Letter Matching

L is working on matching lower and upper case letters.

Materials:
1) 52 circle magnets
2) garage sale stickers
3) sharpie
4) cookie sheet


To Make:
1) write the upper case letters on one color of sticker and the lower case letters on another color of sticker
2) attach stickers to magnets
3) place magnets on tray

Match away!


L has learned most of the pairs but it helps him to sing the alphabet song as he does it.
This activity reinforces letter recognition and fine motor skills.

(Side note: After making this activity we learned the circle magnets were too strong and would either stick to each other or would flip over. If I were to change this activity I would attach the magnets to a different material-a clothespin or a wooden tile with the letters written on them. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but L got frustrated very easily with the magnets.)
