Brydie, from England, sent in this great activity to help with name recognition. Let’s take a look at it…
What did you do?
1. Draw out your child’s name on tinfoil using a pen/pencil
2. Cut out the letters with scissors
3. Glue the foil lettering onto paper/card
4. Cover the lettering with Pom poms using fingers/child friendly tweezers
This activity is great for toddlers/preschool. It allows children to practise recognisIng their name and also incorporates fine motor activities if you use tweezers/tongues for the Pom poms.
Do you have any other projects planned?
My next project is going to be based around zoo animals using animal figures, water play and an information book about zoo animals!
