## 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.
