Do Try this at Home...All About D
D is for Dinosuars
Duplo
The little one finds tricky words, well tricky so to aid this I made the tricky words using duplo. The idea is he will be able to remember or visualise the shape so a word like is is made of two equal blocks where as the is made of two tall blocks and a small one. I then wrote the letters on each block and we looked at the shapes together and talked about the tricky words.
![]() Dominoes
Using lollipop sticks and a permanent marker I made a letter recognition game. We played the game together matching the letter sounds. This game was great for turn taking too. I left the dominoes out and found him matching the letters independently
![]() Dough
It wouldn't be d week without dough!! We love dough in our house. So open ended and super for fine motor skills as well as using one handed tools.
