B-Butterfly

Butterfly:
- Print 2 copies of the Bb Poster. Color and cut around the uppercase letters (one uppercase B will need to be colored on the wrong side). Tape two uppercase B's together (one backwards and forwards) to make butterfly wings. Glue pompoms down the center to create a butterfly. Add a pipe cleaner for the butterfly's antenna. Thank you Shannon for this idea!

Bb Activities:

Draw a "B" Word:
- Have your child draw an object that starts with the letter "b".
- Either write the name of the object and have them copy it or spell the word
- Be very careful when criticizing a child's artwork. Even though it isn't how you would draw the object, encouragement helps build confidence.

Boing:
- Cut strips of paper 1" wide. Fold the paper accordian style.
- Little man had great fun "boing" this up and down while saying "boing."

Button Sorting:
