Drive your letters!

Writing letters can get really boring if you don't have lots of fun! The best way to frustrate a preschooler is to make them write and rewrite their letter with a pencil and paper. So to keep from frustrating your preschooler and yourself go outside and give this activity a try!

All you need is some sidewalk chalk, and toy cars! Have your preschooler draw their letters and practice directionality (is that even a word?) - the right way to write them.

Have your child draw a pretty large letter on the sidewalk which will act as a road. Encourage your child to drive on their letter road in the right direction. To do this draw a green dot where they should start, arrows to lead them along the way, and a stop sign and the end. You could even print out street signs and place them along the way. This will make letter writing and learning to right way to write them seem more like play and less like practice!
