Letter G Snacks
Updated: 3 days ago
It's Letter G day, so snack time is all about the /g/ sound, like grapes. Your little one hears the sound again and again, builds a big G on the plate and then eats it. Grapes, green beans and goldfish crackers, here we go!
What you need
Pick 2 or 3 G foods:
Grapes, quartered lengthwise
Green beans, steamed soft
Goldfish crackers
Greek yogurt for dipping
Guacamole with soft pita or crackers
Graham crackers
How to make it
Say the sound. Hold up a grape: "Grape starts with /g/. Guh, guh, grape!"
Build a G. Curve green beans into a big C shape on the plate. Then add one short bean going in at the bottom, like a little shelf.
Fill it in. Line goldfish crackers or grape pieces along the G.
Go on a G hunt. "What else starts with /g/? Goat? Gorilla? Guitar?"
Gobble it up! That's a G word too.
Why we love it
Hearing a sound while touching and tasting it helps it stick. Building a G with food is also a no-pressure first step toward writing it, with no pencil needed.
Make it your own
Garden plate: Use only green G foods: green beans, green grapes and guacamole.
Spider G: Add eight pretzel-piece legs to a grape "spider" sitting on top of the G.
A quick safety note: For kids under 4, always quarter grapes lengthwise and steam green beans until soft. Check labels for wheat, milk and fish allergies. Always have your child sit while eating.
