Teeing Up and Hammering Away Beginning Sounds!

    The past few days, the little munchkin has been working hard at reviewing beginning sounds. I want to make sure she has a good grasp on beginning sounds before we move on to identifying middle and ending sounds. Kindergarten will be here before we know it!
   She had some fun with a little wooden hammer and golf tees we borrowed from daddy's golf bag. (When I first put out the hammer and golf tees for her awhile back, she really liked it.) So this hammering activity, "Tee It Up For Sounds" by Make Take Teach was lots of fun, with some learning included!

    Another beginning sound activity she did was with our ABC Cookies. We have used this on many different occassions to learn different skills: Letter Identification, ABC order, Spelling and now Letter Sounds. The great thing is that it includes learning cards inside.  (One lucky Facebook Fan will have a chamce to win today!)  So, if you are not a fan on my Facebook Page yet, you should be if you want a chance to win this!

    With these games and other spontaneous activities that we have done with beginning sounds, I am confident that my future kindergartener has a very good grasp on letters and their sounds! 

Now onto some more challenging, learning fun! 

My FIRST Facebook Fan Giveaway! =)

   Alright, I have had enough time to get back to the normalcy of life and what better way to start this week than with a GIVEAWAY!
     I know that I rarely have any giveaways here on my blog (and I plan to work on that), but for about a month now, I have been trying to get my readership and audience numbers up for my new Facebook Fan page... and I know everyone likes FREE stuff, right?
    Have you heard about the new Must Have Toy? Since I am an avid customer at Michaels and I receive daily emails, I heard about and had to try this newest sand product:

KINETIC SAND!

    My little munchkin and I love it! It has the consistency of sand and silly putty put together. It feels like soft sand, molds perfectly, falls like sand AND the best part-- Easy clean up!! (And it is a great de-stresser too!)

Check out the video below to see just how cool this new sand is!

   And what fun would this sand be without a few toys to go with it!

   One lucky winner will receive one 2 lb. box of Kinetic Sand 

and a set of Alphabet Cutters!

 So, go now to my Teaching Munchkins Facebook Fan page, become a fan by clicking "LIKE", leave a comment and I will pick a winner at the end of the week!

Good Luck!
