Letter of the week field trip- H is for Hammer

The little Hooligans and I have been working on different letters of the week each week. Caleb is usually just along for the ride and probably gets more developmental skills out of it than he does understanding about the actual letter we are learning about. this week we have been learning about the letter H so for our field trip activity to reinforce the letter H I choose to take Madison to the Lowes kids clinic where they get to Hammer a toy together and make their own toy. Today they were making a three sectioned garbage truck toy made out of wood.

 Got all her supplies spread out to make her truck.
 Hammering her garbage truck together.
 Brother is exploring the hammer while mommy is reading the directions
 All done with her truck! she was even willing to share her truck with brother to look at.
 After she finished her truck she turned in her hammer and got a patch to iron on her apron.
 There was alot of help from mommy but she absolutely understood the concept that she had to hit the nail on the head with the hammer in order to make it go down. Her biggest struggle was being able to hit the actual nail hard enough to make it go down. it was a great morning to spend with my little hooligans.
