The ABC's of Snacking: Letter A
Animals
For any of the "... (animal) Dig", you can use my chocolate pudding or dairy-free chocolate pudding recipes.
Animal (Bear, Dinosaur, Insect, Reptile, Worm, etc.) Dig
Place one or more gummy bear(s), dinosaur(s), insect(s), reptile(s), worm(s), or whatever you find in the stores in a cup. Add rocks or dirt (chocolate cereal or pudding) to it. Eat with a spoon.
Make gelatin jigglers. Use a cookie cutters of an animal shape. (If you like don't like using food coloring/dyes, make you own gelatin using unflavored gelatin and add blended up fruit.)
Ant
Ants in Sand
Place a graham cracker in a bag that zips or that you can twist tie. Roll a rolling pin over it or have the children crush the cracker into small pieces. (For younger children, the second option children like more.) Place some raisins or chocolate chips in the bag. Eat with a spoon or with your hands.
Ants on a Log (Graham Crackers)
Spread frosting, peanut butter, jam/jelly/preserves, etc. on a quarter of a graham cracker. Place raisins, chocolate chips, or pieces of fruit on top.
Ants on a Log
Spread some peanut butter or other nut butter onto celery. Place raisins or chocolate chips on the nut butter.
Apple
Cut and core some apples and eat them.
Make Apple Crisp, Apple Spice Cake, or Cocoa Apple Cake.
Eat apple sauce.
Apple Boats
Cut an apple into fourths. Cut out the cores. Place a wooden toothpick in one side of the apple and then a large marshmallow on it.
Apple Smiles
Peel and core an apple.
Cut it into slices.
Place some caramel or peanut butter on it.
Have the children decorate it using raisins, chocolate chips, gum drops, etc. to make a happy apple.
Apple Volcanoes

Teaspoon
Cut off the top of the apple. Using spoon, scoop out core of apple. Fill the apple with butter/other type of nut butter, or caramel and top with raisins, chocolate chips or other type of chip.
If you want to eat this later, brush the apple edges with lemon juice to prevent browning and wrap in foil.

Letter A
I first put this on my website in 2001 (before I had this blog). I have added more resources since then.
Note: I will need to put the links found on my other site (azpratt) on this blog.

"A" Book
Letter Book
If you want, you can make a letter book (especially for preschoolers). You can have your child or student make their own book. Have them draw pictures or glue in pictures that begin with the letter.
Note: When I have time I will put my own one sheet book template onto this blog.
You can use any of these ideas or use your imagination for the words you would like to use for your "A Book".
Page 1: Use an "Apple dot-to-dot".
Apple Dot-to-Dot: Google
On the top left hand side, glue half of a tooth pick and then two tooth picks to make "A". Make an "a" using glue. Sprinkle rice (arroz in Spanish) on it.
Animals: Cut out pictures of animals from pet store ads and/or magazines and glue them on the page.
Ants: Follow the same instructions as "Ant Art".
Apple: Apple seed, picture of apple/apples from grocery store ads and/or magazines, and make apple prints using paint.
Label the objects.

Alligator (first-school)
Alligator Paper Bag Puppet Craft
Use a small paper bag. Cut a green piece of construction paper to be about 9 x 5" (or the size of the bag). Glue it on the bottom part of the paper bag. Cut a piece to be 6 x 5" Round off the bottom (use this as a pattern). Cut another piece but make it 4 1/2 x 5". Glue the top part of the alligator's snout to the top of the paper bag. Make two eyes about 1 1/4". Color black pupils on them. Color two nostrils on the alligators snout on the bottom. Glue onto the bottom part of the flap but only where the flap ends. Cut two pieces of white paper together and fold over. Cut teeth using the pattern (making triangles). Cut them out to make a set of teeth. Glue on the top and the bottom of the alligator's snout. Make a large red tongue to be about 4 1/4" long. Glue on the bottom of the flap. Make two eyes and make pupils on them. Glue on the top of the head. Make green or brown marks on the alligator.

Note: When I have time I will put my own one sheet book template onto this blog.
Version One:
Place each of the pages on construction paper. Fold it in half before having the child do his/her activities. Glue each page to each other. Take a piece of construction paper and glue that to the front and back pages. Write on the front the child's name, below that, use yarn for the upper and lower case of that letter, and then, write "Letter Aa Book", "My Letter Aa Book", or anything you think up.

Cheaper Version:
Another way to do letter books is to cut the amount of construction paper you need for the book in half (this saves on paper and glue). Reduce the activity sheets to fit on one side (this saves computer ink). Staple the pages together when you have finished that letter of the week. Write on the front the child's name, below that, use yarn for the upper and lower case of that letter, and then, write "Letter Aa Book", "My Letter Aa Book", or anything you think up.
