Outdoor Letter/Sound Matching & Kid's Co-op Link Party

I LOVE this activity!  You can do it BEFORE your child knows their letters or letter sounds!



All you need are:

The kit is intended for making posters, but of course I had other ideas.  We chose to do this outdoors because it was such a nice day.  The Poster Punch Out kit includes 150 cardstock letters and numbers so I emptied them into a bucket.    


Drew and Lainey pointed out objects they wanted to label and I told them the beginning sound and gave them the letter to tape to the object!



We even did some numbers:


Simple, educational, and fun!

If your child already knows their letters and letter sounds, you could do a more traditional sound matching activity by giving each child a letter and having them find an object that starts with that letter.

*We received the Poster Punch Outs kit free from Craft Project Ideas as part of a Rainy Day Survival Kit. Opinions and ideas are 100% mine.

  2. Great idea to take letter/ number learning outside... They probably didn't think it was "learning!"
