Learn ABC I LOVE teaching my boys the letters of the alphabet. There are sooooo many ways to make it fun and hands-on for the little people in your life. Here are a range of alphabet activities and alphabet crafts for…
We are reading and exploring the book The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister for this month’s Virtual Book Club for Kids. The kids and I all enjoyed the beautiful colors (and glittery foil stamping) while reading this book. I also loved…
A few weeks ago, I asked each of the boys to tell me three things that they want to learn more about this summer. The first thing on Big Brother’s list was to learn about the human body. We decided…
This Alphabet Christmas Lights activity was lots of fun and extremely versatile. Plus, it was excellent practice for matching capital and lowercase letters! We used it as a bathtub activity (and my boys absolutely loved it)…but it could just…
Match capital and lowercase letters with these alphabet turkeys. Use any word (like “Thanksgiving” or “Give Thanks”). It is great reinforcement for matching capital and lowercase letters! Or you can even help your child practice recognizing the capital and…
This Alphabet Squish activity was actually a spin-off of our Puffy Planets. Little Brother was more fascinated with the puffiness than the actual planets. Much to his brother’s utter dismay, he squashed many planets to feel the unique texture…
Little Brother and I created this Striped Snake for our Letter “S” Craft. We conveniently used a sponge to create our stripes all while Little Brother was wearing his striped sweater (Repeat the last 2 sentences 3 times as quick as you can…go!). Actually,…
Slowly but surely Little Brother is learning to recognize the letters of the alphabet. For those of you who might be astounded and severely disappointed at the fact that my 3-year old still doesn’t know all the letters of the alphabet,…
This “H is for Heart” alphabet craft was a collaborative effort for the boys–Big Brother (5) cut out the hearts (which he worked for about 20 minutes to accomplish) and Little Brother (3) glued the hearts on the Letter H….
This idea for Invisible Letters was an accident…I was trying to make some sight word stamps (by writing sight words backwards on large lids with a hot glue gun), but that was a complete and total fail. They didn’t work…
This Capital & Lowercase Letter Stamping  idea was inspired by two things I found (that I had forgotten about) as I was purging organizing after Christmas. Little Brother and I did this activity a while ago, but I am just…
Alphabet Crafts are a great way to reinforce letter names and sounds while also incorporating multiple domains of development. I have attempted a few alphabet crafts with Little Brother, starting with letter “a” (which ended up being somewhat of a…
Have fun creating some alphabet art that is super easy and lots of fun! Little Brother and I set sail on our maiden voyage of crafting together…it started off wonderfully and ended up with a screaming fit (it was obviously…
Put an Olympic twist on learning letters with this fun alphabet craft! Here’s what you’ll need:  Our O is for Olympics Printable page, Froot Loops cereal, and glue.  1. Download and print the “O is for Olympics” page.  2. Let…
It has been a while since we’ve done an alphabet craft, but since we’re sticking with our camping theme, I thought it would be fun to do a tent craft with the letter “t”. I chose to do the lower-case…
This alphabet craft was lots of fun to make and involved TONS of fine motor practice as well! Our very first parent/teacher conference with Big Brother’s preschool teacher was on Monday and she indicated that he could use a bit…
Use the letter “m” to make a unique monster! All you need is a piece of cardboard, some fuzzy fabric (cut into squares), wiggly eyes, glue and a sharpie. 1. Take a piece of cardboard and using a Sharpie, write…
This super-easy alphabet craft offers great fine motor practice for older toddlers and preschoolers! We haven’t practiced “staying in the lines while coloring” a whole lot with Big Brother, mostly because I normally just give him a blank piece of…
