Calling all moms who are looking for another idea to practice letters.
I purchased poster letter stickers on a whim one afternoon.
What a great purchase!!!! I originally was thinking fun cheap stickers, however, it has turned into so much more!
I gave little man the stickers for his name and he pulled the paper back off and put them on the paper.
He decided that it wasn't enough just to have the stickers. He needed to make a border for each letter. Which was AWESOME, since he was outlining each letter!
(Practicing letters all on his own)
We spell his name to him all the time and he was writing C and L over and over.
I encourage him to use various mediums to enhance his art. We had painted earlier in the day and spent time practicing using colored pencils while his sister was sleeping (she likes to try to eat them, good ideas from a 11 month old). It was time to bust out the crayons.
The letters were inspiring. He found his favorite letter H. Not sure where that came from but he points how "big H" anytime he sees one. Today we used the letter sticker to demonstrate how to make his letter H.
We used the pattern 'line, line, cross' to practice making about four dozen H's today. It was exciting to see him start writing.
