Animal ABCs: Letter A

It is one of my *goals* this school year
to post about all of the
Animal ABC activities
I do with my littles,
though knowing my crazy schedule,
I will not get them all posted until NEXT October!

(Can I get an amen?)  ;0)

Without further adieu,
here is all the fun my preschoolers had
learning about
"A" is for Alligator and Ant...

Letter A Themed Books

I FORGOT to take pics

Alvin the Alligator

also hung out with our Letter A books,

and the kiddos really enjoyed when he

read to them...

a childhood favorite of mine! :0)

Extra Alligator Fun

Meet Snappy.

He is a stuffed baby alligator

that was my Uncle's years ago.

I was TERRIFIED of Snappy as a child.

My family thought that was funny.

(Hmmmm-

and I *wonder* where I get my weird

sense of humor from...)

My mother gave Snappy to me

a few years ago.

He is falling apart,

but it was pretty cool for the littles

to see an ACTUAL alligator-

and I made CERTAIN they were not scared of him

like I used to be!
