Letter Hunt

Letter Hunt

Ages: Toddlers, preschoolers

Materials: Construction paper, pencil, scissors, tape  

Learning the letters of the alphabet can be a challenge for little ones, but this fun activity is a great way to encourage kids to have fun with their ABCs.


Instructions:

1. Using one sheet of construction paper per letter, draw 10 letters.  

2. Cut out the letters.

3. Go around your house and tape each cut-out to something that begins with the letter. For example, put an "R" on your refrigerator, a "D" on your door, or a "T" on your table. Make sure to position the letters at eye-level for your children. 

4. Explain to your child what you've done. Ask if she would like to go on a letter hunt with you, and then walk with her around the house as she looks for the letters.

5. As she finds each cut-out, talk about other words that also begin with that letter.

6. After a few days, remove the letters and create a set of new ones. Repeat the activity.
