The Letter D

D is for Dot

 D is for Duck.  Short Daughter did a great job of ensuring all the duck stickers were in the shiny blue duck pond.

 D is for Daisy.  We went for a walk to see what we could find that began with the letter D.  I don't think these 'weeds', growing in the vacant lot across the road, are actually daisys.  But they were near enough.

 D is for Darkness.  We cut out stars and Short Daughter glued them on some purple paper we had also cut star shapes from, then we covered the gluey bits with silver glitter.

 D is for Daisy again.  I must admit, I did most of the work on this one.  Short Daughter was very involved in commentary and supervision though.  I think she rather enjoyed the role reversal.

 D is for Dinosaur.  I would love to be able to give credit for this clever idea, but I just stumbled across a photo on the internet one day of a group of school kids wearing these.  Each one was a slightly different type of dinosaur, but all based on that well-known principle that 'dinosaurs are thin at the ends and fat in the middle'.

 D is for Daytime.  A bit abstract perhaps, but Short Daughter got it straight away that the cut-out of her hand was to be the sun.  And she did the gold glitter sunbeams herself.

 D is for Diamond. I cut out lots of diamond shapes and we covered a sheet of black craft paper with glue.  Short Daughter was told that the shapes needed to go next to each other, but not touching.  That the final result is vaguely diamond-shaped is rather more good luck than good planning.

D is for Daddy.  This was, not surprisingly, one of Short Daugher's favourite D activities.  I printed out some photos of her with Daddy on plain paper, she pasted them on a sheet of craft paper and suggested (in not so many words) that smiley face sticker would be an appropriate embellishment.

D is for Dalmation.  Short Daughter was in one of those three-year-old moods when presented with a cut-out of a dog for her to colour in.  She cheekily put one black dot on the dog and announced "Finished".  I went and got her Little Golden Book of 101 Dalmations and she was inspired to (enthusiastically) add more dots.
