Early Literacy/Sensory Activity

This activity was used in a child drop-in centre. I set it up so that the child could participate with minimal adult direction, depending on their age, of course.

The bin is filled with foam pieces and are mixed together with letters that have magnets on the back of them. So the children have the sensory experience of looking through the foam to find letters to stick to the small whiteboard.

The directions are for the guardian/parent to read to the child. Usually the child just enjoyed pushing the foam around to find the letters under it.
