Hands-on activities are fantastic for your preschool child.  While kids learn when they can see or hear, they learn even better when they can touch, too! Get your child’s fingers walking the alphabet, with this easy project. All you need is glue, and a few other simple supplies.

What You Need:

• white glue
• popsicle sticks or an old pencil
• food coloring (optional)
• markers
• 26 large index cards
• paper plates

What You Do:

1. Using thin markers, write one letter of the alphabet on each index card.  Include your child in this process.  Younger children can name the letters. Older preschoolers can share in the writing itself.
2. Squeeze some white glue onto a paper plate.  If you’d like, add a drop or two of food coloring to the glue for a nice color effect.  (Not required if you used colorful markers to create the alphabet on the index cards.)
