O is for O’s, Octopus, Oatmeal and Ocean: Preschool Activities for the Letter O

02/03/2019 By Ashley Leave a Comment

Share

Here are the activities we did for the letter O:

The first activity we did for the letter O was to make O’s.

Supplies:

  • Empty Toiler Paper Rolls
  • Paper
  • Kid Friendly Paint

How to do this activity:

Have your child choose their paint colors, I let my children just choose two each because usually if they choose more their paper just turns into a big mess. Then have your child dip one end of the toilet paper roll into the paint and place that end on the paper to make a letter O. This was another reason why it was a good idea to just go with two colors. They were able to paint with one color using each of the ends of the toilet paper roll.

The next letter O activity we did was make a little octopus.

Supplies:

  • Construction paper
  • Scissors
  • Crayons
  • Tape
  • Googly Eyes
  • Glue

How to do this activity:

  1. Have your child choose the color of construction paper they want to make their octopus out of.
  2. Cut up from one of the long sides of the paper 7 times to make the 8 tentacles.
  3. Number the tentacles.
  4. Draw a mouth on the octopus and glue on googly eyes.
  5. Tape the ends of the paper together to make a cylinder shape.
  6. Roll each of the tentacles so that they curve out.

This activity ended up coming out really cute and looked a lot like an octopus. It was also a good activity to teach other things like numbers and using scissors.

The next letter O activity we did was make oatmeal cookies.

Unfortunately I cannot find the exact recipe that we made, it was a good one, but there are so many recipes on Pinterest! We were originally going to make oatmeal raisin cookies, that way I would be less tempted to eat them, but we didn’t have any raisins on hand so we went with a yummier option, oatmeal chocolate chip. There are many different ways to make these delicious cookies and personalize them to the likes of your family.

The last letter O activity we did was make an ocean animal chart.

Supplies:

  • Crayons
  • Poster Board (we ended up getting adhesive poster paper which was a fun way to make it feel more like a teaching experience)

How to do this activity:

On the poster board make two parts of the chart. One side will be titled “ocean” and the other titled “not ocean”. Then have your child think of animals that live in the ocean and draw those in the “ocean” category. Then have them think of animals that do not live in the ocean and have them draw those in the “not ocean” category. This was a fun activity to do to introduce charts to my son.

There were a lot of crafts this week but my son did a lot better with being able to focus on them instead of losing interest quickly. It was fun to see his interest in crafts grow a little more.

What are some other letter O activities we should try? Which of the activities from above would your children like the most?
