Fortunately, grandpa and grandma visited this week (G people!).  I took full advantage and had them do the more hands on activities, while I was with the baby. These would not have otherwise gotten done.  Thanks, mom and dad! 🙂

Day 1

1. Find g stickers and put on G
2. Color and assemble letter G book
3. Go through our books and get G books
4. Put out G words (garbage can, guitar, glass…I highly recommend using masking or painting tape so nothing is ruined when you pull it off)
5. Video: Olive and the Rhyme Rescue Crew

Day 2

1. Fill in G outline and g outline with: grass and I was going to use glitter, but she said she wanted to write g’s, before I could suggest it.  I figured that was easier on me. 🙂 (other options: glitter, green, grey, gold, gold glitter)
2. Play grocery store with sticker and prices and her piggy bank money
   This is how she set it up.  I forgot to ask why the money was in front of it. 🙂
3. Activity sheet 1
4. Activity sheet 2
5. Video: Get Squiggling-Letter G

 Day 3

1. Golf (with a broken Strawberry Shortcake kid’s golf club and a random ball…my grandpa would be appalled! 🙂 )
2. Play gas station (I suggested she get something to take outside for putting gas in the “cars.”  She came out with a stuffed dog and said it was a “gas spitting dog.” Lol!)
   
3. Activity sheet 3
4. Activity Sheet 4
