Learning Alphabet with Mega Blocks

Here is one more super activity with Mega Blocks to teach toddlers alphabets and learn sight words for preschoolers.

I have never met a child who wouldn't love to play with Blocks. So why not teach the alphabets by leveraging this interest?

This wonderful quote says it all "What we learn with pleasure we never forget".

We bought these Blocks for LO when he was 18 months old and nowadays he doesn't turn up to them. He hadn't played with these for ages! So I thought to give these Blocks a new look so that he would fell in love with them again. Obviously Alphas can give the best look I thought.

What you will need for this activity,

• Permanent Marker
• Mega Blocks

How do we start?

First, write the alphas on Blocks using your permanent marker. You can also use dry-erase maker if you are really concerned using the permanent one. I wrote uppercase letters on 26 blocks and did the same for lowercase. We had 55 count of the square block type, so I did in this way. You can alter the pattern of writing according to the number of blocks you have.

The Activity Begins!

Now the real fun starts. I handed over the blocks to LO and he got really thrilled at the first sight!

He started to look for the A,B,Cs to put them in order. 

And I suggested LO to pair the Uppercase and Lowercase letters and he did a marvelous job.

I also combined the Blocks to form his favorite sight words like Mat, Cat, Dog, etc. This is a great way to learn sight words for the beginners.

On Lowercase Blocks I wrote the alphas on one more side in a different pattern so LO can build the other way too!

We also did uppercase and lowercase matching.

LO strived hard to build big tower of Uppercase and Lowercase Alphas and I loved the effort he took to complete it. 

You can teach your kid to build his name and they are gonna love it. Once you are done with the Alphas written on Blocks there are ample activities you can do in. I will share you with more activities with these Alpha-Blocks as we do it. You can also teach numbers, shapes, etc with these Blocks. 

Please share your suggestions and comments, it means a lot to me!

Happy Parenting!😊
