I wanted to share with you a book that I have loved and enjoyed with all three of my children.
It is fun for the kids and easy for me to put the projects together.
When each of my children have been around three years old we have worked our way through the book Art Across The Alphabet.
You can find the white letters at Lakeshore Learning or probably any teacher store.
If you have the time you can also make the letters out of cardboard.
Each chapter is a different letter and gives projects to do. We just do the letter and embellish it with things that make the sound of that particular letter.
We always decorate their room with the letters.
Benjamin is working on them now and it always so proud to tell daddy every time he makes a new letter.
It is also nice to have this project to do together…especially because number three is so often following the schedule and activities of the older two.
If you have a little one they will love this and you can find things around the house to make this an easy project for you to do together.

I hope you will join me each Wednesday in the month of February for this look into your heart and the dreams that it holds.
February is the month that we associate with love….why not love on those dreams a little more too!
I will definitely have to get my hands on this book. Thanks for the recomendation. I can’t wait. I am running out of things to do from A-Z with my girls 😉
So sweet…I remember doing projects like that with my girls when they were small:) Can’t wait to see what you’re “dreaming up” on Wednesdays!
Very similar to something we do around here. I like it!
This is fantastic, Jeanne!! Thanks for sharing. Max will LOVE this!
can’t wait to see what you are putting together with your dream series, I’m sure it will be amazing.
hanna just said, “H for ha, ha, handprints” as she saw cute ben. funny. love that book!
That’s a really cute book…Bailey will be 3 on Feb. 26th…I just started teaching her numbers, but letters are next! I’ll have to find one soon! Thanks!
Oh that pic of your little one is sooo adorable:)
Great book, I am gonna order this through Amazon right away! Anything to keep a lil one busy is great especially if it involves learning.
What a great idea! Wish I had some little kids!
As a teacher to grade one children I so appreciate a mom that takes time out to do this special project with ALL her children. So many times moms/dads just don’t have to time or understand how important it is. I can always tell the children who have had a jumpstart…A++ for you sweet one.
Ben looks excited about those handprints on his letter H. Love that face too!!
Those letters are so very cute. I love doing projects with the kids. They make the cutest things out of my scrappy scraps. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us on Wednesdays. Hugs, Amy

what a fantastic idea. he looks so proud. can’t wait for the dream series.
I love this idea for the alphabet. What a great book! It would be wonderful and so helpful if you would consider listing some of your other favorite educational books for children. Thanks so much, Kenda
Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been trying to think of a hands on idea to help #3 work on his letters. This is perfect.
I can’t wait to get my hands on that book!
I have to get this book, my little guy is having a little problem with his letters, this book will be such fun for the both of us,
thank you,
xo,

look at the angelic, excited face!!
Your kids are so lucky that you’re so crafty and creative—the average teacher (speaking from experience in my old life) does not have a lot of time to incorporate such creativity in lesson plans…especially now with all of the benchmarks and standardized testing.
Your kids are so blessed to have you as their teacher!
I wouldn’t mind making a letter too. Looks like fun 😉
