Letter W- Outside Edition

As long as it’s nice out, I like to do a lot of our “homeschool” outside! We had some fun with the letter W!

Letter W Hunt!

I made this for my girls. Hopefully it will print easily. You can find this here
I incorporated tally marks for my Kindergartener. Here’s a way to help them remember!

W is for Windy Weather 💨

I saw this on Pinterest and HAD to try it!! Super simple. Using a dry erase marker, draw on bottom of dry, glass dish. At the corner of the dish, pour room temp water in SLOWLY. Watch your writing lift up and float around. 🤯 It works best the slower you pour water in, I gave them each a little water bottle. I used a clear dish and put white paper underneath to get a better visual. I wasn’t sure if the dry erase markers would seep in and stain my white dishes. You have to thoroughly dry dish after each round! But so, so fascinating.
We pretended to be the wind and blow the letters around! 💨

Windy day- DIY Kite

Brown paper bag and string! We decorated ours with do-a-dot markers.
Before hole punching, reinforce bag with tape to make it a bit more durable.

DIY Wands!

Go on a nature hunt for the perfect stick for your wand! Find some pretty flowers and tie them around. So easy and a new, well-loved “toy” for your children! My girls love, love, loved making these! 👑 🌸

Pick Weeds!

I gave the girls each a bucket and told them their goal was to fill them up with weeds!! You can make it a game, to see who can fill it up first! 🏅I put some Disney music on and they really enjoyed this!
(Win/Win🤣)

W is for 🍉

This is a page from Fun with Mama. Rowan’s teacher dropped off the packet and it has some great resources in it! I especially liked this number puzzle. I colored and laminated it and ideally would have glued magnets on the back. I love that it is self-correcting so the children work on it independently.
We tried the dry erase magic drawing watermelons too! 🍉
Make a Watermelon fan.
Cut a paper plate in half, decorate like a watermelon and hot-glue a popsicle stick on for handle.
Form the letter W with Wikki Stix! A great, hands-on tool for letter formation!!
