Alphabet Matching

Riley, Josh, and I were hanging by ourselves this past weekend because daddy and Callie were in Michigan for a wedding. I put together a few alphabet activities for him to do. He really enjoyed both things, which was great because sometimes he gets bored with something I make for him.

The first activity I made for him involved me writing the alphabet on the white board and then he had to use magnetic letters to match them. This kept him busy for probably 15 or 20 minutes. I sat with him the whole time and we made a game of it.

The ABCs written on the white board.

Matching the letters

Contemplating what letter to put up next.

"Mom, take a picture of me laying here with these letters." Silly boy.

The last letter.

I extended this activity since he was really enjoying it. I wrote his name at the bottom and then I told him all the letters were hiding and he had to find the right ones to make his name. He had fun searching for them.

"Take a picture of me standing here." He was really into me taking pictures of him during this.

Hmm, where is that "H".

Oh there it is!

 The next day I wrote all the letters on a piece of paper and had him paint over the letters with a q-tip. He really liked this activity also.

Some playdough fun.
