Y for Yellow

August 27, 2009 by Ami 4 Comments

If you are new to Read to Me & ABC, please start here.

Read to Me

Our main book of the week was Yellow Ball by Molly Bang.

Alphabet Art- Yellow Yarn Y

Supplies
Y Pattern (large capital Y)
glue (Aleene's Tacky Glue is great)
yellow yarn cut into strips

Add glue to the Y. Let your preschooler add the pieces of yarn to the Y. 

Lessons & Lapbook

I used the lapbook from Homeschool Share.  I also used a few of the Y printables from the Alphabet Notebook page at Homeschool Share.  

Let's Make a Memory ~ Yellow Day!

The boys got up and got dressed in yellow shirts. We made a yellow breakfast (pancakes with a bit of yellow food coloring) and a yellow lunch (scrambled eggs, banana, pineapple juice . . . a bit weird, I know!). We also painted yellow and Simon got a yellow ball to play with.  He even went to sleep with it (just like the boy in the book!).

Book Basket
