Next, gather a set of 26 spring loaded clothespins per child. Then, write one letter on the clip end of each clothespin with a fine point permanent marker.

Finally, place one set of clothespins and a fire engine mat in plastic storage bag, one bag per child.

Pro Tip: use a different colored permanent marker for each set of clothespins so they don’t get mixed up.
