To go along with our Letter C stuff, we made pom-pom caterpillars today. I used a large popsicle stick as the base, then just glued pom-poms to it, added eyes, antennae and don’t forget the flare! And voila:

Those look really cute! Are those giant pompoms for the head? Are you going in a certain order with your preK letters?
Hi, Yes, the bigger ones are for the head.For my letters I did vowels first, then consonants. I'm not really going in any specific order with consonants, just what I can think of ideas for LOL! I was trying to follow Abeka's order, but we skipped T because I had a bunch of caterpillar ideas for C LOL!
These are great ideas. I wish I had found your blog before we did the letter C.I want to ask- what type of laminator do you use? I am thinking about getting one but I don't know much about them (other than the monster sized one I used when I taught first grade).
I just found your blog today and I love it!!! You have such great ideas and I can't wait to use some of them:) Very impressed!!
To answer your question, I use a Xyron 9" laminator. (Got off ebay cheap). The refill cartridges are $34 for 50' at Joanns or Michaels so I always use a 40% coupon. Its sticky laminate, not heat, so it works well to cut things out. If I have TONS of things, or large items I go to the local teaching store and laminate there!
Hello, just stopping by to say that I LOVE your blog and will be stopping by often. I have a daughter that I'm home preschooling right now and a son in public school (1st grade). I also home preschooled him. I am truly inspired by all that you are doing with your four children!!
What a great resource!
