Letter Of The Week - "U" For Unicorn

I finally decided against doing "D" this week. Instead, I picked the letter "U" which is a little more familiar to Sophie. However, I had a lot of difficulty finding animals that begin with "U" so I settled for "Unicorn". Not the best animal to create but I managed to figure out how to put an unicorn into "U" without compromising the shape of "U".

Based on Sophie's behaviour over the weekends, I prepared myself mentally for a tough time with her today. And I was not too far off... how sad! She was not at all interested in the craft although she still enjoyed "painting". She also did not pay any attention to me or my instructions... and that really sent my blood pressure sky high.

In the end, I had to do most of the work. My only consolation was Sophie exclaiming "horse!" when she saw the "uncorn". The drying took a while because of my generous amount of glitter glue.

Once everything was semi-dried, I pasted on the plastic eye and glued the letter to a construction paper. And I did all that while Sophie was still in her highchair "painting". I deliberately left her with her art materials to see what she was up to. What a scary sight!

End Product - "U" For Unicorn

By the way, I found "The Unicorn Song" in YouTube. It is catchy and fun although I wish the religious element was not part of the song.
