For the last couple of days the girls have been all about having egg hunts. They discovered their Easter baskets in our closet the other day, along with some alabaster eggs that we decorate with at Spingtime, and from that moment on it was all about egg hunts. As I watched them this morning I had a brilliant idea: what about a letter hunt?! I quickly gathered the letter blocks, sorted out the ones that Grace knows (A-L) from the ones she doesn't, and then gathered the girls. I told them that we were going to have a letter hunt. To say they were over the moon about this game would be an understatement! We laid out the letter blocks, reviewed the letter names and sounds and then I sent the girls upstairs so I could hide all the blocks on the first floor. These girls are hunting machines! After all the letters had been found they would dump them out on the table and we would again go through the letter names and sounds. Then we would count up each pile of blocks and see who had the most. It's amazing how something so simple can provide hours of fun! I think it's safe to say that alphabet hide and seek was a huge hit and that there are many more letter hunts in our future!
