ABC Letter Tiles for Alphabet Recognition Practice
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 […]
ABC Matching Game Clothes Line

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.

Preschool Activities from A to Z

Toddler and Preschool Hands-On Alphabet Learning Activities
It’s so much fun to incorporate alphabet learning activities into our every day reading and activities. Every day items and even garbage materials can easily be re-purposed into engaging hands on activities for my toddler and preschooler!
