I is for Indian

I was in charge of the letter I for alphabet days.  I spent a lot of time trying to figure out things to do that start with I and then my dad came up with the idea while we were down in Pasco.  He said we could do Indians.  I know it is suppose to be Native Americans or American Indians, but we just focused on Indian because that starts with I.

We danced to One Little, Two Little, Three Little Indians and we read a book about Indians so the kids would know what an Indian is.

Rachel got to do a little coloring too since Enoch wasn't there and I had an extra copy.  She sometimes does okay with coloring, but mostly she still prefers eating the crayons.

We made Indian headdresses.  The kids got to glue on feathers and string beads to make them.

I made Whitney's a little big at first, so I had to restaple it.  She kept telling me that it needed to be fixed.

We did a funny painting activity.  You color white paper with white crayon and then you lightly paint over it with a rock color.  The wax in the crayon is suppose to prevent the paint from hitting that part.  It sort of worked, but you had to color really really hard and the kids weren't good at doing that.  But it was suppose to be an Indian rock painting thing.  Oh well.  The kids enjoyed painting.

Then we made Indian corn for snack.  You take a graham cracker and break it in half the long way.  Then you cover it with nutella or chocolate frosting and put reeses pieces all over it.  It gets wrapped with a cupcake liner for the husk.  Whitney made a corn and didn't want to eat it.  So she just ate graham crackers.

We also had orange juice ice pops.  They didn't really have anything to do with Indians.  But it did start with I and the kids loved them. 
So I think the letter I was a success.
