We just built a word! Place white labels on the side of duplo blocks and write your letters on them for a unique way to build and practice your child's spelling words.
On the short side of an Easter egg put various consonants on the longer side put different word endings such at "at" "in" "an" "ig" Kids spin the consonant side of the egg to make different words. Great practice for beginning readers!
Buy a small pine board; paint it if you want to. Make a grid out of paper and mark your board at each corner with thumb tacks. Remove the paper and tap each thumb tack at each with a rubber mallet. We spaced ours about 1 1/2 inches apart. Add colored hair ties and young kids can use the board to build and learn their shapes and colors.
