I got this idea from my son’s preschool teacher. The best part? Only a one minute set up! It’s a really easy way to help your child practice spelling their name, work on their letter recognition and work on those fine motor skills!
What you’ll need:
-Any kind of thicker paper
- Clothespins
- A marker
1: Cut your paper to desired length to fit your child’s name.
2: Count how many letters are in their name, and then mark that many sections off on the paper and get that many clothespins.
3: Write one letter of their name in each section.
4: Write one letter of their name on each clothes pin.
5: Have your child match up the clothespins with the correct letters on the paper!
Activity notes:
-Once you’re child is done, put everything in a plastic baggy and save for another time. I made this one for my son to do on the airplane and it was so easy to pull out and use again!
-you could let your child color or paint the clothespins and paper to stretch the activity out a little more.
