Footprint Butterfly:
- Paint the bottom of the child's foot.  Press the feet down on paper with the left foot on the right side and the right foot on the left side.  Leave a little space in between for the butterfly's body.

Thank you to Crystal for this cute idea!

Color:
- Use black, brown, and blue colors, paints, or markers
- Cut along the "black" line 
- Glue on a paper bag

 

Butterfly:
- Print 2 copies of the Bb Poster.  Color and cut around the uppercase letters (one uppercase B will need to be colored on the wrong side).  Tape two uppercase B's together (one backwards and forwards) to make butterfly wings.  Glue pompoms down the center to create a butterfly.  Add a pipe cleaner for the butterfly's antenna. Thank you Shannon for this idea!

- Draw butterflies or place butterfly stickers or stamps on the Bb Poster.

Draw a "B" Word:
- Have your child draw an object that starts with the letter "b".
- Either write the name of the object and have them copy it or spell the word
- Be very careful when criticizing a child's artwork.  Even though it isn't how you would draw the object, encouragement helps build confidence.

 

 

Boing:
- Cut strips of paper 1" wide.  Fold the paper accordian style. 
- Little man had great fun "boing" this up and down while saying "boing."

 

 

 

Button Sorting:
- Give the child a pile of buttons.  Have the child place only "B-Colored" buttons (brown, blue, and black buttons) on the Bb Poster.
