My youngest son is turning 3 tomorrow, so this week we are doing fun Birthday inspired activities. Today's activity was a fun Birthday Banner inspired Letter Matching Activity.
Supplies: Happy Birthday Banner (with uppercase letters), Playdough Covers, Permanent Marker, Box, Bin or Basket for Storage
Setup: Spread the banner on a floor or table. On the playdough covers write all the letters that spell out 'Happy Birthday' (exactly like the banner phrase). Put the playdough cover letters in a box, bin or or basket beside the banner or spread out underneath the banner.
I set up the banner on the floor, and I laid all the covers under the banner (see above). I chose not to force this activity on my two youngest. I simply set it up and walked away. My 2 year old was the first to notice this colorful and enticing activity. He started to match up the letters when his sister age 4 saw him at play. She came over and they worked together to match up all the letters. The I on our banner was the only letter that I helped them with.
They were pretty proud of themselves when they had all the letters matched up.
I love that they are starting to recognize letters and are able to match the letters to the sign.
Can't wait to celebrate my little man's birthday tomorrow!!
