Play Group Letter L

I had letter L for Jaxson’s play group.  We focused on ladybugs so I made these pretzels for snack and served them with lemonade.

Here is the link for the tutorial for the pretzels.  http://www.beeinourbonnet.com/2011/05/ladybug-party-with-katie.html 

Then we played a lily pad game.  I made a bunch of lily pads with pictures on them and put them all out on the floor.  I chanted this poem while they danced and jumped from lily pad to lily pad. 

Playing and jumping on the lily pads

There were lots of little children who were very glad

laughing and looking Jaxson found

a lily pad with a lllll sound.

Then each child had a chance to find one with a picture on it that started with L.  When they found it they got to tape it to the lake I made on the wall.  I didn’t get any pictures of it before I took it down. 

Then they got to play with these ladybug launchers.  Here is the tutorial for them.  http://www.cometogetherkids.com/2011/09/mini-marshmallow-shooters-or-pom-pom.html  They pulled the knotted part of the balloon and the ladybugs shot across the room.  This was a big favorite of the day.

We also made these paper ladybugs.   Our number for the day was twelve so they glued the number twelve on the body and then glued 12 spots on its wings.
