A Few Fun Ways to Play
Make the game your own by getting creative!
Our preschooler has the most fun (and success) when we pick just a handful of letters to work on at a time. Sometimes, I’ll set out a few puzzles and tell her she has to “unlock the letter code” before we go for a walk, play at the park, or have dessert.
You can also use the pieces to build small words or encourage your child to group pictures by their beginning sounds.
These puzzles have been a big hit in our house — I love that they sneak in learning while keeping things playful and seasonal. I hope your little ones enjoy them too!
