Letter A Crafts for Preschoolers
A is for Ants on an Anthill I printed out a giant letter A and cut it out for my older preschooler. He had fun putting on the round black stickers and adding the ant details. Simple Apple Craft My One (almost two! ack!) has gotten to the age where he doesn't like to be left out of craft time. So I was excited to find this simple craft that he could do on my lap. Don't you just love this simple preschool alphabet ... Read More
Books for Letter V
I love searching for books to include in my alphabet book lists. I uncover old favorites and discover new ones I'd never seen. I'll admit that the letter V had me stumped.

I must admit, though, that I did break one of my alphabet book list rules. Normally my book lists are comprised of books my kids and I truly ... Read More

Compiling my book lists is one of my favorite things that I do at The Measured Mom. My kids are always excited when I order piles of books from the library so we can read them and find our favorites. Finding letter Y books was a challenge, but we found a small set of books I'm sure you'll enjoy! ... Read More
Books for Letter Z
It's time for another letter of the week book list! Our list is short because we picked only the best books to read for letter Z. Feel free to try a few others, like Dr. Seuss' On Beyond Zebra (which is actually not about zebras) and If I Ran the Zoo... but those are some of Seuss's loooong rhyming books that test the patience of preschoolers and parents alike -- at least at our house! I only share books I love... ... Read More
