Do A Dot Name Painting

Dot Paint Name

N loves to use the dot paints! Such a simple activity that keeps her attention.  Simply write your child's name in large letters (upper or lower case-they need to learn to recognize both) and let him/her start dabbing away!  N likes to drag the dot painters so I had to show her again how to dab them.

Letter Matching

L matched letters on clothespins to letters on a card.

To make:
1) write letters on clothespins
2) write letters on an index card
3) match away!

This activity reinforces letter recognition, name recognition, and fine motor skills.
