This is a simple activity which will help young children to recognise letters of the alphabet!

Here are the simple steps:

1) Collect craft materials such as newspaper, bubble wrap,string,etc.

2) Prepare pre-cut letters, a, b and c for example.

3) Ask the child to glue the materials onto a piece of paper in the shape of each letter. Depending on the child's age, they may need some help and guidance in doing this task.

4) Then... make a picture of something beginning with each letter and stick it down directly next to the letter. This activity benefits a child's development in the following ways:

• They will learn to recognise new letters
• They will begin to associate letters with words and later, with the pictures and objects.
• Hand-eye co-ordination benefits
• New craft ideas and skills will be learnt and hopefully... the child will enjoy it!:)
