What you will need:
- a couple packages of clothespins
- a sharpie (permanent marker)
- printed & laminated name cards (or sight words!)
Write the letters (I used uppercase - you could use both) on both sides of the clothespin.
Make sure you have at least two of each letter and a bunch of vowels!!
The children find the matching clothespin letters and put them on the card - on the corresponding letter.
The children love searching for friends names and then the letters.
My mother did this with us when I was a child. She was a Montessori early educator.
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that! I love how simple it is to create.
DeleteLove this! Making it this weekend...
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely brilliant idea! Will definitely be making one of these for our group of children . . . thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI have done this for many things. Use for matching letters, either upper to upper or lower to lower or upper to lower or visa versa.
