Bubble goop letter learning

Goop and bubbles are fun to play with so we mixed them together to make a fun sensory letter learning.

I took our letter ice trays and made colored ice with them and then added it to our play. You can also use the dollar letter magnets that are plastic they work great as well.

Simple, fun and learning at the same time.

You can buy the ice trays here. Letter Ice Trays There is a lot you can do with these trays from sensory play to bath play.

Below are some other fun sensory ways we worked on letters in the past.

DIY....Magnetic learning blocks

I bought some wooden blocks from the craft store awhile ago and have been wanting to do something with them. The other day I was in Lakeshore Learning Store and saw some magnetic letter matching games and I got this idea.

So I went home and had the kids help paint the wooden blocks so they were colorful. Then glued magnets on each block, wrote upper and lower case letters and number/dots on them and we had a fun matching game.

Super easy and inexpensive to make.

Materials:
3/4 wooden blocks
Paint (optional)
Sharpie marker
Magnets
E6000 glue (or strong glue)

 

Have the kids paint the wooden blocks, so they feel important with helping to make the learning game. Great way to have the kids involved in the fun.

Sharks and minnows alphabet fishing game

We love playing fun learning games. What better way then to have fun playing and learning at the same time. So I found this free printable over at Projects for preschoolers and printed it and traced the shark and minnows onto craft foam.

Then I placed paper clips on them and wrote upper and lower case letters so we could play a matching fishing and spelling game.

This is a great game for learning as well as fine motor and eye/hand coordination for kids.

How we played is I would hold up a letter and Jake would fish for them with the magnetic fishing poles. Then I would spell words and he put them in order.

This game can be played in a sensory bin, kiddie pool, bath tub or a sand box like we did. Great for a center area in a preschool or daycare as well.

If you don't have a magnetic fishing pole stop by Bonbon Break and check out the cool homemade fishing pole she made for her kids.

If you like learning games below are some of our favorites.

You can also do learning in the kiddie pool when it is warm outside like we did over the summer. We are so ready for it to be warm outside.

Shamrock rainbow alphabet learning bath

I love to watch the kids learn through play and so I put together a fun Alphabet matching and spelling learning game for bath.

This is a fun and simple bath and can also be used outside the bath as well. 

All you need is foam shamrocks and letters from the Dollar Tree. If you didn't know when craft foam is wet it works like a sticker on the tub or wall. We also used a spin chart I got in the Target dollar section for a little extra fun...spin the wheel and find the letter.

This game can also be used outside the bath, all you need is a dry erase board. If you take a squirt bottle and damp the foam it will stick to the dry erase board or even a chalk board.

I would spell a word and "J" had to find the letters and put them in order.

With toddlers you can have them find the letters and tell them what it is and then have them repeat after you. That is what we did with "C".

They really enjoyed this bath and is a great way to tie in learning.

If you like to get learning time in during bath time be sure to check out some of our other learning baths we have done.
