The Letter D

Week 4. The letter D.


Dinosaur and Dirt 

The creative art project for the capital letter D was to make a dinosaur. The lower case d we made using dirt. Students had a blast playing with dirt to create the letter d. We also had some pretty interesting dinosaurs made.

Dinosaur D materials
- the capital letter D with the middle already cut out
- triangles out lined for students to cut out
-glue
-scissors
-googly eyes
-outlined circle for the head
-rectangle outlined for the neck and legs
-markers for kids to color/draw a face

Dirt d Materials
- pre made lower case letter d
- sheet of black construction paper
- dirt
-glue
-smocks

Although this is a capital letter D. We did the 

same concept for a lower case d. 

      

Dino Dig 

We filled our sensory table full of play sand that we purchased from out local hardware store. Inside our sensor table we placed dinosaur bones for our students to find. Also in the sensory table we added small dinosaurs that we previously had. 

Dinosaur Fossils

We created dinosaur fossils! The students found this task very interesting when it was all complete. First we had students press small toy dinosaurs into a flat piece of white Crayola model magic. Once they had made their fossil, it took about a day and a half for the fossil pieces to dry. Once dry our students were given the opportunity to paint there dinosaur fossils. The paint really brought out the impressions of the dinosaurs. 

This activity required 

- White Crayola Model Magic (pictured above) 

- small plastic dinosaurs

-paint

-smocks

-paint brushes

-wax paper (to have models dry on)
