Playdough letters


Learning that's fun is such a simple thing to teach parents. If you try to give kids a piece of paper with letters all over, it's not going to be much fun. So adding simple manipulates like letter magnets or playdough letter stamping, to the usual handwriting practice, will make talking about letters and words so fun. Lola really loves it. I'll give her a _UP and the letters P&C and let her make words that she can sound out. She was really interested in words like mom and dad that are the same spelled backwards. It's exciting having her come to me through out the day and say, 'Mom' I just read this, it says fat cat or san diego zoo.' :)
