Alphabet Activities


Let’s face it, learning the letters of the alphabet is not always fun for young children. They’d much rather be swinging or playing in the mud than learning to identify those squiggly lines we call letters.

But, all it takes is a little creativity and you can make super fun, engaging alphabet activities your kids will love. These hands-on activities won’t break the bank either!

And the best part is, your kids will think they’re playing and they won’t even realize they’re learning – mission accomplished!
