Day 1
books-
Big 'Ee' trace
'E' trace page
'E' Do-A-Dot page
Fruit Count- I got this page from a cheap 'workbook', similar to the ones you can get at Dollar Tree.
E is for elephant trace and color
she wanted to color the elephant with her pencil instead of crayons
Elephant count & magnet page- she had to count the elephants and put the same number of pom-pom magnets on it
Ee Play-Doh mats
I tried to put plastic wrap on these since I didn't laminate them, but we ended up just taking it off because it wouldn't stay in place.
Our craft for today was an egg carton elephant. I got the idea from http://www.daniellesplace.com/html/ElephantCrafts.html (who also has tons of extra elephant resources). They turned out so cute!!
I cut the pieces out and then I let her use chalk to color in middle of the ears.
Finished project
Day 2
books-
'E' magnet page
Count and circle- again this came from a cheap 'workbook'
'E' is for Elephant puzzle- I cut this into pieces and used as a puzzle
Clothes Pin color match- match the color word on the clothes pin to the color on the paper
Coloring page
Which is different?
Biggest of all
Elephant color and glue
Our craft for day two was a paper plate elephant. We painted a paper plate, toilet paper roll, and ears gray. Then you just glue everything on and add eyes.
Day 3
books-
Bottle cap match- using letters glued onto bottle caps (Confessionsofahomeschooler.com)
Find the E's- I let her stamp them with her Do-A-Dot markers
E/e sort (COAH)
Sequencing (COAH)
baby E is trying really hard to 'help'
Color by number- she did fairly well on this considering we've never attempted something like this before. (COAH)
Writing practice (COAH)
I guess I didn't get a picture of her doing this, but I but the pages inside of her Crayola Dry Erase board
Which is different?
Count and match to the number
Color match
Shape match
Since I have to do a hand print craft every week, here was ours for letter 'E'.
And that finished up letter 'Ee' for us.
Holly, I love how your egg carton elephant came out, but you state that the source was Pinterest. While you may have seen it on Pinterest, Pinterest is not the source. This craft came from my web site from this page: http://www.daniellesplace.com/html/ElephantCrafts.html/#elephant. I would appreciate it if you could link to this page and give me credit for the craft. I am the creator. I have had it online since 2003. There is another web site that copied it, but I couldn't get them to take it down. If you link to my site, I will also link back to your blog. I would love to use your picture next to the craft with a link back to your blog. I love to show how other people are using my crafts. I have a very popular web site and I'm sure the link will help get customers to your blog. I will also state that you can find more elephant crafts and learning activities on your blog. I would also appreciate it if you take the diagram of the egg carton down. While many of my crafts are free they are still valuable to me. I use them to advertise my pay site. When other bloggers and web sites use my ideas and put up the directions, diagrams, etc. people have no reason to go back to my site and I lose customers. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteHi Caroyn! Thank you so much for letting me know! Check out the edited post and see if that's ok. I apologize, I'm by no means a professional blogger and haven't really gotten the 'hang' of it yet. Please forgive me ;)
