J is for Jelly Fish!

(Wednesday)- Make a jellyfish

J is for Jelly Beans!

(Friday)- Jelly bean lacing

(Monday)- Jelly Bean coloring

(Wednesday) - Jelly bean graphing (Love this activity! It did take some self control not to each the jelly beans but my little guy had so much fun with it and wanted to do it over and over!)

(Monday)- capital and lower case sorting

(Monday)- jelly bean cutting!

(Monday)- J for jelly beans! My 18 month old was having a hard time not eating the jelly beans... she would glue them on then pop them right in her mouth... glue and all! Maybe an activity I would recommend for 2 and up!

(Wednesday)- Pom pom jelly beans

(Wednesday)- Jelly bean Number matching (LOVED this activity! I did have to assist at first until he got the hang of it.)

(Wednesday) Jelly bean hopscotch- Not sure I would have done this activity if I really thought it through. I took 10 pages of to color copy and then laminate. That's like $2 for this activity. I probably would have skipped it if I thought it through.
