Clothespin Capital & Lowercase Matching Activity

This was a super-easy activity for Big Brother that combined fine motor skills and alphabet recognition. I was pleasantly surprised how much Big Brother took to this activity…he really enjoyed it and needed very little assistance.

I just reused the alphabet strips that I had made for the Valentines Day Capital and Lowercase Matching…

…and then wrote the lowercase letters on one side of each of the clothespins.

Let your little one get to work by matching the clothespins to their corresponding capital counterpart.

 

Bask in a job well done!

    Great idea AND using the clothespins strengthens the same muscle that they need to strengthen in order to write.

    Love this!

    I love this. We are just starting to work on recognizing letters and I will definitely use this. I can’t wait to see the Veggie Tales movie. I watched as a child and enjoy sharing them with my daughter.
