Five D activities

  1. Trace the big D

    Start at red dot 1 and follow the dots to the ring. A finger first, then a crayon.

  2. Build a D

    One straight stick, then a curve of yarn from top to bottom.

  3. Hunt for D

    Find D on signs, boxes and book covers. Count them together.

  4. Say it out loud

    D as in dog, duck and drum. Take turns finding one more.

  5. Color the drone

    The D practice page ends with a drone to color, then a D to light up.

The D practice page: a drone to color and rows of D to trace.
