Follow along with a reading of “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom” by Bill Martin Jr, then make your own Chicka Chicka Tree. Test your hands-on coordination and knowledge of the ABCs with Alphabet Toss and then Bake the Alphabet for a tasty afternoon snack!
Take Hide and Seek to a whole new level with this Alphabet Seek and Find activity.
Relax and listen as Ms. Jane reads “Paddington at the Carnival” by Michael Bond, then explore the alphabet with Paddington as he gets in everyday mischief with “Paddington’s A B C” by Michael Bond. Create your own Alphabet Flip Book, then go on an adventure Hunting Letters. How many hidden letters can you find? Teach your parents The Alphabet Song, we bet they haven’t heard this one before!
Follow along with a reading of “If I Were an Astronaut” by Eric Brown, then learn a fun new song. Create your own spinning planets and then relax with some Space Yoga. Once relaxed you will be ready to make your own Moon Sand in the kitchen!
