You should know I tried to do this activity with my youngest once before we really did it. She got upset and stomped out of the room. She told me no more activities. You have to go with the flow and never force something they don’t want to do. If they say no, let them not do it. Never make them feel they have to do something or guilt them into doing it. And yes I have been guilty of that. With that said…on to the activity that we did after watching LeapFrog: Letter Factory.

What you need: paper and Melissa & Doug Magnetic Wooden Alphabet.

While they are matching the upper and lower case ask them about the sounds that the letter makes. If you are doing this with an older child ask them to saw a word that starts with the letter.

  1. I never thought to practice matching upper and lower case letters with magnets! I just pulled a similar set out of a bin and put them on the fridge (mine are dollar store cheapos). I’ll be using this idea in the coming days with my K5. Thanks for sharing via Family Fun Friday.

  2. This is a fantastic idea for upper and lower case letters.
