This alphabet activity will appeal to kids who love the night sky as well as kids who enjoy playing with stickers. As an added bonus, kids also produce a nice little art project while doing this activity.

In this week’s installment of my 101 Ways to Teach the Alphabet Series, I am sharing a very simple activity called Starry Night Letters.

This alphabet activity will appeal to kids who love the night sky as well as kids who enjoy playing with stickers. Help your child create a beautiful starry night sky with letter stars. As your child places the stars on his artwork, discuss the letter sounds together to support his learning.|| Gift of Curiosity

For this activity, you need the following:

  • Black construction paper (for the night sky)
  • Star stickers (we used foam star stickers)
  • Permanent marker (to write letters on the stars)

Start by writing letters on the stars. Write letters that your child is working on learning.

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

I scatted the stars all around the construction paper and then invited my child to come help me make a starry night sky.

I allowed my child to select a star. He peeled the paper off the back and then added the star to the night sky.

We talked about the sound made by each letter as he placed the stars on the paper.

To get the most out of this activity, you will want to be actively involved in helping your child say the sounds made by each letter. (I prefer to work on letter sounds before letter names.)

You might also encourage your child to make a constellation in the night sky if he desires.

The end result is increased knowledge of letter sounds and a beautiful starry night picture.

    I love all the ideas you have for helping kids learn the alphabet! The starry night letters would also look cute on the Christmas-Play-Dough-Mat (the one with the houses, tree, and blue background) you offer.

    Thanks so much for sharing your ideas! .
