Helping your children learn their letters can seem like a daunting task. Where do you start? Should you go in order? How can you best help them learn? Our advice? Keep it FUN!

Children learn through play, exploration, reading, and observation. Learning the alphabet doesn't have to mean memorizing flash cards or endless workbook pages. There are many fun and hands-on ways for children to learn their letters.
Here are a few ideas to help keep learning fun.

Nature Art- Go for a nature walk and use natural materials such as rocks, sticks, leaves and grass to create alphabets. To keep them motivated, take photographs of what they create and put them together in a collage.

Sand Alphabet- Who doesn’t enjoy a sunny day at the beach? Help your kids make alphabets with a stick on the sand or play alphabet treasure hunt in the sand!

ABC Cookies — Get a set of alphabet cookie cutters and bake ABC cookies. Get your child involved in the whole process, and talk about the letters as you eat them!

What's a toy you can reuse over and over again? Blocks, of course! 𓏠

Your little one can play with blocks at any age. You can help baby make the most of playing with blocks. 𓏠👧🏻

Try out some of these block play activities!

✅ Talk and be descriptive when playing
✅ Show baby how to use blocks in different ways (stacking, tapping, grasping)
✅ Provide blocks of different colors, sizes, and textures
✅ Use an engaging response to make it fun (gasping, laughing)

Play starts when we are babies, but it does not stop there! Including play in your child’s daily routine and giving them time to play is important for their development at every age. These stages are general guidelines for what to expect of your child’s play skills. 👦🏻🧸

✅ Gives the child a choice about what he or she wants to do

✅ Feels fun and enjoyable for the child

✅ Evolves spontaneously, rather than giving kids a script to follow

✅ Is driven by intrinsic motivation about what the child wants to do

✅ Creates a risk-free environment where kids can experiment and try new ideas.

All young children learn through meaningful hands-on experiences—through touching, doing, and moving. And children also learn through seeing and hearing. As you observe your child, you will begin to identify strengths and preferences that tell you something about your child’s preferred learning style. 👦🏻📚

Visual learners learn through seeing. These children tend to observe a parent’s or teacher’s body language and facial expressions for content and learn through demonstrations and descriptions. 👀



Auditory learners learn through listening, they prefer participating in discussions and talking things through. Verbal directions may help clarify instructions or written information. Too much noise may be distracting and children with this strength may learn best in a quiet environment. 👂



Tactile learners learn through touch. Children who are more tactile prefer activities or projects that allow them to use their hands. Your child may prefer doodling or drawing to aid memory. 👋



Kinesthetic learners learn through moving and doing. Children who are more kinesthetic learn through physical sensations and may have trouble sitting still for long periods. A hands-on approach that allows your child to actively explore her physical world helps her learn best. 🏃

The best way to learn about your child’s learning style is to observe what he or she is doing. Actions, interests, and preferences will provide information about how he or she is processing information. 📚👦🏻

Ask yourself questions like these:

✅ What types of toys does she prefer? Does she prefer quiet activities or lots of movement?

✅ Does he like to read books and draw pictures? Does he prefer to be shown how to do something rather than being told verbally?

✅ Is she active? Does she like to move and participate in more active activities?

✅ Is he drawn to numbers and patterns?
