Time to add more letters to my letter of the week resources, for preschool classes. This week I am adding Crafts for Letter B. Here is the letter A resources.
I have gathered a list of different letter B activities from crafts, math, letter, recipes, and fine and gross motor skills.
The preschool room I worked in did 2 craft activities a day and one recipe a week. The kids loved to cook and eat what they made.
