To help your child learn letters it is always best
to start
with the letters in their name.
TABLE TOP LETTERS
Use masking tape to print your child's name on the top of
a table. Have your child trace over the letters with their
fingers, while you say the name of each letter.
LETTER PRINTS
Give your child a piece of paper to lay on top of the masking
tape letters. Then help them peel off the paper from a crayon.
Next, show them how to lay the crayon sideways and rub across
the paper to make a print of their name.
COVERING THE LETTERS
Give your child some small objects and have her cover the
masking tape letters with the objects. Examples of small objects:
cheerios, raisins, buttons, pennies, cottonballs, etc.
MORE TABLE TOP LETTER IDEAS
Help your child form the letters from his name out of
cool cooked spaghetti pasta.
Show your child how to make long playdough snakes, then
help her fashion the letters of her name out of the dough.
