V is for.....

Our V is for Vegetables in our vegetable soup....
vase full of flowers, vegetable garden exploring (each of the flaps opens separately to tell what we hear, see, etc in our garden)....

My veggies garden book... veggie plant growing...... (see pics below)


We subscribe to seed companies for our gardening (though we never actually buy from them) we do use them for school projects! We went through and cut out different veggies and made a book of all our favorites.



our veggie scripture..... (over Savannah's head.... I think these activities need to wait till she can read....)




garden vocabulary book..... (an exercise in coloring and trying to stay in the lines. Mom created.)


How a vegetable grows (book that ties)....



A look at vision......(very hard activity for Savannah at this age (4) but I really wanted to introduce it so that it helps with the doctors stuff, and help her understand what goes on....)

Labelling the parts of an eye, and basic explanations of glaucoma causes.....



And our exploding volcano..... we made it out of a plastic beaker from chick-fil-a and playdoh. It cracked after a few days while we waited to get more baking soda. The pictures are from our second volcano eruption......
There is some extra space in this book, meant to be used for posting pictures, as we couldn't add the volcano actually to the book..... and I forgot to take a picture of the back of the book with the list of books we used.....

Several of the printables are from Homeschool Share, are adaptations of common alphabet activities, or based on information out of library books. We found that a seed catalogue came in very handy for finding pictures of vegetables that we could cut out.

I love you activities with each of these letters. All you education background is serving you well - even if in a very different context than you originally imagined it for!
