Name Rubbings Activity

name rubbings

This Name Rubbings activity for preschoolers is so good. They’ll to recognize letters, learn the spelling of their names and to develop many important skills!

They’ll have fun rubbing the crayons over their paper to reveal some amazing letters. Using a different color for each letter makes it even more fun!

It’s really easy to set up and only requires the adult to use the hot glue gun to “write” out the letters. That’s it!

Materials:

–Card stock or flash cards

–Crayons

–Hot glue gun

–White cardstock/paper

 

Instructions:

With your hot glue gun, write each letter from your childs’ name (1 letter per 2″x 4″ card or flash card, I cut my papers out). Now, let your child stick the card with the letter underneath the white paper and scribble lightly with the crayon. You’ll see the letter appear! So fun!

What is my child learning?

-Hand-eye coordination (using crayons over the letter to trace)

-Focus

-Letter recognition

-Fine/small motor skills (holding on to the crayons)

 

This activity is great for the brain, let’s just say that! It works on sight and recognition of letters and helps with learning to spell their names, as well as learn the letter of the alphabet. Using the crayon to go over the hot glue letter improves and exercises fine/small motor skills and of course you’ll see focus and concentration from your child while he/she is doing this activity.

•Scavenger Hunt Using Nature Print Paper• Hav •Scavenger Hunt Using Nature Print Paper•  Have you ever heard of @natureprintpaper? This magical blue paper captures anything you place on it, using the sun! ☀️ It’s amazing and I really wanted to tell you guys about it! ✨ We did a simple but beautiful Scavenger Hunt Using Nature Print Paper! 🌲  Nature Print Paper was kind enough to send us a packet of their paper for my kids and I to try. And let me tell you, we had a blast! It’s truly magical! We collected some outdoor nature finds, like pinecones, pine needles, evergreen and twigs. Get creative and use wildflowers, acorns, grass, weeds, leaves, anything you can find! After collecting our nature finds, we used Nature Print Paper to capture the shadows and then taped them to a piece of cardboard and labeled each print. It was a ton of fun!  I’ll link this activity to my bio so you can try it too! ❤️  💫SAVE for later and TAG your friends below to share!👇🏻
