H is for...

 We haven't done as much work on the letter H as we have other letters as we have just been so busy out & about enjoying this lovely weather. I quickly made these sheets for the boys to put their Haribo sweets on in the shape of a h. I also pointed out the H on the sweet packet. They really enjoyed this especially that they got to eat them once done! I will use this idea again for other letters.

I collected & cut out several house pictures (house insurance leaflets from supermarkets were a good place to look). The boys then used a glue stick to make a collage, i then wrote on one so we could add it to our letter wall, as we didn't do any printed sheets this week. It was really nice that we could work outside for these activity's.

During the week Joseph (4.5) pointed out that H is also for helicopter, I was really impressed with this as out of all the H words I hadn't mentioned this one, he had picked it up from the helicopter pads on our car mats & garage.

I also made this House lunch for the boys as part of the Hoops & Crosses competition.

Hoops & Crosses House Lunch

When I heard about the Tots100 #HoopsandCrosses competition I was really excited as its been a while since I made a fun lunch for the boys (find our letter C lunch here). We all like Walkers new Hoops & Crosses crisps, the boys like the fun shapes (letter X & O) & I like that they have wholegrain & are only 4 syns a pack (beef are 4.5) on Slimming World. 

As we are now working on the letter H I decided to make a house with a checker board to play noughts hoops & crosses on. The white squares are cheese spread with pickle, the wholemeal are marmite & the triangles for the roof have marmalade filling. I then used cucumber for the grass With raisins & lettuce for a tree.

I made it as a plate to share for the boys, which worked well as each took what they wanted. They even made a small house once some of the sandwiches had been eaten.
