Berenstains’ B Book

It’s been a while since I posted about fun we’ve had with a book we’ve read…  Trust me, it’s not that we haven’t been reading, or that we haven’t been having some fun with our books!

Things have finally settled down around here, and this week I want to share one of my preschooler duo’s  favorites: The Berenstain’s B Book.

I admit it, it was one of my favorites as a kid, too.  I love when my daughter “reads” it to me.  (She has it memorized….)

This week we played with the Berenstains’ B Book.

During bath time I brainstormed words that started with the letter “B” with each of my preschoolers.  It seemed the more words I wrote on the wall, the more excited they got.  It was fun seeing what they each came up with.

Then we tried our hand at forming the letter “B.”

Not only did we practice writing it, but we also used sparkly pom-poms, yarn, pipe cleaners, and even a bag of colored game dice to form a variety of “B’s.”

Of course, we had to try walking backwards (in the book they bike backwards, but that wasn’t happening in the house) and blowing bubbles.

Finally, I set them on a letter “B” scavenger hunt, searching for objects that started with the letter “B.”  I had to give the 3 year-old a few ideas at first, but the 5 year-old?  She came back with quite a collection all on her own!

The reward, of course, had to start with a “B” — we had bears (Teddy Grahams).

My son is already asking if we can do the A Book next time….
