Monkey J loves his letters and we often do letter searches like this one:
Because I haven't had the word "pirate" spelled out as much around the house I normally do during theme weeks, I left the word front and center on the wall and then placed letters, including the ones needed to spell "pirate" in random order:
It took Monkey J no time at all to find the correct letters to spell pirate!
We then placed the letters on a blue poster board and I let him decorate it with some fun stickers:
This is typically a project I would do during the beginning of our theme week to introduce the theme and help with word recognition, but we've been a bit thrown off this week with our beach trip coming up on Saturday.
We also squeezed in a craft. You will need:
- Brown paint
- Egg Carton
- Scissors
- White paper
- Toothpicks
- Markers
You will first paint the egg carton brown. You can do single egg cartons for smaller ships, which I did for Monkey A, but Monkey J wanted a bigger ship:
I then made flags using toothpicks and white paper. Monkey J directed me with which color stripes he wanted the flags to be. You then simply poke the toothpick flags into the carton:
And you've got yourself a pirate ship!
Ooops, just missing the Captain ;)
