What is it about a magnifying glass that intrigues kids so much? My kids have always enjoyed playing around with a magnifying glass to look at things up close.

In the next installment of my 101 Ways to Teach the Alphabet Series I am sharing an activity that involves hunting for miniature letters using a magnifying glass.

I set up this activity by placing a Learning Resources magnifying glass on a tray along with one worksheet from my Miniature Letter Hunt printable (see info at end of post to get this printable for yourself).

101 Ways to Teach the Alphabet: Hands-on, multi-sensory activities for teaching the alphabet to children ages 2 to 7.

Each worksheet has several teeny, tiny letters on it that are difficult to read with the naked eye, but that can easily be read with the aid of a magnifying glass.

I invited my daughter to use the magnifying glass to enlarge the letters so she could find them.
