Z is for Zebra

We’re chugging right along with our letters of the week!  Here’s a look at our Z fun. 

Z Work

I introduced the Z Sound with my Z sound tub.  It contains a zebra, zipper, a zoo sign, & zero.

Z pom-pom work-good for fine motor

Z Do-a-Dot

Zipper D0-a-Dot from Carisa’s Z Tot Pack

Starfall. com’s Z show: He’s really getting good at the mouse!

Z Tangram

Zebras & Other Animals

Black and White animals: He really enjoyed this one…anything with a glue stick and he’s good to go!  I adapted the Black and White Animals Accordion (in the “Add-ons for Little Ones” section at the bottom).

Zebra Coloring

Of course, MBug had to do it, too!

1-10 Zebra Counting and Matching Links

Zebra ABC Dot-to-Dot

Roll a Zebra: I drew dice with dots on the left side so he could do this one more independently

Z is for Zebra Puzzle

We pulled out a bunch of our plastic animals and both boys enjoyed playing with those all week.  Most of these were bought for $1 in Target’s bins.

Z Reading

These are the books I placed on MBug’s shelf for the week:

Goodnight Gorilla, Baby Noah World Animals, What Do you Say?, an animal book I got in Target’s $1 bin, & Put Me in the Zoo

Z Crafts

Color & glue black yarn on the “blank” zebra

NJoy’s finished zebra

After reading Put Me in the Zoo, he did this Do-a-Dot page

Extra Shots from the Week

NJoy LOVES this bug game!  He begs to play it often.  So after a hard day’s work, I let him get it out.  It has a lot of pieces, so I have to remind him to keep all of them ON his desk!

Working the Animal Train ABC floor puzzle, including Z for Zebra

ALuv reading books to NJoy in our little book nook.  I love it when NJoy sits still long enough to listen to ALuv read.  Warms my heart.

NJoy said he needed a muscle shot, so here you go! 🙂

At the end of the week, we hung a zebra NJoy’s Picture Word Wall (cut out and colored from Erica’s Z Coloring Page)
