For W I had a couple of ideas floating around my head and let Kira choose what we would do. Her choices were between having a WATER day and spending it playing in the sprinklers, having a WATER fight and in general getting WET. Or, she could create a WINTER WONDERLAND. Her eyes got really big when that idea was presented as she asked if we could listen to 'WALKING in a WINTER WONDERLAND.' I love that she loves the holidays as much as I do!
Needless to say we put on Christmas music and made our home into a WINTER WONDERLAND. We made snowflakes and 'Alabama snow' (bubbles.) We snuggled to keep WARM and enjoyed our WINTER. We also talked about WINTER WEATHER and the difference between the summer and WINTER seasons. We played 'WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE and WHY.' Taking turns picking something and asking the questions who, what, when, where and why until the answer was given. It was so fun to see what she was thinking about! We also played our favorite 'W' game, WIGGLE WORMS! To play wiggle worms: make cards with numbers and cards with worms on them, mix them up and then draw a card. If you get a number then tell which number it is and if you get a worm then jump up and wiggle your whole body like a worm. It's one of Kira's favorite games(more than candyland!) She also loves it with letters.
After playing WIGGLE WORMS we ended our day by eating WET WIGGLY WORMS! For me, it was one of the more enjoyable letter days, of course, I love anything where I can listen to WHITE Christmas and WALKING in a WINTER WONDERLAND!
