Alphabet Letter Learning  Game

alphabet-battle-letter-learning-game

If you are familiar with the game battleship, this alphabet game from Mom Inspired Life is a great learning twist on the game format. (I may be adding this one to my file to play with my nieces and nephew.)

Toilet Paper Train Craft

train craft made with toilet paper rolls from Homeschool Creations - great project for the letter Tt unit

Here’s a fun toilet paper train craft to work on using recycled materials. You can make your train as long {or as short} as you’d like. We decided on four colors, so we had four cars on our train. Be sure to ask your child which is first and last. I forgot that the caboose is red…and had a four-year-old that was non-too-happy when he saw I made it the engine.

Learning Colors and Numbers with Uno
