Letter E/Elephant Preschool Theme

 Today we talked about the letter E and what goes along perfectly with the letter E?  Elephants, of course!

Visit Starfalll for the letter E activities there.

Here are a few of the activities from Confessions of a Homeschooler that we did today.

My son always enjoys doing the lacing card and he looks like he is concentrating so hard on it.

I don't have a source for this cute elephant because it was a copy I got while I was a college student.  We sang a cute elephant song with it though.

"One elephant went out to play on a spider's web one day.  

He had such enormous fun he called for another elephant to come."

The song can continue on going up a number to fit your needs.  You could also put some tape on the ground to pretend it is a spider's web.

Here is a cute elephant craft with paint and a handprint.  There are some other cute elephant themed activities on this site as well.

Here is a great resource for elephant printables, crafts, and a few videos we had fun watching.

This site has  a fun collection of elephant themed books to read with your little one.

Dr Seuss: Horton Hatches the Egg

Today was a low-key preschool day.  We read "Horton Hatches the Egg" and talked about what it means to be faithful and how Horton was faithful throughout the book.

Then we made a paper plate elephant.  You can find a template at Seussville.

 This little activity came from a pack I found on What a Teacher Wants.  He decided if he could mix two animals together he would have a monkey and an elephant.

 My little one wanted a turn showing off the book we read today too.
