As a parent and homeschooling mom, I’m always looking for new ways to help my kids have fun while learning. XGirl has been learning her letters.
In this next installment of my 101 Ways to Teach the Alphabet Series I am sharing a letter hunt sensory bin I created for my sensory bin-loving daughter to enjoy.
I took all of the letters out of our lowercase letters crepe rubber puzzle
I invited XGirl to dig through the bin to find the letters.
As she found the letters, she placed them into her lowercase letters crepe rubber puzzle
As she placed the letters back into the puzzle, I asked her to tell me the sounds they made.
In fact, one thing I particularly like about our lowercase letters crepe rubber puzzle
XGirl loved this activity, and chose to do it multiple times. You can keep this activity fresh by changing out the base material. For example, instead of using split peas, you could substitute beans, rice, or other materials. Check out my sensory play page for lots of other filler ideas for your sensory bin.
