J is for jewels and jewelry, obviously. Well, there is always jam, and jump, and jar but those are a bit boring when compared to long beaded necklaces and sparkly jewels. For this preschool letter J activity I was able to find the jewels at the dollar store and a few Madri Gras style plastic beaded necklaces around the house. I always enjoy when I can pull together a letter activity from things we have around the house. Jeweled Js are easy, beautiful, and fun.
