ABC Letter Tiles

My son and I enjoy playing Scrabble and other word-building games. But while we are playing, I needed to find a way to keep my 2-year-old happy, without her grabbing our tiles! To keep her busy, I created some word templates for her to enjoy building words too. ABC Letters Tiles are fun for all letter-recognition levels! My two older kids like matching letters on templates too. In addition to being fine motor practice for little fingers, creating words with letter tiles is a great early literacy activity for early reading and spelling.

Matching abc letter tiles to a template is a great fine motor practice activity and also a great early literacy activity for early reading and spelling.Continue Reading

Personalized Angel Kids Craft

For my preschooler, this angel kids craft was a nice alternative to snow play. The craft can also be converted into an angel Christmas ornament. 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 spitfire personality, so I loved the ultimate result of this craft thanks to the addition of her face to the angel.

Our ABC Monster keeps coming out of his “home” (in the cabinet) for more letter eating fun!I upcycled an empty tissue box into a simple monster that is always "hungry" for more letters!Continue Reading

Make An A to Z Box to Learn and Practice the ABCs

An 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 play with the alphabet? Our alphabet box is a fun way to practice recognizing and sorting letters in a hands-on way.

We try to have at least one small item for each letter of the alphabet so we can handle it as we review letter names and sounds.Continue Reading
