Marble Letters


DO NOT EVER LEAVE YOUR CHILD UN ATTENDED WITH MARBLES. CHOKING HAZARD (Despite their large size, I am not liable for someone elses lack of good judgment =)

Another fun activity! The possibilities are endless!

-1 bag of flat, clear marbles (dollar store or craft store, Walmarts aren't as clear)
-1 print out of bold Alphabet letters.
-glue stick

For my letters I tabbed twice between each letter and skipped two rows between the letters to give me room to draw a circle around each letter. The text size was 26 and I did capital letters =) Do what works best for your toddler.

Draw a circle around each letter and cut them out.

Rub your glue stick on the front of the letter and then stick it to the bottom of the marble.

Ideas:
-You can spell your toddlers name.
-Spell other words
-Ask them to find the first letter of their name.
-Jumble them up and ask your toddler to put them in order (I only used a few marbles for this one because my son is too young to organize the whole alphabet)

Pom Pom Letters


This was pretty fun! And our son did really good with little help from me. After showing him what to do I would place a dot of glue down and then he would place down the pom pom. Something simple but he enjoyed himself =)









1 sheet card stock

marker
glue
pom pom's

Draw a letter on the paper as a guide for your toddler. Dot the letter with glue and let them place the pom pom's down =) Each time he would place one down we would talk about what color it was.
