My toddler is getting to a greater extent than together with to a greater extent than interested inward letters, numbers, shapes, together with colors, thence we've been doing a few learning activities lately based on her interests. I'll hold out sharing many of these activities amongst you. These Little Learners activities innovate unproblematic concepts and use materials that my toddler enjoys. My toddler is currently 27 months old.
This calendar week nosotros discovered a large handbag of bottle caps inward my arts and crafts cupboard. We played amongst them together with moved them around together with and then nosotros took a few of them together with I created a unproblematic matching game using my daughter's name. She is real friendly (despite having some intense social anxiety) together with loves to innovate herself to people using her name. Names are thence of import to kids together with they beloved talking close their names, identifying them, together with learning to write together with spell them too!
To do this unproblematic bottle cap mention matching game you lot but take away some bottle caps together with a few other supplies.
Supplies:
- bottle caps (enough to spell your child's name)
- alphabet stickers
- paper
- marker/pen
Directions:
Trace around a bottle cap to brand circles on your newspaper to fit the position out of letters inward your child's name. My immature adult woman has 7 letters inward her name, thence I made 7 circles.
Write letters inward the circles amongst markers or piece of job stickers together with position them within the drawn circles.
Stick alphabet letters on each bottle cap equally well... 1 for each alphabetic lineament inward your child's name.
Our simple version but had matching stickers on the caps together with on the paper. This version helped us exercise unproblematic matching skills. The alphabetic lineament circles were but scattered on the paper.
Our harder version had majuscule stickers on the bottle caps together with lowercase letters written inward the newspaper circles. The letters were also places left to correct the agency a mention would ordinarily hold out written. This version helped us exercise recognizing lower together with majuscule letters together with matching them inward order.
My immature adult woman liked the simpler version the best, but it was interesting to encounter her reaction to the lowercase letters together with sentinel her explore them a flake together with comment on what each 1 looked like.
Initially nosotros did this activity together together with enjoyed talking close the letters together with colors that nosotros saw. As my immature adult woman got to a greater extent than experienced amongst the activity, nosotros were able to transition it into a unproblematic independent activity for her (while I was nonetheless unopen by). Once she position the puzzle together, she would motility the caps off together with shout, "again!" together with and then she would do it all over again.
It was adorable to encounter how proud she was close making her mention together with talking close letters, but similar her large blood brother likes to do.
