Trying to think of new ways to help your little one recognize the alphabet? Try these two activities for educational fun....
My "A" Book -Staple several pieces of white construction paper together with a colored construction paper cover. "My A Book" and your children's name on the cover. Cut out magazine pictures of those things which begin with the letter "A", as well as actual upper and lowercase letters from ads or article titles. Let the children chose the pictures and letters they want, and glue them onto their book pages. Later, arrange a time for the children to read their books to you.
Feelie Box-Have a feelie box, that children can't look into, such as covered with a towel or sheet. Have them guess the object starting with the letter "A" that you have placed in the box.
Use these two cool activities to teach alphabet letters A-Z and numbers as well.

Make your own Zoo!
"A" is for animals-Cut out magazine pictures of animals and laminate, if you wish. Have your child put them on a poster board or a wall in their room and create their own zoo! Talk with children about how animals walk, eat and sounds they make...and then when ready take your child to the real zoo for a more enhanced experience. Alternatively, photocopy animal coloring book pages for the children to color and make a picture book.
Animal Masks-
Make animal masks out of paper plates or grocery bags using decorative items such as stickers, tissue paper, markers, glue, yarn, etc. Have a puppet show or small play and let the children make up their own lines for their animal.
