N is a nose sound. Have your child hold their nose and try to say no. The sound gets stuck, which shows the air goes out through the nose. Nests are brown with blue or speckled eggs, nuts are brown or tan, and a night sky can be dark blue with yellow stars. N is also the first letter of north on a map.
Coloring a night sky on white paper works well with crayon resist. Color the stars and moon firmly in white or yellow crayon, then brush watered-down dark blue paint over the page. The wax keeps the stars bright.

Questions parents and teachers ask
Why does N sound like it comes from the nose?
When you say N, your tongue blocks the air in your mouth, so it goes out through your nose instead. Holding your nose while saying no shows this clearly.
What N words can kids color?
Nest, nut, net, nose, night and nurse are easy words to picture. Nest and night work well with spring and bedtime themes.
