Variation: Add food coloring to your glue to make the letters “pop”.

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.
