Using Grocery Store Items for Preschool and Homeschooling Activities
Small town living is nice, but it can make it difficult to find materials and resources for home-school and preschool activities and lessons without having to order them online. I'm always on the lookout for schooling materials - even when I go grocery shopping.
A trip to the local grocery store inspired a series of blogs about activities you can do using just materials that you find in a grocery store. On this trip I picked up a box of individually packaged Alphabet Cookies, 2 packs of Alphabet magnets, a small set of tongs, and a set of 6 magnetic bag clips in different colors.
In Part 1, we used the alphabet cookies to match with the letter magnets in order to work on letter recognition. Carrie and I continued working with the magnets, but this time we stuck them to the refrigerator. I put them on the fridge in alphabetical order in order to sing the ABC song and count them (that's the first thing Carrie wanted to do.
After singing and counting. I spelled out a few words using the magnets. "Hex" is a particular one because Carrie loves Sofia the First and especially one particular episode in which one of the characters is putting "hexes" on people. I tried to do words that had one letter from each color group to help prompt Carrie to put the letter back in the correct order. As I mentioned in part one, I meant to get a cookie sheet for this but I still haven't. If I had a sheet, I'd draw the letters on to help with recognition and matching. I really like these magnets because they not only helped us work on letter recognition and sounds but we also used them to work on sorting by color.
