.
• Giraffe - Draw the biggest giraffe you can or you can print a picture and have your child color it. Here's a link to many giraffe coloring pages http://www.coloring.ws/giraffe.htm Talk about why giraffe's have such long necks.
• Gum drop tree - Buy a styrofoam cone and attach gum drops to it with a toothpick. Fill up the cone. You can use it for decorations. Count the number of different color gum drops and then have fun eating it.
• Gorilla - Draw or color a picture of a gorilla and discuss what it it. Here's a website with a coloring page: http://www.apples4theteacher.com/coloring-pages/interactive-alphabet/letter-g/gorilla.html
• God - Have your chold draw a picture of what they think God looks like. If you have more than one child they can each draw the picture and discuss the differences.
