This activity is all about exploring their names to help the boys and girls begin to recognize them. Recognizing their names is the first step to early literacy. Their names have meaning and value to them…it’s personal. One of the best places to start early letter recognition is through name activities. Be sure to make it fun…write it with chalk when you’re playing outside…write it in the sandbox or even in the steam on the bathroom mirror after bath time. If you’re feeling adventurous use play dough to spell it! The great thing about play-based, name recognition activities is they won’t even know their learning…they’ll just know their spending time with you!
