Strawberry loves the LeapFrog videos that teach the letters. She is quite adept at recognizing letters (especially uppercase letters) as we go about our daily life, and often recalls the LeapFrog word most frequently associated with it. Thus, the "C" is "Cold" and the "H" is Hot. I decided to send a few letter activities in her busy box this week. She'll loved the ABCs Busy Box! Here's what I had for her.
Letter Tiles pages. I noticed how much my daughter loved playing with the Scrabble letter tiles when we were playing a family game. I found some inexpensive letter tiles on Amazon that match the same style. So here is a perfect letter page for her to practice her alphabet. I also made pages with her name and her brother's name!
Leap Frog Letter Magnets and Magnet "Puzzle" Player. My daughter loves these magnets! When you put a letter in the player, LeapFrog sings the songs. And the magnet board lets her keep track of all of the letters.
ABC stamps. I got some ABC stamps from a garage sale. My little one loves to stamp letters on the page!
ABC Books. I put in a few favorites!
ABC Clothes Line. I've kept this activity away for the past few weeks, so I think this will be a fun reminder game for her this week.
Writing Doodle Board (not pictured). Strawberry loves to write and draw! This board gives her a fun writing space.

The angel uses an outline of the child’s hands and one foot to form the wings and body, and a personal photo of the child’s face makes it personal. My daughter has a

Read MoreAn A to Z box is great kit to create to practice learning letter names and sounds. As kids hold each item (for each letter or sound), they have a physical and sensory (in come cases!) experience to help solidify the letter sounds and names. Plus, what could be better than handling little toys to
