Hello, friends!
Do you know what the very greatest, giggliest, goat-iest letter is? IT’S THE LETTER G! Today, Fluffernutter and I had a whole day just for the letter G, and it was bursting with giggles, glitter, games, and GRACE. We even had a special guest at home—my big sister Ariel! She didn’t feel her best, so she stayed home in her green jacket, but that meant I got to share my G-Day fun with her too. Yippee!
🎲 CandyLand and Caring Hearts
(P.S. Maybe next time, Ariel will feel better and we can add a new G-word for giggling together!)
Right after breakfast (I had toast with grape jelly shaped like a G!), Ariel and I played CandyLand together. She picked the ice cream girl, and I picked the blue guy who looks like a gumdrop! Ariel wasn’t feeling super smiley, but we played anyway and Fluffernutter was the official CandyLand coach. He said the best move is always the one with kindness, so I let Ariel go first every time. That made her smile a tiny bit. And guess what? SHE WON!
Mr. Fluffernutter said that’s called graciousness—when you do something kind just because it’s lovely. That’s another G word!
📖 Giraffes, God, and Groovin’ Around
Later, we read Giraffes Can’t Dance! Gerald the giraffe is wobbly and shy until he hears his music in the moonlight. I said, “Gerald just needed God’s beat in his heart!” Then I twirled and danced all around the room in my giraffe pose. My knees did wiggly jumps and my elbows flopped like jellyfish.
I asked Fluffernutter if he could dance. He said, “Only when no one’s looking.” Then he winked. Bunnies are mysterious like that.
Then we watched a video all about the letter G (I think it was from a lady named Miss G!). There was a girl in a blue dress with glasses, and she made a big G with her arms! I tried to do it too but mine looked like a backward 6. Still, Fluffernutter gave me a round of applause. His claps sound like tiny whispers.
✏️ God’s Glorious G Practice
Next came my FAVORITE part—the coloring and tracing!
We printed a beautiful coloring page all about the letter G. It had a goat, a giraffe, a gift box, a garden, and even a globe! I colored the grapes sparkly purple and gave the goat rainbow fur. Fluffernutter said it looked like a party goat from a parade in heaven. Then I practiced tracing the big G and little g using the sheet you gave us (you can get your own from our blog if you want to try!). I followed the arrows and made the best G’s of my life.
Mommy said my pencil grip was “getting really good,” and Ariel said I should get a gold star. So Fluffernutter made me one out of a sticker and glitter glue. It says: G-Learner Extraordinaire!
🍜 Giggly Noodles for Grumbly Tummies
For lunch, Mommy said it was a “simple” day, so we had Cup Noodles. OH. MY. GOODNESS. I slurped noodles faster than a garden snail on a water slide. I even made a G with my noodle before I ate it. Then I showed Mommy my best “Grumpy Goat Face” while I gobbled. Ariel laughed and laughed, even though her throat was sore.
Fluffernutter said noodle soup counts as a G meal if you’re grateful for it. So we said a lunchtime prayer:
“Dear God, thank you for giggles, grapes, and giving us each other.”
🎨 Glitter Lab and Garden Paints
Later in the day, we went to the garage and turned it into our “Giggle Lab.” That means ART TIME! We painted wooden hearts and buttons and flower shapes with glitter paints and dot brushes. I mixed green and pink and made something I call “Gumdrops in the Garden.”
Fluffernutter made a design that looked like a sideways G with stars. I think he was trying to tell me a secret.
Ariel joined us even though she was tired. She painted a little pot with soft purple and teal. It looked like a galaxy growing flowers! I told her it was glorious.
📺 Number Fun and Letter Laughs
To wrap up our learning, we watched some Numberblocks and counted up to TEN! I said the numbers before they showed up, and Fluffernutter whispered “G-g-great job!” every time.
We also watched more G videos. I danced every time I heard the letter G song. Ariel clapped. I think her heart was smiling even if her throat wasn’t.
✨ What Did I Learn Today?
- G is for God, who made giraffes and galaxies.
- G is for Grace, when Ariel let me sit on her lap during storytime.
- G is for Gratitude, because today was full of tiny happy things.
- G is for Goats. Because goats are hilarious.
💌 Closing Prayer from Alice & Fluffernutter:
“Dear God, thank you for a day of G. Thank you for goats that nibble, gardens that grow, and girls like me who giggle and learn. Help Ariel feel better soon. Amen.”
Thank you for joining our G-Adventure! What are YOUR favorite G words? Maybe you played a game or made a garden today too! Tell us in the comments or share a picture with us—Fluffernutter loves getting mail from new friends!
Loves,
Alice
