Flash cards have never been one of my favorites. My
oldest son shares my sentiments. So when I saw this great idea for alphabet
spoons on From
Kindergarten With Love, I knew it would be a great way to work with my
youngest son on letter recognition.
This activity is inexpensive and comes together quickly.
What You Need
26 White plastic disposable spoons
26 Clear plastic disposable spoons
Upper case and lower case letter stickers (or good
handwriting and a Sharpie)
Adhere the upper case letters to the white spoons toward
the tip of the spoon. Adhere the lower case letter stickers to the bottom part
of the clear spoons.
Now determine, based on your child's readiness, how many
pairs of spoons to play with. My son and I worked on the first half of the
alphabet (a-m). He was overwhelmed, so I separated the upper and lower case
spoons to make it easier.
These can easily slip into a plastic zipper-sealed bag
for a great take-along game. And for kids proficient in letter work, can be used for alphabetizing practice!
