“H” Is for Helicopter

October 28, 2013 by OneMommy

If you are a regular here, you know the preschooler and I have been working through the alphabet, one vehicle at a time with tons of vehicle activities for A-Z.

This week we worked on preschool activities for the letter “H” — using helicopters, of course!

Learning Activities with Vehicles -- using toy helicopters to learn ABC's and numbers, fun preschool ideas for the letter H

 

 

Before we started, I  printed out 16 identical helicopter pictures and colored them to have 8 matching pairs.

For each pair I wrote a capital “H” on one helicopter and a lower case “h” on the other.

The preschooler started by matching up the pairs. h is for helicopter

Then I asked him to put all the capital “H’s” together and all the lower case “h’s” together.  He had fun flying them around before landing them in their new groups.

Finally, we counted all the paper helicopters.

 

Then we moved on to a collection of toy helicopters.

I made number cards for numbers 1-10 and had him land his toy helicopter on each “helipad” when I called the number.

This activity is great in learning to identify the numbers as well as listening skills.h is for helicopter

 

“Fly your largest helicopter over to number 8,” I’d say, and he would select the correct helicopter and then search for the right helipad to land on.

He had a great time listening to my clues, so we wound up doing this activity a few times.

For older kids check out the helicopter landing site word activity at Boy Mama Teacher Mama.

He also really enjoyed pretending to be a helicopter….h is for helicopter

 

(There is just no way to get a non-blurry picture of a helicopter in motion!)

Our last activity was our helicopter craft.  Be sure to check out the post to see how we made our very own helicopters! h is for helicopter

We have been having so much fun with all our vehicle alphabet activities!

    Love this for my little man. The game of making helicopters land on the number cards is just genius. I’ve pinned this for future use.
