8 Sensory Play Activities Using the Alphabet

Introducing toddlers and young children to the alphabet early on can be so beneficial to their early literacy development. The key is to make it fun and natural rather than a lesson. By exposing children to letters through play, you help them develop a positive feeling towards learning.

Last week’s Discover & Explore ABC’s & 123’s themed linky was just filled with so many wonderful letter and number activities! (If you haven’t seen all the creative ideas yet, be sure to go back and check them out. I couldn’t stop pinning!) I’d like to feature some of my favorite posts from last week that combined the alphabet and sensory play~ a winning combination!
