What better way to get ready for Earth Day than by celebrating with a picture of the Earth itself? And, when there is a picture, it may just be time to connect-the-dots! This one comes to us from BigActivities.com and is just a very basic connect-the-dots activity, using the capital letters, "A," through "P." Grab a copy for yourself and then check down below for some tips that you might find very useful.
MODIFICATIONS: Since you're little one is going to be working with the letters of the alphabet here, it might be a good idea to do what is called, "activating prior knowledge." All that this means is that you're going to give your kiddo a frame of reference from which to call upon for this activity, helping her remember all of the things that she knows about, in this case, the alphabet, so that she can be as successful as possible at this new alphabet activity. Go ahead and try singing the "ABCs," with your child in order to do this. Encourage your little one to sing the song again as she tries to connect the dots in the picture. If connecting those dots and keeping the letters in her head is too much to do at the same time, you can go ahead and write down the letters of the alphabet, you only need to do up to "P," in this case for your kiddo. This way, she will have something to reference as she continues with the activity.
